He Only paid for One Bentley, the Other was a Gift....
A LA pentecostal preacher filed a lawsuit against the 20/20 news program citing that they falsely illustrated his life in one of their programs. The Rev. Frederick K.C. Price, pastor and founder of Crenshaw Christian Center, was part of a segment on televangelists titled 'Enough!' (Did they catch Benny Hinh in this one? Somebody tell that guy I'll punch him in the gut but steal his cool suits.)
20/20 apparently painted the religious leader as an overly wealthy individual who has too much. I can totally agree that 20/20 would bash Christians like this, but that doesn't mean preacher Price is out of the clear. My favorite quote from the article?
"And one of his two Bentley cars was a gift from two of his congregants."
OH, geez, for a minute there I thought he bought two, but really it was one. One for him and one for his wife. I don't mind rich pastor's, there's nothing in the Bible that suggests a pastor needs to be poor. Rather a church should be good stewards to pay their pastor what they can afford. Rich churches will have wealthier pastors. What I don't like is extravagance, and although I'm not one to judge, two Bentley's seems a bit much. I mean come on, sell one and save the seals, better yet, the hungry hippos, or maybe the hungry inner city kids.....Just saying.
