Another "man of god" using his position of power to defraud people

If your pastor is not accountable to at least three other pastors (outside of his own church) - then it is time to find another pastor.

A lot of these "megachurch" guys are in it for fame, money, and adoration - not to help other people. Their churches become "cults of personality" (or, simply, "cults") and they lose all perspective on right and wrong.

If you cannot walk up to your pastor after service and say: "I need to talk to you right now." ...without being referred to a subordinate minister or "care group leader," you should heed the warning sign and find someone who actually cares about you.

I speak from painful experience.
