It really depends. If their livelihood depends on this as ministry then they are entitled to be paid. Why? Because they don't hold any other jobs.
Note down this verse, Tina. Remember it when sadtosee (Sadducees) people try to hoodwink you with holier than God attitude.
1 Corinthians 9:14 - In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel
should receive their living from the gospel.As for the profit, it is
needed to ensure continuity, God knows we are living in this age and time, He is not blind.
If profit is for the entire organization as a whole, I'm okay with that. A lot of people don't know that Hillsong is not just concert ministry, they have Hillsong College.

Some hypocrites with pharisaical spirit will tell you worldliness is how things look, the loud sounds (lol, some

quoted Hillsong) or how you look, you dress,
your thick makeup (lol), hair style.
That is not what the Bible says.
1 John 2: (ESV) - 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life c—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
What is worldly is derived from 3 things
1. Lust of the Flesh (Acts that's displeasing to God, like Sexual lust, Rage, Jealousy, etc)
2. Lust of the Eye (to
covet something to the point, you elevate it above God, KK's case for example)
3. Pride of Life (Arrogant Boasting, etc)
And do you want God's diagnosis, why people love the world? It is not what you think or what most people think it is.
Here is the answer, (ESV) translation in verse 15 have it quite accurate:
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.It means that, the reason why they love the world is because they don't understand or have the revelation of the Father's Love in their Life. If they understand how much the Father loves them, the power of Jesus's Grace can come in to change their life.
It's not because they don't love the Father as some translation have it.
Bold part reminded me of my teenage years.
I used to have Lust of flesh and eye too. But not anymore.
Pride of life? People tend to say that I'm a boastful person. Maybe because I'm confident.
