BIG Business: CEO/Pastors of some Dothan Churches making $125k to $200k a yr. and Church Gyms 10 times better than public schools. - Disgraceful.

Why don't these CEO/Pastors personally making 12 Thousand Dollars to 18 Thousand Dollars a month with their multi-million dollar Church gyms/buildings -- Open their gyms to the Homeless ..?? Especially when its freezing outside and The Dothan Rescue Mission is full/overflowing .. ? 

Shame on these Churches/Big Businesses/and their CEO Pastors who sit in their 200-300 Thousand Dollar homes with their multi-million dollar Church gyms/bulidings locked up tight on a cold winters night (or any night). And No Room or Heart for the Homeless.

Did Jesus talk about building multi-million dollar Church gyms/buildings or Did he talk about the Poor -- the Least of These .. ? -- Meck
