Pastor Rod Parsley's Salary
I have called and asked what income was Paster Rod Parsley making and they would not tell me. When our Lord was on earth, His Word says that he didn't even have a house to live in yet all Rod asks for is our seed faith gifts.
Moderator - I couldn't find the information, however several of the false Prosperity teachers make over $1 million dollars per year and live in multi-million dollar homes.

I hope RT Kendall is reading this and aware that christians are coming out and becoming aware of his deceptions and cruelty to unsuspecting and faithful believers. Glory be to God and His Son Jesus Christ. God cannot be mocked. |

I read Isaiah 56. One thing all unbelievers needs to get a really strong hold on is this>>>God's people has the conviction of the holy spirit. Unless you are prepared to take God's place, you would be most wise to remember this. Unbelievers do not nor never will have the conviction of the person of the holy spirit. NEVER! Remenber, you god is only Satan. |

There's a resounding loud voice in the book of Isaiah which specifically speaks to the so-called spiritual leaders of today who seek nothing but their own pockets and worldly greed. Read Isaiah 56 1-10...it tells us about how they speak to one another about their plot to make themselves rich at the sacrifice of the poor....if you think these leaders dont talk to one another...think again!! Read what the scriptures says about those greedy dogs that cannot bark!!! |

You go Jessica...There are obviously quite a few people on here who have not been taught the message about touching "God's Anointed"???
God has so warned people about this...I attended an assembly one time where the asst.pastor kept calling Benny Hinn Benny Chick...And it wasn't very long until we no longer had a church building.God means business concerning this issue. |

False Prosperity? There are Scriptures concerning Prosperity...I believe that the reason why there are so many "broke Christians" walking around is bec #1. They do not believe in Prosperity...#2. They have not been taught about Prosperity And to prosper financially one has to absolutely sow "Money"...And all the one's that I know who are broke do not tithe "Any Money"...And, This is the reason why the lost think some Christians are a joke.I use to think that way too... |

There is nothing wrong with a person having nice things, as long as they themselves work for what they have and not have them from the expense from others. If a Pastor of a church has expensive things from the expense of the church, he is in the wrong. Any church and the people therein in need should not do without just so the Pastor and his family can live large. The bible says the man shall work by the sweat of their brow, not sit on their butt and let others work for them. |

He lives in a mansion with gates and guards. Why does a man of God need guards? He preaches to his people that GOD needs their money more than their child needs new glasses. He has more cars than a used car lot. He is a false prophet. |

I go to a congregation of about 250 strong. Our Rabbi does not not get paid nor does anyone else in our congregation. Everyone gives of their time and talents as ministry to the L-rd. Our elders and Rabbi are always available when they are needed. Rabbi is a lawyer and his wife works as well. The elders all work secular jobs. It is wonderful to have a congregation such as this. Still, I don't think it is wrong for the pastor receive a salary - especially if that is his full time job. |

---Gophylann on 3/28/08 |
Maybe you need to re-visit the word of God and understand why Jesus did not live in a house. It was not because he was poor! Nor is that what he wants for his people. What is the need for you to know his salary? What"s your motive? That maybe why you did not get the answer you were looking for. |
|
---Jessica_Watson on 3/28/08 |
we all need to get on our hands and knees before the lord and pray , like never before,jesus came and set an example, read it, it's in the bible, pray, and he will show us, he is good, and he is all truth, it's all about him, and we need to remember that, it's not about money, it's about jesus, and lost souls being saved, God doesn't care about our pocket books, he cares about our eternal salvation. |

I don't see a problem with a minister prospering. We are all part of the Kingdom of God and in the the King's kingdom he wants his people to do well. |

How much money is enough for a pastor? How is it spent? Is the pastor greedy? Do they pay their share of tithes and taxes? These items are between the pastor, the IRS, and God....he will judge in the end... |
|
---Fred on 2/7/08 |
Ralph:
When a ministry asks to be funded by people, it should be accountable to those people.
When a ministry asks people to send more and more money because they have growing expenses that need to be met, and meanwhile those same people who have trouble making their own ends meet see a pastor driving a Rolls Royce between his mansion and his summer home, they have a right to ask questions about whether their money is being spent wisely. |
|
---StrongAxe on 2/6/08 |
His salary? No idea.Salary is a sensetive subject when I worked full time as a nurse I refused to answer when asked what mine was.Most people tell only the IRS or their mate.I really don't care what his salary is if he wins souls.I am not a fan of his.I will say the ones I admire are the missionaries who give and give to the poor.No way could I live in a mansion or drive a Lexus with children starving. |

