From Vibe, October 2004:
"In the Atlanta area, Bishop Eddie L. Long (New Birth Missionary Baptist Church) and Mase's pastor, Dr. Creflo A. Dollar (World Changes Church International) helm two of the largest -- and most successful -- African-American congregations in the nation. Dollar, it should come as no surprise, preaches about the power of faith along with the rewards of, well, the dollar. He has a million dollar home, a jet, and other trappings he believes befits a man of God.
"Pastor (Mase Mason) Bethas' S.A.N.E hasn't had the same successes as Dollar's church. Nor does it boast the healthy flock (23,500 strong) of Longs. But that doesn't mean money aint a thing. 'One day he took offerings, and there was like $67 there with 80 people in the church,' recalls Hayes, '(Mase) got mad and made everybody come up to the altar and get their money back. He said he was disgusted that we can spend $4 or $5 on drinks at Justin's, but couldn't afford to give to the Lord."
He's tripping. Can someone please relieve "Reverend" Mase of his ghetto pass?

I know that whole Reverend Hip Hop thing really creeps me out. I can't believe he told everyone to take back their money, and then lectured them about spending more money on their "Henny's" and "'Voisiers" at Justins, than on God. Livin la Vida Loca.
