I know many here disagree with ministers preaching on TV. However, I have two family members that the only "church" they have is via TV.
My uncle passed away yesterday, that was his only way to have church.
My Dad has a hearing problem and breathing problem and he doesn't miss at 3:00 John Hagee.
What do you think?

My in-laws weren't able to travel to church either, but watched religious programs every day. They were oneness folks but attended the AOG church in their town when they were able to get out because the oneness church was too far for them to drive.

TV church has its place - supplement to fellowship with other believers UNLESS you're not physically able to get to "live" church! My aunt says if it wasn't for her TV preachers, she'd never get the "spirited" preaching she hungers for.
We have a whole "congregation" of people who never set foot in our doors, but watch Eddie faithfully every week on TV. I have to believe that God is changing their hearts. Also, we have LOTS of people who are now active members who came because of the TV show. We had two new families this past Sunday who came because of it. Every time we think maybe it's too expensive to keep running it, we get new families. It's amazing, really.

my in-laws watch when too sick to attend church! which is not very often. they love to see him on the screen!!
"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

The church is the first they call for prayer - it takes a pretty serious illness to keep them away! 82 years and 77 years old. More faithful than alot of younger people I know who don't have health issues!

Sis, I almost fell out when I saw this post!
Now this is the way to accomodate a shy preacher.
Keep the people at home, and preach to the cameraman.
Boys and Girls this country is in a lot of trouble.

Well, he does encourage them to come out to church, but you can't force people. Alot of them end up coming, but if they won't come, I'd rather they hear truth on TV than no where!!! And........we do not take money from the TV crowd.
