I think the key here is submission.
Men are not by nature submissive creatures. They like to read the passage about wives submitting to their husbands and as soon as they get to the part about husbands submit yourselves to Jesus Christ their humaness tends to do the mule move of stopping and dragging their feet into the ground.
The poor find it easier to submit to GOds control than the rich who see no earthly need to submit to their creator. If riches would make me forget my creator, please Lord keep me under that threshold of financial success.
The only ministers that I know of that are financially "rich" are television preachers. They are mostly a breed unto themselves and God addresses their hearts in the bible. They have their reward here on earth. I will wait for my reward to be given when it was and is promised.

I don't know what church you go to, but no not all churches have more men thatn women. And no the pastor isn't always "richer" than the members. Sometimes it's the other way around.

Our church is mostly families, so there are about as many men as women, There will always be poor people(words of Jesus), our pastors are not the wealthiest members.
It seems, though, you're just looking for reasons too not like church.

JESUS our LOrd is no ordinary man. He had no sin or any crimes on his life. He had seen and changed this Earth from great destruction!
Why Christ so popular? He has shown every man and woman the way, the truth and the real faith upon this World. Without Jesus our Lord, every one of us will have 0% on Heaven.
1.Jesus died in a cross. NAiled on both hand and whiped more than 10 times. He was rejected, cursed, tortured and been in million times worst than what you have gone through.
2. He was an innocent man who had no blame among the people.
3. He was the Lamb of God. He was the Son of GOd who created this World.
4. Why believe in him? Becuase what he has done for you. Believe in him, you will see miracles every day in your life. He will open your heart to see the glorius kingdom that he promised you. Plus, you will get a protection against evil and true hardship that you face such as bills,debt,economic problems in you family
5. Are you missing out? Oh yea! you are. Christians are seeing what no others can see.
They have this spiritual eyes that let them see the kingdom of God. They also see the lake of fire which is the Hell.
6. What is the Trinity? Trinity is the three forms of God. The Father,The son and the Holy Spirit.
They work through you so God can get his work done. God has no mistakes and errors through out his work.
7.What is God doing right now? He is working hard to get one man saved. Thats why you, yea you! should be saved. Saved as from sins.
Sins effect the relationship with God. God is seeing awful lot of things that makes him sad right now such as hatred,wars,new age,metalic music,languages,actions and behaviors,interactuions between people.
8. Why do we pray??? Well, Praying is like a phone call to God. We can either give him thanks, askings, and forgiveness.
Ask him something he will give the answer. He listens to every souls out there. Also dont forget to repent! It is really important~
9. What gave us the Chance to go to Heaven?
Thats easy. Its Lord Jesus Christ. Belive in him he will give to 100% chance to go to Heaven.
He is like the ticket to Heaven. There is more than going to Church. You must feel the Holy Spirit working within you.
10. Whats it like in Heaven? Way beyond what this World has. The road is paved in pure gold. There are no sun instead the most Holy God who created us, gives out the light. No pain, worries, debt, bills. Christians gets to have homes like a mansion, Castles or even whole country if you serve God well while living in this World. Thats why ministers are lucky, lol. They get to have good homes in Heaven. And Homes are made out of Crystals, Gold, Diamond. But not all ministers get things like that. The Right ones do. WHat i mean is they have good relationship with Jesus.
11. HELL! BOOM! A perminant prison. And guess what? Satan is there too, sufering like a what you will imagine when your in phisical pain.
And Satan is not the King of the Hell. He is the Victim. He is there right now sufering but his soldiers are doing his work. Hell.. well. you can guess what it looks like. Burning fire. *(The fire is not burning substance in HELL) there are snakes, worms, wierd beasts, ghosts, dark, damp, scarier than anything in here. If you need to see HELL, well imagine or draw a picture,,,lol
12.Believe, do not see.
You might believe in what your reading right now..lol but these words are from Lord Jesus`s Preaching. It might not be accurate but its the point. People always believe in what they see.
For once! believe in what you cannot see.
THe Holy Spirits will be upon you.
Believe in Lord Jesus Christ our Savior! He will grant you new life...^^
And I think Ministers and Pastors are rich in Spirit and Faith.. Is that you wanted>??
