The world caught onto the fact that just because someone says that something is from God, doesn't mean it is really from God, long before the church. Even those who have reverend before their name do not always speak the whole truth. <br />I long for the time when Ministers will heed Gods Word as stated in Ezekiel 44:22 Where He said that their job is to make plain the difference between the holy and the profane, the unclean and the clean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-43126703486533359102010-08-17T05:38:37.334-07:002010-08-17T05:38:37.334-07:00Thanks Lee,

It's the same performers on every channel with their usual antics manipulating well-intentioned viewers out of hard-earned money (that never makes it to the local church where it could actually help someone in need). What's more pitiful is that we think it honors God. How do you explain such foolishness to an unbeliever who sees it and thinks that it represents the church?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-37626985384769141692010-08-16T11:29:54.707-07:002010-08-16T11:29:54.707-07:00Finally someone has spoken out about these gimmick...Finally someone has spoken out about these gimmicks. A friend of mine from Australia asked how can you guys get away with this kind of stuff. It is interesting that the same preachers show up to do the telethons and say the same thing every year, with little changes.

Call now and get ready to receive what the Buy-Bull calls the double portion. All you do is pay the extra shipping and handling.<br /><br />About the only TV I watch these days is the so-called "news" - where the stories are always the same (only the names change). This affords me the possibility of bringing relevant prayer to the Throne that addresses real and immediate need. Sounds like it may be time to do the same for these folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-48739019382188321232010-08-16T00:53:47.568-07:002010-08-16T00:53:47.568-07:00The emerging leaders are not going into "Chri...The emerging leaders are not going into "Christian Broadcasting" they are going into general market media and having a greater impact on their culture.

I have to take issue on one thing. PBS, I would not, no matter what they offered, support them. I do not care what they promised, I would not buy anything that would support them. PBS supports the teaching of SATAN. They are worse than the rip offs you have written about.Bill Sankeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-66776453208005121502010-08-15T15:15:26.832-07:002010-08-15T15:15:26.832-07:00It's time that the leaders lead and the teache...It's time that the leaders lead and the teachers teach the command and promise of Biblical giving ... tithes, offerings? Such a small percentage of the "Church' gives. With so little regard for Biblical commands and promises by the vast majority of the Church, there is no doubt that as the world affairs intensify many Christians will be counted among those that become offended in God and fall away. Lord, please wake us up!And woe to those that would manipulate and pressure in His name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-3949506966330938622010-08-12T16:06:50.780-07:002010-08-12T16:06:50.780-07:00Still not as bad as the Catholic faith who has you...Still not as bad as the Catholic faith who has you pay in advance for sins you are going to commit.
