I am not into organized religion but I challenge your thinking respectfully. A person can have a good word of encouragement for people, help them, and still make good money having his own business or another job besides his pastor duties. Jesus said the poor will always be with you. Meaning that some ppl will always be poor because they lack discipline, etc. So, if you have a drunk who never works in your congregation and always spend every penny on booze, the preacher isn't allowed to have a penny because of the lifestyle of an unwise addict in his church? And addicts have been abundant in today's church. What about the pastors who minister to the homeless, orphans, etc. Are they not allowed to have a home or family either? How far does this line of thinking go? Just a thought and challenge, not trying to offend.
