I stopped giving to televangelists some time ago, after a a report on ABC about WV Grant, Robert Tilton, and some other person (Larry Lea?), all who seemed to be complete fakes. Not all are, and I'm not very trusting of liberal network news, but if you also saw that report, and wanted to make your money count for something besides helping some charlatan make his Cadillac payment, you would have also examined your giving patterns and made a change. I don't give to anyone I do not know personally. And I only give to direct evangelism efforts (missionaries) not to "TV people." At a former Church I attended for 10 years, I stopped all non-tithe giving when the Church made the Pastor's wife a "minister," just so they could get her on the payroll. You have to be careful; just because someone says they're a Christian, doesn't mean a thing. In fact, my defenses go up whenever someone blurts that out. If you're a Christian, then your behavior and demeanor will prove it (fruits) not empty hot air coming out of your mouth. I thought when I became a Christian in March of 83 that I would find most believers hold to a certain standard but that has not been my experience. In fact, some of the most cruel and dishonest persons I have ever known were those I met via Church and a music ministy I myself served in. But since JC is the real deal, and you can't get to Heaven any other way, I will stick with it. Narrow is the Way, and few are they who find it, but I intend of being one of those few.....
