I'm not a big fan of listening to televangelists, but the best thing to do if you are wanting to know who Jesus is and what Christianity is all about.  Is to read the first four books of the new testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  Those books are known as the gospel, which means "good news".  If you don't have a bible; there are online bibles available. biblegateway.com has an audio feature if it is easier for you to listen over reading.  biblehub.com is another good source for online bibles.

Instead of searching for televangelists -- look for GREAT churches and watch STREAM their services and sermons.  :)  This is a much better way of finding GREAT content and messages to watch at home.

I  am conflicted on this issue, for I know just how awful many TV personalities are at presenting the Bible. Yet God used most every one of them to the good for me personally, in that it was by challenging  a tv evangelist silly presentation that I started reading the Gideon Bible at the Hotel room I was remodeling. Next thing I knew I was reading all of the Book of Job, was soon challenged by  what I must conclude was an angel to turn about now, and I did. It was by none of my doing, nor was it by the tv presentation directly. Except that  a tv peronality did make a call to repentance of sorts and I said, if that is true I want it.

 All that said I have spent many enjoyable hours watching and studying the approach to faith by God's angry man Pastor Eugene Scott,  have listened to Rev. Frederick Price, even watched the absolutely unbelievable Tammy and Jimmy Bakker. The rest I just couldn't handle found them neither informative nor fun, instead just  predators on the hurting the lonely and the poor. Except for  Rev. Robert Schuller, as he targeted the wealthier  patrons for sure. My own all time favorite presentation  on tv has been  Zola Levitt presents.

God has used tv in my life He has also led me to churches to participate and even gain employment at one. God will do what God wills. He can and will use the worst of things, and make it serve good for those that will come to believe on Him.

If Billy Graham were 20 years old today how might God use him?  What communication vehicles would He set to serve as tools for his servant's work?

In person church attendence is the very best way to serve and be served, for tv evangelists don't tend to come to one's home with hot food when one is sick.

I prefer Dr. Charles Stanley on In Touch.  Billy Graham, Greg Laurie, Kay Arthur and Joni are OK.   I don't watch any TV televangelists or teacher on a regular basis, nor do I send financial support to those who beg for money as I find that unscriptural.

I learned more more from Gene Scott and Zola Levitt  than I did anybody else —- by FAR!  Boy, do I miss both of them. Les Feldick is fantastic, but I don’t know how available he is on television.There are many great places available on the internet and you tube....Renee Roland,Truth Time Radio and Grace Community Bible Church are the best I have ever found.....check them out and enjoy...

I am not a great fan of any televangelists.. Why get the Word of God second hand if you can go right to the scriptures yourself.. :)  Yeah i will sometimes check out a utube video of this guy or that.. But i never get dependent or addicted to them..  That's dangerous..

Inspired teachers are one of the gifts of God......Wiser men than me have brought out things in the Bible that I would never have known......the church gave me a brain full of mush.....I thank God He guided me to teachers that were “ God Called” as opposed to self - called

If you are not disabled/homebound and have adequate transporation, make sure you are plugged into a local church that preaches sound doctrine and that you are getting spiritual nourishment and fellowship there. 

Otherwise, you have to be really discerning because so many televangelists are corrupt and teach false doctrines.   Some to stay away from are Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen, TD Jakes,  and pretty much anyone from the Word of Faith/Charistmatic circles. 

Good preachers to listen to who will not lead you astray are Adrian Rogers (Love Worth Finding"  broadcast), Charles Stanley (In Touch" broadcast), Robert Jeffress (Pathway To Victory broadcast).   Those are some good solid teachers that show up on both TBN and DayStar and they will always deliver solid messages that will feed you, spiritually.

Go to youtube and watch the video by Genesis called "Jesus he knows me" to get a feel for the whole thing. One of my favorites. Phil Collins discusses that video/song in one of the interviews I've seen. He's not saying it applies to them all, but still...

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