Have any of you ever gone fishing? Well, have you ever cleaned a fish before you caught it? I didn't think so, well neither does God. Let's let God catch the fish and let's let God clean them. My job is to preach and teach, not judge others. |
|
---Preacherdave on 2/5/08 |
Always look at the fruit of a ministry before you call it false or evil. If the fruit is leading people to Christ, feeding the hungry, tending to the widow and orphan then don't be so quick to throw it out as a false ministry. Just because someone is prospering in what they love to do in Christ, why not check yourself and see what your fruit looks like first. This might be a more Christlike way to resolve that evil temptation to kill and assassinate someone's reputation, alright? |
|
---ESOTELO on 1/8/08 |
Chris, why do you want to know? Does anyone ask you how much you earn? Please, leave God's servants alone..they are doing His work while you sit in your pretty seats criticizing the workers..bad luck for you living in poor houses..get out perhaps and do God's work, He may just reward you materially..if your lucky and stop judging and criticising.. |

---Jack_fossett on 11/30/07 |
Ralph you are so correct.People should not busy themselves in how God blesses His own. However, if a preacher is not called by God to preach he is not only stealing money from God, I call it legally stealing they don't put you in jail for it, but also be more concern with the false-hood of it. I mean these preachers are frauds.>>>Too many. |

What business of yours is it anyways what he makes? How much do you make? Is it relevant? |

e it known to u that our lord jesus christ was not poor,for he only became poor for us to be rich,2cor 8:9,note that poverty is is the inheritance of those that fail to hearken to God's voice(the unrighteous),read Deut28:1-14,3john 1:2,your view has proven your level of ungodliness. |

Be carefull with your comment about a man of God so that the wrath of God will not descend upon you,i am a Nigerian, i've listen to his teachings on tv,and it has touch my life possitively.pls be very carefull.and work out your salvation. |
|
---abednego on 10/20/07 |
yep! jesus was wealthy alright. in heavenly rewards. read your scripures! he did not care about the riches of this world. matthew 4:1-10. hey! remember the richman who wanted to follow jesus? matthew 19:21-30. see so jesus was not even interested in the rich mans money. god will take care of our needs. but our prioritys need to be right. |
|
---the_watchman on 10/17/07 |
Everything is on a case-by-case basis. This is to state that some ministers, who are pure, may end up having needs which are expensive. It is highly true, that every one of the TV ministers, such as the man you described, have hearts which are cold to the Gospel. They know nothing of love, and I have evidence of this. However, to have bitterness toward those pure ministers who have good salaries, is just as bad, Friends. God cares for our needs, and if balanced, and received from God, are perfectly fine. |
|
---Daniel on 10/17/07 |

