Jill & Michael… I have a copy of the Tilton video somewhere, but have long since been using mpg files for my own private flatulence enjoyment. Yes, I admit to screening this video to small numbers of collegians about twice a year…

Getting spots on Larry King AND The View? One thing I would NOT call Osteen is “complacent.” He is a force to be reckoned with, and his charisma is an active weapon for his cause. Too bad that cause is mere selfishness disguised in the veneer of moral duty. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him wind up with his precursors one of these days…you know, the two Jims (Bakker and Swaggert, that is…at least Jones had “real” conviction).

What’s that smell?

I read Jeff’s post and was reminded of Robert Tilton telling everyone how if they pray and send him money they will get everything they want from God. My youth pastor from West Memphis (Lance Cypert if anyone knows him) have the original VHS of this vi

our sunday school teacher talks about this frequently – especially stuff about Joel. Even moreso, how Americans are flocking to this type of “preaching” – more like motivational speaking – and are receiving basically nothing. Oh, by the way, he did the same thing on the View I hear. It’s actually quite scary to see Christians become complacent and politically correct

I was ‘unfortunate’ enough to watch the actual Larry King show when Olsten made these remarks. I still remember the sinking feeling I had when he could not give a concise answer concerning salvation. My heart goes out to the many thousands of people who, through this type of teaching…really doesn’t understand what true salvation means and what that does for eternity. The realm of christianity is so much larger than just a ‘warm fuzzy’ existance, here on earth.

One name comes to mind when I think of “be wealthy” preachers and thats Robert Tilton. I thought he was long gone but late one night I saw him on an infomercial hocking a book and a kleenex. Have people not caught on after all these years? I was inspired to post a famous Tilton clip on my blog. Stop by if you need a good dose of potty humor. (everyone does)

I have noticed a trend with these TV Preachers. Most are more concerned about how you can use faith to gain earthly wealth. Take for example the name of Joel Osteen’s best selling book “Your best life now”. I am not looking for my best life right now, I’m laying up treasures in Heaven. God knows my needs and if I’m faithful to him with the faith he gives me, then I will be taken care of. Thanks for the link to the Larry King transcript, I’ll have to take a look at it when I get some time.
