I have often wondered about these one church denominations led by a charismatic pastor. Frequently the pastor has parlayed his calling into a very posh life style while the congregation remains poor. In the book A Hope in the Unseen, the pastor of a D.C. church was driving around in a Rolls and spending times in his sermon laying a guilt trip on poor people about giving money to the church. One wonders why they fell for him. Clearly, he was filling some need they had but were they blind to what he was doing with a lot of their money?