But I guess that doesn't matter as long as they are rewarded with wealth and high living whilst other missionaries suffer poverty and death for the Gospel. I know what I'd much prefer and it wouldn't be the side where you live in riches to be told ''depart I know you not''. I'd rather be a sheep any time than a Goat! |
|
---Carla5754 on 10/17/07 |
Being wealthy and able to live in a nice home is no sin. I know plenty people who work and are able to live this way. Nothing wrong with that. Poverty does not glorify God, in the least. Jesus was not poor, my friend, all of His needs were taken care of. If He needed anything, it was available to Him.We have to learn to interpret the scriptures correctly. |
|
---Robyn on 10/16/07 |
Theses false teachers will"make merchandise" of the sheep according to the Bible and that is exactly what these TV and other very wealthy ones do. Not to mention that their motives are for "selfish gain" as the Bible also speaks of. In my early years of Christianity I volunteered for a Christian TV station in CALIFORNIA, and found the tv personalities very cold off stage.Sharp tongues,quick tempered.:) |
|
---jody on 10/16/07 |
this is what the bible says about what god wants from his pastors. 1 peter 5:2 be shepherds of gods flock that is under your care,serving as overseers not because you must,but because you are willing,as god wants you to be,not greedy for money,but eager to serve. |
|
---the_watchman on 10/16/07 |
"When our Lord was on earth, His Word says that he didn't even have a house to live in yet all Rod asks for is our seed faith gifts."
Jesus had a money bag that never ran out while providing for Himself and those with Him. I am sure even the betrayal money came out of that bag, having been stolen by Judas. Jesus lived by the gospel once He was baptized and the laborer was certainly worthy of His wages. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
The bag He put His wages in was not a bag with holes. There were women who ministered of their finances to Him. I am certainly sure that if Jesus had wanted a house of His own, He could have built Himself one or bought one. Why didn't He? Too much temptation to become comfortable in it and neglect the building of God's house? |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
Any time you invest in something, that investment speaks to you until you get back out of it what you put into it. Jesus invested in people and His investment returns in the form of a habitation for His Father. See, His lack of a physical house had nothing to do with being poor. It had to do with purpose. He was looking after His Father's house. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
To bring that into every day terms: Those who are preaching the gospel live by the gospel. If you invest in people's lives, there is a return on the investment. If spiritual things are sown, it is no great thing if carnal things are reaped. If their million dollar houses cause them to just sit idly by and neglect the building of God's house, then their focus is way off. However, I don't see this problem with the majority of the ministers who have their clocks cleaned here on an almost daily basis. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
If you really want to get down to it, they are probably doing far more to build the house than the people talking about them and tearing them down in the eyes of believers and unbelievers alike. God has given us the authority to edify the body, not tear it down. You don't see them here wasting time arguing over it, do you? |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
What are YOUR financial assets? Do YOU have a financial statement you can show all of us? The bottom line is that we are all stewards of God's time, talent, and treasure. We are all kings and priests and all of us are in some kind of public ministry, whether in our families, on our jobs, or just driving down the road. Being on TV does not make one more accountable to God than the one sitting in his home with his children. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
In the parable of the talents, there is no accountability between the stewards but there is accountability to the one who distributed the talents. So, how are you handling what God has given YOU? If you are spending much time analyzing the financial business of another steward, then you cannot be using what God gave you to its maximum benefit. It is a waste of the time He gave you to try to keep an account only God can keep. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
Want another example? Judas. Jesus entrusted him with the money bag. The whole time he is stealing out of it but Jesus doesn't tell any of the other disciples. It wasn't any of their business because it wasn't their account. It was Jesus' and it never affected the provision. That bag never went dry though it was being stolen out of. Unless your own stewardship is equal to that, I wouldn't be talking. |
|
---Linda on 10/15/07 |
have you found out yet what Rod Parsley's financial assets are? Does he even have a financial statement. It is a shame that many christian evangelists are becoming wealthy because of government aided tax exemption. Jesus told us not to worry about purse or scrip, but today we have Prophets of Prosperity instead of Prophets of the Prophet from Nazareth |

To whoever used my name I have this to say.

what business is it of yours to call and ask? U even have the audacity to do such? It is not for us to judge but God alone. Bless him if he is getting high wage. Coveting dont serve u well friend..best to leave to God and ensure instead that your salvation is firm in Christ... |

I am willing to bet you that all of these false teachers who are on TV. Don't even know all of the members of their congregation, but they know what a quarter is than $10,$20,$100.00 is! |

Chris, what busines is it of yours to even have the audacity to call and ask how much so n so gets?It is God's business to deal with this not ours..If this pastor is paid well, good on him..dont covet brother..Pastors dont deal with money did u know that? Head office do that. Let us do better, ensure that our salvation is sure in Christ..Leave this to God Himself..ASK said the Lord, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN..this pastor did, and was blessed..why dont u ask God too? |

*The unsaved live like queens and kings, why can't God people do so?*
The unsaved also murder,cheat,lie so why can't we right? What did Jesus say after he told the rich man he must give away all his riches?
Matthew 19:23-24
23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom.. |

