Pulpit pimpery in Baltimore (Updated)

Question: If your church is looking at foreclosure on their building because of a $12,000 water bill, what would be the best course of action? In my opinion, the church should get the money together to pay their bills and keep their building. Not so among the "churches" that are pastored by pimps. Take First Mount Olive Free Will Baptist Church in Baltimore.

Long story short, they lost their building in a fire. But, at light of day, some issues surfaced that SHOULD cause true Christians to wonder whether this church was seeking to be an example of the true Christ, or if they were just concerned with keeping up appearances. You see, that $12,000 water bill? They couldn't pay it because they were short on fundraising they had just...bought their pastor a Bentley. A $150,000 BENTLEY!! No, I'm not kidding. Thank you, prosperity gospel!! Independent Conservative says:

Well how were they going to help the poor while rolling in all their created debt? This is why churches need to carefully consider when they desire to own things. And this church learned the hard way, that you probably don’t want a building with a big steeple that might catch a bolt of lightening. The church should go modest on the buildings if owning any at all, so funds can be devoted to the needs of the poor. You know, those people Jesus told us to help in Matthew 25:31-46. The apostles always ensured poor saints were cared for first and foremost via the church donations, 2 Corinthians 9, 1 Corinthians 16:1-4, James 2:14-17. Many a pastor loves to proclaim “God loves a cheerful giver”, only they don’t mention that Paul was writing in that passage of scripture about money being collected to be given to poor saints, not money collected for a building or the pastors Bently. The apostles did not ride fancy chariots, they were often broke and homeless.

1 Corinthians 4:11 (New King James Version)
11) To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.

They forsook themselves for the care of the saints. They realized helping the poor is what Christ desired, not helping build their own wealth. Today, many ignore the example of the apostles and wish to live like King Solomon. With pastors that have followers who can’t properly discern old from new covenant, they keep collecting and building their religious industry empires, while their members literally cheer them on.

Now, since Jesus and His followers rolled through Galilee in a Hummer, wore designer clothes, and lived in mansions, we should follow His example! This is just one example of the poison that is the "prosperity gospel". It diverts money from those who truly need it to those who want to use it simply so they can live a comfortable lifestyle. To them I say, "Anathema!!"

UPDATE: Independent Conservative has a post about the pastor, Oscar E. Brown, who apologizes profusely for the way in which the church's funds were so badly mismanaged, and if he has to, he'll give back the Bentley, repent on live TV nationwide, and resign his pulpit.

Nah, just kidding. Brown doesn't think he did anything wrong.
