I wasn’t a fan.
But this couple started with no money and built an enormous broadcasting network with hundreds of transmitters, hundreds of stations, beaming into every country on earth.
Thats what they did. Crazy, flawed, pink-haired though they may be. Thats what they did. They take in a lot of money and they spend a lot of money building and running their network and finding new countries to broadcast in to.
We used to watch them walk the mall and chuckle as they’d pass by.
Are they heretics? Their beliefs are pretty mainstream in the penticostal world. Did they teach “prosperity”? They taught that God answers prayer, and a big part of their empire was the prayer line where people called in with every problem imaginable to ask for prayer by the millions.
God didn’t ask me to build anything like that. Its a good thing; I’d have had no idea where to begin. I guess they didn’t either, but they went on and did it anyway.
I sure think they could have done far WORSE. If it was sincerely meant for the glory of the Lord as best they understood it, God then certainly blessed it.
Those who did not like it, can they do better than pot shots? Like say how they would have dealt with such an opportunity themselves?
Benny Hinn has been raking in millions, but he is a snake-oil salesman of the highest order. The same with Robert Tilton, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen and Oprah Winfrey. Godless hucksters all of them.
