Reformed Guy said:It's a legit tweet.
There's things regarding Kidd that I've contemplated posting for some time. Maybe sometime I will. For now it will suffice to say that he is now Pastor of a church in my area- a church with which I have a special connection- a church whose former pastor I have known my entire life and for whom I have great respect and affection- even if I have strong disagreement.
It's a story that deeply saddens me.
edit-- After I posted I looked at Kidd's twitter feed and the link above appears somewhat embellished. I don't know what may have been originally posted and later altered/deleted, but if the SFL folks have embellished the tweet that is shameful. I say this with neither high regard for SFL or Phil Kidd.

Some try to live like Kings and preach like paupers. I know a guy right now that was pulling down over 100,000 a year and preaching on tithing every chance he got. He even received a percentage of the love offering instead of a base salary. Talk about a conflict of interest.

And the car, well it wasn't really new. It was from his wife's investments or something like that. So the car was either new or it wasn't. Take your pick. He lied, either which way.
When you can't take the heat from your story, make up details.

Clearly comparable to a pastor who drives a new Jag and carries $400 ink pens.

Read what I write rather than respond to what you wish I had written.

When I lived in NW Indiana, the pastor of the big charismatic church in Munster was the same way. He lived in a gated community in one of the larger homes (my friend was his yard caretaker). His wife drove a 100K car and he drove another but when he went to church, he drove a third family car, a beat-up clunker.
