This is a response to Deacon Greg's comment.

It astounds me that so many people feel that ministers should live in virtual squalor while working for the Lord. That mindset is beyond comprehension and very much antuquated. How in the world would believers reach those unbelievers who live extremely well if all of us were living in a destitute state? It is safe to say that most of those rich unbelievers wouldn't want to hear anything about Jesus.

The mere fact that Fred Price exists is truly a God-send. His life and message is an inspiration to millions and he has help to raise the level of expectation among Christians. He earns an income which is established by a board of directors, he and his wife tithe consistently and give generously to legitimate ministries and causes. So I don't see what your gripe is about him living in a mansion. If he's doing all of the right things and he isn't hoarding money, what business is it of yours or anyone if he chooses to live in a mansion or a shack. I mean really, at the end of the day, he earns an income and he has every right to spend his money as he chooses - just like you or I or Bill Gates or the Rothschilds.

Keep that in mind before writing such uninformed drivel.
