There is an old joke that the church prays "Lord, you keep the Pastor humble, we will keep him poor." Recently I have seen the issue raised in social media. I would like to remind people what Paul said about paying the Pastor. Read 1 Corinthians 9:1-14, he gives six reasons to pay the Pastor.
1. Because of His Position and Service (9:1-4)
2. Because it is the natural order (9:5)
3. It's God's Law (9:8-10)
4. It is Just (9:11-12)
5. It is common religious practice (9:13)
6. The Lord directed it so (9:14).
