“His 30-year-old son, associate pastor Matt Hagee, will take over church operations until the elder minister returns.”

Assuming, of course, that he doesn’t have a heart attack of his own. He’s about 100 pounds overweight, like Dad. I’m sorry and I don’t wish them ill health, but I just see the whole family as gluttonous manipulators of soul-hungry people.

I must agree to a point. Most evangelists..and I speak from experience as my father was a pastor...are basically motivational speakers. They say what the congregation wants to hear. Bad thing is the people attach themselves to the preacher or denomination overtop of attaching themselves to Christ!

I used to listen some to Hagee, but one time on TV saw him say something I did not agree with .He was saying God had “punished” New Orleans for it’s evil ways with Katrina and went on to declare that he “dared anyone” to disagree. Well, good thing I wasn’t in that audience because I would ahve stood up and disagreed for all of Hagee’s sheeple to see. That was quite arrogant to me. I never read where Christ “dared” anyone to disagree. He simply put the TRUTH out there and no one could really say a word anyhow.

All that said, I do hope he makes a recovery and maybe tones it down a bit???

Well at least they can say it is a family run business.
