Pastors, in my opinion, tend to be the most influential people in the society. They lead a massive congregation and most people follow what they teach or rather tell them. In Kenya, we have encountered a lot of scandals concerning pastors, from sex scandals to theft and being materialistic.
When I was young, I remember most of the teachings were about helping out the needy (neighbor), loving them and visiting the sick and the people in prison and so on. I grew up knowing having a good heart and doing good will get me to heaven.
