Leaders of all types need to be careful in the days ahead. The fall of Richard Roberts and accusations being leveled at megachurch pastors for overspending and lavish lifestyles are just the tip of the iceberg. The media likes nothing better than to make Christians look bad. Don’t be surprised if Rick Warren and Joel Osteen are the targets of multi-day investigative reporting into their finances.
Anything that will make Christ-followers look bad is fair game. Lesson to be learned here? The next time you fly first class or step into a chartered airplane, realize that the cost of such "luxury" items will eventually come under close scrutiny.
