He lives in a 13,000 ft2 home on an acre lot in one of the wealthiest and most expensive areas in Houston. He bought the lot and built the house 15 years ago. It's worth $7MM+. Not that there's anything wrong with that.Quote:
I liked Ed Young Sr. From my limited knowledge he lived in nice home (but had bought it a long time ago)

Regardless of the issues with SBC....... (1) What "scholars"? (2) The dude can't even properly spell.
We don't hate journalists enough.

Like I said from my limited knowledge. I thought the place he owned he had for decades.

It is also assumed that both of these men made a lot of wealth from book deals. Now I know that there can be some corruption in books deals, in my opinion, I think it is difficult to "throw stones" at a pastor's wealth when they author a book that is sold globally and hit the NYT bestseller list.

But the stones I throw aren't just about how they amassed their wealth. It's also in the flaunting. Maybe do more to help your church or the needy vs. trying to live a life in keeping up with the richest Houstonians....
Again, maybe I'm just ignorant and these pastors truly need 13,000 sq ft houses in Memorial or 17,000 sq ft houses in River Oaks.

No, it's definitely pretty freakin weird for pastors to live like that. I hope their hearts are in the right place.htxag09 said:I'm just an ignorant common man.....H-town ag said:

Ben is cold blooded.Quote:
On May 26th, 2024, Dr. H. Edwin Young stepped away from his position as Senior Pastor and appointed his son Dr. Benjamin "Ben" Young (hereafter, Pastor Ben) as the new head pastor. Dr. Ed Young told the congregation that he "was not stepping down, he was stepping up" (i.e., he was not leaving the church's covering).
The following day, Pastor Ben told his own father Dr. Young to clean out his office, that he was going to remodel it. He was also told that his ministry would no longer be needed, according to members of the Jeremiah Counsel Corporation.
