That is for the board of the organization to decide. I look at the percent of money going to the stated objective and choose to which organization I will give.

I am not going to judge individuals. I guarantee you Franklin's compensation from Samaritins Purse is far less percentage of gross ministry income than is the salary of 99.something% of pastors.

...makes $880,000 a year...
Is that an excessive amount?

When I see that number my first reaction is that it seems excessive. I would ultimately want more information before making an assessment -- for example, does he lavish that on himself or use it for good (which includes using it wisely for himself and his family).

And how big is the budget he is the steward of? Is he being compensated at the same as executives with of the same size organization?

CEOs of every charity I am aware are paid too much. The single exception is the Salvation Army.

Why do you feel they are paid too much? Do you classify your church as a charity?

Too much for one to give.....Too much for one to receive....

What in scripture dictates it is an other's business how much one receives or how much one gives?

So, "Is that an excessive amount"? Apparently not to Franklin Graham or God; and God and Franklin are the only ones whose opinion matters, regarding what Franklin receives.

Matt 20
[15] Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?

Happy, I am in general agreement with that principle. "To his own master he standeth or falleth." But when a charity runs on donations, doesn't that make how they spend their money some of the business of those who contribute?

I do not.

When I am giving to a charity, I expect all who are contributing their time to be compensated in the manner they see fit.

If the charity does not fulfill its intended point, I would see no need to continue paying a "board" (overseers and time contributors) if the charity itself was a fail.

I think both Billy and Franklin Graham have proved exceptional management skills in successful charity endeavors. What they dole out to those and themselves to keep a charity in operation is of no concern to me.

Sure, if they get paid more than I.
