Re: Prison Awaits Faithful Christians

Whoa there brother AB. Who pushed yo button?

Show us where any of us screamed and threw rocks at Joel Osteen? I simply asked a question, someone answered it for me and I read on wiki where he preached only once before he took pastorate of a very large church. What does the Bible say about Novices?
And WHO said anything about TD Jakes?

You are correct in I don't know anything about these preachers. I already said so. I also don't know for a fact that any of the preachers you spoke about are feeding the hungry and helping the poor. High profile megachurch pastors ARE under the limelight whether you like it or not. They are going to show to the people only what they want the people to see. It's just that way. They put themselves in that position when they started televising their services. People are going to have opinions about megachurch preachers whether you or I like it or not.


Why in the world in a country that has a church on almost every corner and tucked way into the woods in the country likewise, do we have to have high profile television preachers to feed the hungry? The local church is responsible for feeding local children, disabled adults, widows and elderly, but many of them do not do it. I do not know of a single UPC church in my entire region that actually has a benevolent fund in place for those. Instead, I heard it once preached that if a widow so much as has a nephew, let not the church be charged. (in taking care of her). We got too many welfare recipients sitting in the pews.

I am not UPCI. I left 20 years ago and studied the Bible leaning heavily on the Holy Ghost for understanding. I know when something is right or isn't right. So...be sure to get a smaller brush before you start painting everybody as an holier-than-thou UPC looking for fault in someone who is not like them. I've took many hits myself from UPC and believe me, I probably know as much Bible as you do and my husband knows a whole lot more than you do on your best day.
