Pastor John Gray, who leads his own church in Greenville, South Carolina, and still preaches at Lakewood Church in Houston, is responding to people who criticized him for the lavish anniversary gift he gave to his wife for their eighth wedding anniversary on Dec.11.
In a video captured by R&B singer and actor Tyrese, Gray surprises his wife Aventer with a Lamborghini Urus. According to the Kelley Blue Book, the 2019 luxury SUV starts at $200,000.

"I'm a husband first. Don't confuse what I do with who I am. What I do is I pastor God's people. Who I am is a husband and a father and I'll do anything to honor them. She shouldnt be honored with a car that only cost, say, $100,000?
The criticism probably stems from the fact that the money probably ultimately derived from peoples domations. Theres a video clip of the presentation to her, with a crowd and cameras and crowing about the color of the brake calipers. Seemed rather prideful for a humble pastor.
The wife got indignant on social media and attempted to compare herself to a basketball star, who does not live off of donations.
Oh, well. None of those conmen ever got any of my money.

You have to walk the walk if you preach the prosperity gospel.

Good gosh, is there not one good man left? Does this preacher have any sense of the optics? As many exotics driven by untrained drivers of what a hypercar is capable of, how soon does she prang it biggly and or get hurt? What good could they have done elsewhere with his money? Different faith, but where is the church militant on this?

I saw old man Osteen, John, pull up to a restaurant in a Rolls Royce in the early 80s.

“I’m a husband first. Don’t confuse what I do with who I am.”
...........
IMHO, this guy should be nowhere near any leadership position in a church. At least a Christian Church.

After doing some checking I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. This pastor was one of the black pastors that met and prayed with Trump in the Oval Office. And of course he got savaged for it. That means something to me, so as a very imperfect Christian myself, I’ll hold off on judgment.

The pastor and his wife are clearing in the right 'hood to have the money for a Lambo SUV. She even has tats on her arm for street cred.

Even pastors need christ:

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
