Free Good News
I just added another blog to my “blogroll” section on the right hand side. The website is called Free Good News. I’ve read some of author’s (Bernie Dehler) articles before on his website, and would have loved to add him before, but i didn’t realize until today that he published his articles in a blog format.
He writes about many of the same issues in the church that this website is concerned about. The main thing is he is a voice against the tithing mandate as well. What brought his website to my attention today was an article that he had posted, “2008 Salary Review of the Top 20 Christian Ministries“. He posted a list of some financial figures. Go to his website to find out the details but here is a screenshot summary of the finances.
So what are your thoughts on the numbers here? My first reaction is that’s a lot of money, i wonder where it goes? By the way does anyone know of any other Christian, financial/stewardship blogs out there?

Thanks for posting the link to my article. What should a Christian CEO be paid?
I spoke to the President of ECFA (Ken Behr). They have compensation information,
so you can see if someone is paid in the top quartile, or is paid way over
the 100% quartile. About $200K is the top 100% limit… so anything over that,
according to ECFA, is too much. Their compensation info is here:

Supposedly, they will deal with some CEO exec. who is a member of ECFA and is
getting paid too much. I intend to bring this to their attention and see if they
will really do anything. Two on the list (that I know of already) are “The
Bible Answer Man” and “Luis Palau Evangelistic Association.”
