Many have given thoughts on the tax exempt status of churches. Share your thoughts here.
Had a pastor I remember who preached against "worldly" desires, several times called out the trend of 3-car garages. How "back in the day" you had a 1-car garage. This wasn't enough, so the 2-car garage became the norm. Then, for all "the toys" (boat / motorcycle / etc) everybody wants the 3-car garage. When's it ever gonna be enough blah blah blah..
Found out later he made $80-grand at the with tax exempt "housing stipend" (in a small-ish MN town with pretty low cost of living).
And he had a 3-car garage.
This is an issue more people should be thinking and voting about!
