How can the message be right when................... How can the message be right when the integrity is off and a ministry is under scrutiny for money taken in and what was done with it? I keep getting these emails regarding petitions to stop televangelism from being scrutinized and taken off of the air. Right now it is in the form of misappropriated funds and lack of disclosures. In real business when there are investors involved, the businesses show reports to the investors so that they can see how their money is being used. The way that these people ask for money on TV should require them to be fiscally Representative of these funds that they take in. If they are on the up and up, then they should have nothing to hide. But hide they do. The ones who do hide, eventually are proven to be people misappropriating funds. They do it in many ways but it usually involves paying big amounts to family members. It happens all the time. It is a shame. Richard Roberts stepped down because of misappropriation of funds at ORU. John Haggee is in trouble and under investigation because of the same thing. Kenneth Copeland has numerous infractions and is being sued by a private citizen he was in business with that claims he ran off with millions regarding a housing development they were building. The government is after Copeland as well. The list goes on and on. Believe it or not, most of the money taken in is from people who are desperate and have little. They need a miracle, so they believe that God will bless them if they give. We as believers are under God's blessing in our covenant with him. He provides all of our needs in his riches and Glory in Christ Jesus. There are very few of these people that do not live in million dollar homes. Some in multi-million dollar homes. I can not name one millionaire of those who preached the true Gospel of Christ in the scriptures. If a person makes tons of money in the business world, then my statement is that is wonderful. But when you make millions off of needy people; supposedly sharing the Gospel of Jesus, which is our great commission to begin with, then I do have a huge problem with that. |
