Where is the Revival we have been waiting for?

Which is fine but that is the pulpit message in today's churches.

You get what you preach.

Try and balance more than my check book.

Balance the pulpit with some real message revelations...

It takes guts today to preach on values over money...

I wish every wannabe mega minister would stop watching TBN and taking notes on Sunday morning.

All we hear in our churches today is Franklin, Jakes and Copeland.

Be your own man for God and give us a fresh word....

The mission statement of the church can have prosperity and success in our message.

It should not be our mission statement.

While I do watch the ministers you have mentioned and I like them, I follow what you are saying. There is nothing wrong with prosperity sermons, but like you were talking about it should not be the ONLY thing that we preach. I think that the OP as a whole preach some sort of prosperity. It seems that often the pastor is the most prosperious ones. Nothing wrong with a minister having great things. But we keep our focus on having to change diapers of the saints that are acting like babies. Too many excuses.

I hate it when there is something great going on in the spirit world like the FL revival and our first reaction is to discount it cause it ain't us. Horrible.
