TV Preachers

Maybe I am just jaded. I sometimes flip through TBN and INSP and these channels sort of tick me off. I think of all the money they fleece people for just so they can be on TV. How much can they really be accomplishing for the kingdom? All the money that is spent to have make up, costumes, lights, sound and just the air time.....Everyone is on the air begging for money.

It just makes me sick to see money wasted. These word of faith guys that get on the air and lie, and abuse the word of God just to get money. They don't care about the people. Having been around these "diva" types just makes me sick.

I know that God is not blind to this sort of thing. I know that God will judge in the end. I know they will answer in the end.

But I can not help but think of those who get missed. Of those who could have been reached. What could have been done for the kingdom with that money? Instead of buying airplanes, big cars, diamonds, fancy suits and all sorts of other junk, what if we put that money in the kingdom? What if we used that money to help the poor? What if we fed the hungry? What if we could build churches? What if we could help missionaries stay on the field and not have to spend their time raising money?

What if?
