In my last post, I talked about my inability to reconcile wealthy TV preachers asking for people to give money to worthy causes. But here's part two of my debate with myself.
On one hand, I believe in getting paid for a job well done. And I have to admit, I have certain financial goals and dreams. Someday, I'd like to be able to afford some of those things.
But at what level is that okay? At what point should I put on the brakes and say, "whoa?" Not that I'm nearly there yet... we're still working hard to make ends meet. Though even with that, I wonder if we could do with less.
No, I don't have any great answers to this one. Still tossing around thoughts and trying to make sure that whatever I'm doing, I'm honoring God with it.
More opinion. If you are in ministry, a friend of mine has a good guideline: don't make much more than the average person of those you are serving make. But if you are not in ministry, I say, sky's the limit. That is between you and God. Just my (and my friend's) take.
