Armstrong need not worry. His honest teaching will payoff.
I’ve seen/heard these Prosperity Preachers. They
may believe in what they are doing, and they may generate
lotta casho for charity. But their preaching is not
CHrist-centered it is numbers centered.
He should drop the lawsuit though. Just get paid for the contract and be on his way.
I have to say, in all my years of attending Bishop Jakes’ church, I have NEVER heard him speak of prosering in God through any kind of gil-gotten, unbiblical manner. Bishop Jakes preaches about being healed in every area, in your mind, body, soul, and yes, living a proserous life, financially, Bishop Jakes DOES NOT preach give and God will make you rich, he preaches give and God will provide!!!! While Mr. Armstrong is writing about the so-called prosperity gospel Bishop Jakes preaches (I’m defending him b/c I belong to his church, I beleive the other men are true as well, but at this time, I must come in defense of my pastor) did he write about the over one million dollars Bishop Jakes raised for hurricane Katrina victims(not to mention the millions raised by The Potter’s House, that million came from his own efforts, from other pastor friends) the hundreds that The Potter’s House placed into homes after the storm. The over 100k given to the UNICEF after the Tsunami in 2004. What about the wells dug in Africa so that the people living in the most remote parts of the continent would have fresh water to drink. How about the hundreds of homeless that come to our church and receive showers, haircuts, food and fresh clothes on a weekly basis. No...you dont hear that, what about even the many, many outreach programs The Potter’s House offers, including programs for people infected and effected by the HIV/ Aids epidemic, the ministry devoted to women who were former prostitiudes and now reformed. The program for current jail inmates, and one for former offenders to become reestablished back into society. What about the hundreds of fresh hospital beds and linens, along with food sent to South American countries? Bishop Jakes is a man of true honor and compassion, I would not have been at The Potter’s House for nine years if there were not the case. God Bless!
