A South Carolina megachurch pastor is passionately defending his decision to buy his wife a Lamborghini Urus, a luxury SUV that starts at $200,000 .

John Gray , a pastor of Greenvilles Relentless Church, said in a Facebook Live video on Thursday that not a nickel, not a penny from his church went toward the gift, an eighth-anniversary present for his wife and fellow pastor, Aventer Gray.

John Gray said that his heart is pure after presenting the luxury vehicle to his wife during a wedding vow renewal party on Dec. 8. He said he was able to purchase the SUV because of revenue from his book deal, a reality show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, his savings and wise investments.

In a video responding to criticism he has gotten for the extravagant purchase, John Gray tearfully defended his right to buy nice things for his family. He said that as long as what he does is honorable, ethical and not illegal, its nobody elses business how he chooses to express love to his wife.