Robyn>>> You and I are correct. God LOVES to bless His people. Like you, I want to be blessed. Put God first and He will give us the moon. |
|
---catherine on 6/7/07 |
Catherine is beginning to catch on! That's right. God can and will prosper His people. Why not? The unsaved live like queens and kings, why can't God people do so? God said in His Word (bible)the riches of the wicked are stored up for the righteous. I don't know about you but I want mine. Now! In the name of Jesus. You all had better come out of those dead churches and learn the truth. Dont get mad at me if I want to be blessed. Its according to your faith. I believe! |
|
---Robyn on 6/7/07 |
Ashley is right..
|
|
---duane on 6/7/07 |
We all need to be careful. If unbelievers can have money why not God's people. Not all famous preachers that are rich are false. |
|
---catherine on 6/6/07 |
When the offering basket/plate is passed. You do not have to give. That is between you and God. No one else. I was taught to just place the hand in the plate or basket when passed and God will bless that if you really don't have an offering. This means you desire to give but does not have it. You have to be truthful. God already knows what we are able to do and what we have. |
|
---Robyn on 6/6/07 |
If you dont want to give...don't! No one can force you to do something you do not want to do. God does not even do that! So why are you worried about Rev Parsley asking for a seed gift? Just say No! You do have the choice. Turn the channel. Walk out of the room. Cut the tv off. Leave the church, if you are there at World Harvest. Get it now. Use your God given, Holy Ghost power. |
|
---Robyn on 6/6/07 |
Gee, and I was under the impression from reading the bible, that we teach the gospel from the pulpit because we love Jesus Christ with all our hearts and not for filthy lucre as stated bluntly in many places in the bible. I have spent thousands of hours preparing sermons for Sunday services and not received a dime for it. Wow, shocker, Jesus said don't do things on earth for money, or you have your reward, but rather do them because you love me and you store blessings in heaven that cannot be numbered. |
|
---ashley on 6/6/07 |
Our minister asked that I substitute for him one Wednesday evening. I put in about 8 hours of study time preparing for the message, on a topic I was already familiar with. That really put things in perspective for me - I've walked one step in those shoes, enough to know that our Pastor is vastly underpaid. I suspect that most are. |
|
---Tom on 6/5/07 |
Towanna: You pastor is on duty 24 hrs, fast and pray for you and your church, one sermon is a days worth of work. All that sounds good but is it true?. I wish I knew where these type preacher/pastors were. I would join one their churches,for sure. I don't know of One preacher who is on duty 24 hrs a day. Working on a job or doing kingdom work. I have never had a pastor say he prays for his followers. My pastor is a great preacher. I love his sermons but he barely knows me.Where is the love? |
|
---Robyn on 6/5/07 |
As long as the poor are with us, no Christian should have or want of more than he needs.
There is no love if we have riches and our brother is in need of food or clothes.
We are to love our fellow man. |
|
---duane on 6/5/07 |
It is not for you to question what another person makes, and God does not disfavor those who are wealthy simply because they are wealthy. If they have made the money they have doing honest work, then I feel they are receiving the blessings of God. If they are dishonest, then God will take care of that Himself. Do not judge, do not begrudge others the prosperity God has promised believers, do not jump to conclusions. Look at all people through Christ's loving eyes. |
|
---June on 6/5/07 |
I am sure Paul mentions that ministers do get paid but he chose not to get monetary gain for the gospel his example was to wait for his crown and I am sure when Christ comes to avenge his death he will have a reward to have waited and died for! |
|
---Carla5754 on 5/22/07 |
(Cont): Some believers are nothing but beggars. They only seek God for material things and not His heart and Will. Not good but they do it. Many live well, like Rev Parsley, TD Jakes,Meyers because they are smart christians who know how to play on the mind and emotions of others, also. They also Ask(us) for what they want. You follow me. Therefore, they what? They receive(usually money) from their church,tv, radio, books. You name it. These are just my thoughts. |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
(cont) Bottom line: Don't be persuaded to do anything you do not feel led to do. Regardless of where the begging/asking come from. God gave me an understanding on this issue, a few years ago. I was also being victimized by this tactic. No more. I was a giver and felt I always had to be giving. I think before I open my pocketbook now. I support other ministries as well as my church. I love to give. But I give when the spirit moves me not because some slick talker needs my money. |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
Conclusion: Rev Parsley does a lot of good for the Kingdom. As far as I know. He likes the political ring,also. I believe he is a true man of God. God will prosper you when you put His business first. Not just money-wise.I do not know if you all know this. Seems as though,Rev Parsley has an aura around him. He spends much time in prayer and fasting and it shows on his outer man.To me. He loves God with all of his heart soul and mind. We all should be striving to get to that place in God as well. |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
Mima: I too do a lot of Outreach christian work. If I am offered money. I will take it. Why? God's blessings come to us many different ways. I recognize gifts when I see them. I will not turn money away. I use the money to further the Kingdom of God. Can you imagine how many socks I can buy for the homeless,dolls for poor kids and so forth. Don't lose your blessings through being unlearned and untaught. The wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
Pkay and several other bloggers on this issue: I have to totally agree with your comment. I feel ,beloved, you were way out of line in asking about Rev Parsley's income. Wow! I want to say so much on this.His income is none of your or our business. Period. God tells us explicitly to stay busy and find thing for our hands to do and we will not be labeled as busy bodies. You don't have enough to do. Sorry, but you are a busybody. And what nerve! |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
Sorry bloggers but I must say a little more.
Jesus was not poor. He also did not have to die on that cross. Did you know that my friend? Jesus' Father (our Heavenly Father, as well) owns everything in this world. Gold, silver, everything! This is why he wants us to live as well, as we can. Again, the prosperity gospel evolved from this belief. My God has everything I need.Cars, land, jewels, home...everything. He tells us, in His word, to Ask for what we need. That is no crime to do that. (cont) |
|
---Robyn on 5/21/07 |
Men who preach the word of God for money are not only hypocrites in every sense of the word, but they are also living in direct defiance of the bible. It states clearly in many places not to preach for filthy lucre, but for love of the Savior. It is sad to see many people deceived and taught false doctrines because many men and women love greed, power and fame more than Jesus Christ. |
|
---ashley on 5/21/07 |
Lisa you're blog about Ron Parsley is very frank, in fact too frank for the average ear. Here is the awesome truth even Ron Parsley is doing good in some areas. Is he a charlatan, a merchandiser of the people, yes I believe he is and I also believe he is doing some good how paradoxical! |
|
---Mima on 5/21/07 |
Has anyone on here ever attended World Harvest? I have a couple times, my husband was completely turned off because before we could even sit down they were passing the collection plate around. Then again...and again. 3X is a bit much!!! I do not think he is true in heart. But I do like Joyce Myers!!!!!! |

