Money Matters: Pastors and the seduction of quick money

Published: July 23, 2014, 4 p.m.

b'The church world is abuzz about money. One man, David Lee, claims to have had his ministerial credentials revoked and\\xa0was forcibly removed from The Potter\'s House Church in Dallas because his book " The Sunday Morning Stickup" discussed how tithing isn\'t required under the new covenant through Christ. Also, rapper turned pastor, Mason (Mase)\\xa0Betha has left his ministry to perform rap full-time. In both cases, the underlying issue was money. Why is money such a terrible issue in the church (and the black church in particular)? Should pastors consider full-time or bi-vocational ministry as options to accumulating the wealth they need?
