Joshua,

How they spend their money is between them and God. Yes, they 
probably should be wiser with what God has given them, but so should 
we. It's not up to you to judge them. If you have a problem with how 
they spend it, write them and tell them, and see where that gets you. 
I'm tired of you venting here like that. We can't do anything about 
it, and neither can you. God didn't make you, or any of us, judge and 
jury. Not all who call themselves pastors live by the Bible, and deal 
with selfishness in their lives. We just don't have to contribute to 
their ministries! Maybe you're wiser than they at your young age, but 
God will deal with them in His time and in His way.

Blessings,

Linda
