Hi BradK, Thanks for speaking in love ;-) Is it really junkfood? I think the presentation can be entertaining. I don't subscribe to all persons on the Network in as much as you would not subscribe to everything that any of your respected peers would have to say. Maybe the problem is that on TBN the Christian life may appear to be a 'walk in the park', and the truth is that all growth comes through struggle and direct relationship with God. I think that would be the biggest problem. But if you are talking about results, ...fruit and works, I don't think you have anything on them. At least if you do, it would be good for public testimony to edify the brethren. Lots of people grouse about televangelists... but televangelism in and of itself is an excellent tool. If a particular individual is "off" then pray. If the preaching is generally not to your liking... then do something about it. Go on t.v. yourself, or get others on. Radio will never have the impact that the television has. |

Hi Earnest, I appreciate your response, even knowing that we may not agree on this matter:-) "Is it really junkfood?" Again, in my humble, but studied opinion, I believe the majority of it is! "But if you are talking about results, ...fruit and works, I don't think you have anything on them. At least if you do, it would be good for public testimony to edify the brethren" I don't have the ostentacious success that they have, but I'm not promoting serious doctrinal error, either! I'm also not comparing myself. Monetary success and public appeal and popularity are not the sole measurement of fruit and works. Not all fruit or works are necessarily good or will withstand testing by fire (1 Cor. 3:12-15). Earnest, I can't and won't "edify" brethren that I believe to be apostate or heretical! "If the preaching is generally not to your liking... then do something about it." One thing I'm doing about it is to be part of the solution and not the problem by my "no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" (Eph.4:14). I'm also mentoring others within my influence to be students of the Word through sound teaching and exegesis. I seek out and learn from other expositional teachers of the Word. Some are right here on this Forum! Television, though an extremely powerful medium, is not in my mind, the best source for teaching, studying, or learning the Word of God. We must still seek Him on our own through personal Bible study and prayer. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

Hi Brad, May I say that I like your spirit. You said: I don't have the ostentacious success that they have, but I'm not promoting serious doctrinal error, either! I'm also not comparing myself. Monetary success and public appeal and popularity are not the sole measurement of fruit and works. Not all fruit or works are necessarily good or will withstand testing by fire (1 Cor. 3:12-15). I totally CONCUR with that. You also said: Earnest, I can't and won't "edify" brethren that I believe to be apostate or heretical! Now that I might take some issue with. 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. ALSO: One thing I'm doing about it is to be part of the solution and not the problem by my "no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" (Eph.4:14). I'm also mentoring others within my influence to be students of the Word through sound teaching and exegesis. I seek out and learn from other expositional teachers of the Word. Some are right here on this Forum! Television, though an extremely powerful medium, is not in my mind, the best source for teaching, studying, or learning the Word of God. We must still seek Him on our own through personal Bible study and prayer. AMEN! ... I agree about our own study. About t.v. not being a good idea... that's like saying that we should not indulge in bodily exercise or that women should not wear gold... when what God was saying is that real adorning is that which is within... notwithstanding the efforts a woman puts into her appearance. So t.v. is good... personal study is far better! ;-)) |

Earnest, Brother, I appreciate your spirit too:-) If your only issue is with my not edifying certain individuals, I can live with that:-) I believe that there is a difference between edification and judging. Also, I'm not so sure 1 Cor. 4:5 is dealing with that matter? I'm simply saying that I personally will not do such for these type of individuals. I don't think scripture speaks against this. Also, I didn't say Television is not a good idea! Rather, that I don't believe it's the best source of info vs. personal study. Hopefully that clarifies my views. Thanks again for your comments. Speaking The truth In Love, BradK |
