” The sandals were the marks of a free man as slaves did not wear sandals.”

Where did you get this information? It struck me, because those who are Christian ministers are called to be slaves for God. Yet, instead the new attitude is for leaders, especially pastors, to require as many benefits as is possible. The attitude is something to the effect of, “if you want me to serve you well, then you must provide for me plentifully. I don’t work for nothing.”
