Subject: No Joyce Meyer?????????????????? |
Bible Note: I had to reply to this post. I know tons of ministers on tv and radio that are excellent and entirely Biblical (what I've heard of them anyway), however, you'll ALWAYS encounter some kind of resistance when speaking about big name preachers. Jesus was the Son of God, who's ministry was more important than His? Yet still there were those who opposed Him. I assure you that I am a student of the word not only in my private devotional time, but I am currently in school becoming a pastor. I urge you to do as the Bereans did in Acts 17:11 and check everything against scripture. As for the list of preachers: Oral Roberts, Richard Roberts, Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Hagin Jr., Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Joyce Meyer, John Hagee, Jesse Duplantis, Jerry Seville, Creflo and Taffy Dollar, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Marlyn Hickey, Chuck Swindall, Billy Joe and Sharon Dogherty, Eastman Curtis, Benny Hin, Mark Sharona, and Billy Grahm (i'm sure his son's and grandsons are ok too, but I've never heard them). I know there are probably more that I can't think of, but I'm sure that you'll be able to find someone. Also, I tend to stay away from ministers that are critical of other ministers. It's one thing to have constructive criticism, but when names are mentioned or it is made obvious who the person is than that is slander which is no more Biblical than wrong teaching. Always check what you've heard with the Bible because it is the word of God and even big time ministers can miss in now and then. I hope my information could be of some help to you and that you find a good ministry that will bless you in your spiritual growth. Jesified |
