"whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached"

That Scripture is only true if it is truly Christ that's being preached.

The motives of heretics are immaterial. Heretics preach a false Christ.

TBN is wall-to-wall with religious kooks.

The only kooks are the people who send them money.

It is the Holy Spirit that quickens the heart when the word is spoken. It has nothing to do with the preacher. This is the point Paul is making.

If God needed righteous men for His word to go forward we would all be in trouble. Luckily God doesn't rely on mans wisdom as you seem to.

Isa 55:9-11 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (NIV)
