Wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove? Sly as a fox?

Whatever we think of him, he as built an incredible following, both at The Potter's House and readers of his books. I am not particularly a fan, but I do respect his accomplishments. He's had a tremendous impact on the local community. I pray that God will guide him and direct him in His paths, and to avoid the failures of many that have such visibility.

I guess that does not impress me much... but I do like his perspective on the Godhead and think we should adopt it.

I tend to agree, I also respect his commitment to serve the community, generally he is a humble man.

But I am always cautious of great personalities, if they fall (and most of us do have missteps here and there) many fall with them, very important for leaders to defer to the Almighty, and avoid personal grandioseness.

Very wise observations., he really is almost "worshipped" for his own self., not necessarily his fault, but his followers., or rather., congregants., and others who look to him as a pastor., he has so far kept his image clean enough, and I do admire the man for his accomplishments and teachings I have learned and been edified by watching his televised services., although I do not agree with him completely in all things.
