  • Sheryl Brady Tells Women to Latch on to God at T.D. Jakes Conference

    Whether it is famine or hunger, the prosperity preachers will conduct rallies and conferences and charge a very high registration fee. After each conference, the audience will get an inspiring message of hope, the jet-set preachers will make $ 10000.00/hour and return home smiling.

    Whether it is famine or hunger, the prosperity preachers will conduct rallies and conferences and charge a very
    high registration fee. After each conference, the audience will get an inspiring message of hope, the
    jet-set preachers will make $ 10000.00/hour and return home smiling. The emotionally charted believers will
    feel the pinch of depression before reaching home due to the money lost. The drama is going on for a very
    long time. Sometimes, to hear a solid Christian message, I look at the T.V., and 99% of them are constantly
    pleading to sell their blessing package " send $ 1000.00 so that you are going to get a 1000 times blessings".
    Never in life, I have seen such a vast crowd of so called preachers, preaching nothing but prosperity and
    health and begging for money.less

  • Newt Gingrich's Comic Repentance

    The Christians of America has to take back America from her moral decay. But, I am greatly irritated by some of the politicians who are very good in playing " SEASONAL SPIRITUALITY'" exactly at the national election time. Mr. Gingrich has never been known as a spiritual leader standing solidly for God and His word, but now, he is playing a different note of the music.

  • Obama Defends U.S. Action in Libya; Some Evangelicals Agree

    President Obama did the right thing to avoid a blood bath in Libya. Many people don't understand the mindset of the autocrats. For them, even their friends are mere numbers, and will kill them like playing in the duck hunting game in T.V. People of all religions are God's creation, and we have a moral obligation to see that their lives are spared from ruthless autocrats like Gaddafi. If...more

    Attacks on the Christian minorities where the BJP or BJP led administration was in force, it was well orchstrated and preciously planned.

  • Grassley Concludes Senate Probe of 'Prosperity' Televangelists

    Th sad side of the modern day "prosperity gospel" is that, it is spreading in the poor countries of Asia and Africa, and the leaders and preachers are leading a lifestyle affluence while the believers are barely making both ends meet. Separation of religion and State is not a blank approvel for the unehtical people to rip off the gullible believers, through religion.

  • Expert: Egypt's Mubarak Resignation Good for Coptic Christians

    God's ways are always very mysterious. The Jesus film copies in DVD were sold by the millions in the Arab world, and the seeds of the gospel are being planted in many Arab countries through facebook, internet etc. The Holy Spirit is going to blow so stronly in all these Muslim countries in the coming days.

  • ECFA Forms Commission in Wake of Prosperity Probe

    Until the belivers make honest assessment about the ministry to which they donate, this prosperity gospel march of the "seed faith" farmers will continue. The ECFA can monitor small time ministries, but the mega T.V. preachers are beyond their capacity to watch.

    When the ABC reporter asked him about President Obama's faith, he outright reponse was "my Muslim faith".
    His personal religious faith is own choice. However, based on the outward symptoms, we are forced to believe
    that he leaning very heavily towards Muslim faith, and far less towards the Christian faith.less

  • Ban on Christian Symbols at Okla. Bank Reversed

    population of the world world is almost 2/5 with the combined strength of the Catholics and Protestants,
    the Christians are the most persecuted people around the world.

    Though the U.S.A. is a majority Chrisian nation, they are being persecuted by the Federal Judges, ACLU,
    and so many Federal Agencies are targets for persecution. This is the time that the American citizen speak out
    against all the unlawful attacks on their religious freedom.

    Banks are not owned by the Federal Reserve Board, and how they can interfere with the freedom of the
    Banks to display Christmas decorations? Had it been an idol of Buddha, nobody will bother to display that.
    As we are disregarding everything related to the Bible and Christianity, we are getting into deeper troubles,
    still the march to destruction is going on without any worry and concern.less

  • Christian Billionaire Pledges to Give Away Wealth

    Mr. David Green's generosity helped to rescue financially wrecked Oral Roberts University. And, now he has joined the other kind-hearted people to donate their wealth for helping the needy. Great act of charity which will be pleasing to God. I hope and pray that this attitude may influence other rich people who are still in the attitude of " idol worship" of their wealth.

    How the prosperity preachers flying different private aircrafts for various trips are going to face the situation?
    They will have to preach so hard and sell books and DVD/CD for double price to keep the show going.

    They quoted that Abraham was a rich. God sent direct blessings to him due to his simple obedience and trust,
    but he never sold anything with a religious tag to get rich. Indeed, the prosperity preachers are put into real test at this time of recession. How many are going to be winners, and how many are going to read chapter
    7 or 13.less

  • 4 in 10 Pastors Believe Obama Is a Christian

    As we are getting ashamed of our identity before the world that "we are followers of Christ", proportionally, God will be ashamed of us, and He will withhold the blessings. Is Christian life somthing to be hidden at home and inside the Church building? Or to display in our daily lives, while facing the world of Christians and non-Christians!
