Subscribe RSSPaying God’s Bills
The Arlington Advocate ran a story about a car that was set on fire in October. Run-of-the-mill crime story, right? Then you find out that the car was a 2006 Mercedes AMG S165 (V12 engine with 604 horesepower). Then you find out that it’s a rare car valued at $200,000.
Then you find out that the car is being leased by Gerson Silva, the pastor of Asambleia de Deus Renovada, a 130-member Baptist congregation. It’s not a run-of-the-mill crime story any more.
If I were a member of the congregation, I’d be asking some pretty sharp questions about why my donations were paying for a high-end Mercedes. I’d also be reeeaaaally curious how my minister managed to make someone angry enough to inspire arson.
I’m glad I’m not the one paying God’s bills.
