My brother once commented (rather perceptively) that I try to solve every problem I encounter by
throwing money at it.
He was not wrong. And
I’m not the only one.
An elder at one of the
local churches in my neighbourhood invited me over for dinner a few weeks ago,
and we spent a very enjoyable evening together discussing nearly everything
under the sun. One of the subjects he brought up was the regular compensation
of pastors.
To his satisfaction, I did the expected double-take.
