I guess that's why I see so many churches in Detroit. When I was young we went to church and the church was old and cramped. The pastor lived in the church and didn't even own a car. Now I see people like that Marvin Winans driving a Lexus and wearing expensive jewelry. I just don't see how a man of God who is suppose to deliver God's message becomes so wealthy. It's almost as if they are hired speakers than actual religious leaders. Not surprisingly these ministers and churches operate in poor areas. Do they really need such an expensive place of worship? Of the 36 million they spent on their church, that would've went a long way in the community.
