There is considerable discussion about pastors and church leaders allegedly selling out for money, power, and security. The truth is that it does happen, and how much certain leaders are or aren't doing that isn't my contention here, but to point out that it has been happening for a long time.
In Judges 17, Micah (not the prophet) believed that his idol was going to help him receive God's blessings. When he finds a Levite traveling by, he entices the Levite with money, power, and security. This Levite should have known that what he was being asked to do was wrong, but did it anyway. There was an opportunity for the Levite to correct Micah's wrong behavior, but he didn't. What a sad state we find God's people in the people are doing wrong and the spiritual leaders aren't offering correction.