It is not YOUR business to know, it just stirs up strife. Leave the man to God, if he uses one pence or one cent without reason he will answer to God not man. |
|
---Carla5754 on 5/6/07 |
There are men & women of God who really gave up everything for the sake of the Kngdom in obedience and trust in the Lord.
Jesus told that such servants will get 100 folds in this earth & eternal glory in His kingdom.
As far as they are laboring for the Kingdom let only gracious words that builds them up and encourages them to be more zealous to their cause come out of us.
Pointing on them does not profit either us or millions being impacted by their ministries around the globe. |
|
---Ephre3798 on 5/6/07 |
Pastors salaries are detrmined by a board of directors. If they choose to pay their pastor 10 million a year or 100 dollars, it's none of our business. They must think he's worth it or else the wouldn't pay him that much. If he's rich then he's like Job, Abraham, David, Solomon, and many more. It's what he does with his money, not how much he makes, that makes the real difference. |

Put your money in your own church instead of sending it to these preacher on TV |

Everybody is a fake! Believers even has trouble sometimes detecting the fakes. Sinse only about 10% on these here blogs truly belongs to God, you really do not know the fakes from the real. I have another idea! Why don't you give all of us here on the blogs your reasons for calling someone a fake. If you make a mistake now and he or she really belongs to God, watch out for God, because you in trouble. Ofcourse, chances are you are an unbeliever in which case you are not worried anyhow. |
