TV Evangalism???

[kari21]

The only TV evangelists I trust are John Hagee, Perry Stone and Billy Graham.

I don't care for John Hagee and not real sure about Billy Graham but I really enjoy Perry Stone. I might be going to a conference of his next week!

I would so love to see Perry Stone in person!

As for Billy and John...all I know is that whenever I watch them preach, my soul is stirred and I just want to jump up and shout "AMEN!" to the heavens!

He's coming to a church about an hour from me. I don't really want to go alone so why don't you come and go with me.

****Note: I do not want this to turn into an attack on specific ministries but a simple discussion on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of TV evangelism

Whats you thoughts???

I have not read past the first post before I felt like replying, so please bear with me ...

I have feeling on both sides of the street on this one. When I was in the world, it was those on TV during the late hours, as I was high and looking for a way out, that were there with the Word of God that convicted me. But, I do see the millions of dollars that's wasted on huge buildings and the like and wonder how many people would this feed, or how many homeless could have a warm bed, or how many bills for the poor could be paid. Is there really an answer?

Homeless that could have a warm bed? How about 3000 homes in Africa? Built through contributions and the Will of God and the willingness to obey by Joyce Meyers. And that's only one country, as well as here and 5 other countries that I participate in. You know, after you check out the Evangelist of your preferance and you are satisfied in your mind/heart that it is real, just give, give, give because God will reward you for your giving, and not for your distrusting. Just give and don't look back! God knows your heart and your intentions and those who abuse your monies will pay in the end..

I disagree with Television Evangelism due to the fact of the enormous cost to air those kinds of shows. I think that money could have be more effectively spent supporting thousands of missionaries around the world taking the gospel to unreached areas. Second most of those shows are not about evangelism but rather about Christian living, Church doctrine and such. Most if not all are not centered on reaching lost...so if you want to learn about Christian living get your bible out and join a fellowship. Christian TV does not equal fellowship. Why waste millions of dollars, just so you hear your favorite scripture and minister.

TV ministers will be held accountable by God of how they use and spend the money sent in good faith of the gospel. Including non TV ministers who build expensive glorified Church's in the name of God, while millions missionaries remain unsent and unsupported around the world. Most of the church money should be spent on evangelism and spreading of the gospel not rectifying buildings and building fitness rooms. God would much rather have people worshiping out of barns and homes rather then million dollar buildings.

Do you really think God is going to pat them on the back and say nice structured build, I like the gold trimming and tassels, I watched your TV show, I like your tailored suit, while millions of unsent missionaries can't go to the fields nor truly be supported because you have to pay the electric bill or air time. He is going to say depart from me you wicked evil servant, because you were given much but in return you went wasted it on worldly things and not on harvesting souls.

I have no problem for ministers asking and raising money as long as the money is going to reach the lost. I don't see this in TV ministers. Paul requested money often from Churches but I know he used it to support evangelism and building the kingdom of God not his Church building.

The churches should be a training base making disciples to send to the unreached around the corner and around the world and supporting them. This is how you reach the world.

Great after-thought, great intentions. Only problem is some of the evangelists that roam the world, not just on TV know that until man get's his heart and mind on God, most of them will not even begin to consider to donate and contribute to the needy around the world. So many are directed from God to work on man's heart and head first before convincing them to "help others."

Do you think that the many organizations that collect contributions without vast "televangelism" do not need funds to support their cause and efforts as well? They have to employ full time workers as well. Not many are prepared and equipped to traverse the town in sandals as Jesus did, and give up what they have ....a roof over their head, and money to survive; sad but true.

Not all T.V. evangelists are rated equal! Yes some are down right crooks but oh their are many that help and have their heart right. Same as churches! Some are down right crooks to. 50/50 Except most all churches are lukk warm!

That's because MOST all people are as well, my friend?

And it is good to see that "Some" televangelists are on the wrong track, or not following God's word properly" but your comment"I disagree with Television Evangelism due to the fact of the enormous cost to air those kinds of shows. does not state what you have just conveyed to me, in that now you realize that some might be worthy of God's grace and may some may feel that they are being directed by HIM. At least that's not the impression I got originally. But now I can agree in part with you. Remeber, God uses even the lowly and the sinners to get HIS message to you. It's what YOU do with the message from that point!

When you come up with a better more effective way of spreading the word of God I am all ears because the church is so Luke Warm more like dead we would be in real trouble!

No matter what the sets look like, they're going to be criticized. If you had a large ministry, you would be criticized, too. There's no way missionaries can reach the numbers of people that tv does.

The guy that's on TBN that reads from The Word that was an actor - can't remember his name. Anyway, his testimony is that he tuned to TBN to make fun of the show - only that time he was saved - happened years ago.

How much is one soul worth?

I don't think anybody is saying that people can't be saved by any message of the gospel, God's word never returns void, no matter how the message is sent out. The question is how those with the million dollar ministries are are actually living what they preach to others...........

Sometimes we just have to trust God to decide such things even though it looks so sad.

God does not need TV to reach the world:

Act 17:6 And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

In China as we speak millions are coming to Jesus in the underground church, yet they are not allowed to publicly speak about their fatih. Its the same for many parts of Asia but TV is not the media for reaching them. Yet, the word of God is spreading like wild fire.

The key is Network Evangalism.

Maybe not but it is a good tool and guess who owns it yep God he owns everything so I figure if he does he will use it!
