Before you post anything that would suggest that Pastor Greg Laurie and/or the Harvest Crusades are mainly focused on just getting 'numbers' and that the ministry in general is nothing more then "cheap grace personified", ask yourself these 2 questions. 1) Have you ever been to a Harvest Crusade?; and 2) When was the last time you shared the gospel with an unbeliever? If you your answers are 'Never' and 'Can't Remember' (which I suspect it will be for pretty much EVERY nay-sayer on this post), then you really shouldn't post anything negative or eye-brow raising about such an incredible ministry as Harvest. I personally attended the event myself this past Friday night in Anaheim and I went away from the event mind-boggled at the true fruit of repentance and salvation that I witnessed in the lives of thousands of new believers. Sadly, most of you would rather do nothing for the Gospel except sit on your lazy spiritual butts and eagerly look for any possible way to point out fault in the people and ministries who are actually doing the true work of the gospel...as if in some sick way this justifies your sin of doing absolutely nothing to further the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, and the suggestion that we need more ‘spiritual fathers’ (insinuating that Pastor Greg Laurie is not one) is shameful. I wonder how many of you would have the courage and faith to deliver a Gospel presentation 3 short weeks after the Lord inexplicably took your son. That was the gutsiest and most courageous expression of faith and love for our Lord that I may have ever witnessed to see a man so heart-broken over the loss of his own son, yet still faithful and committed to the call of his First Love. Wake up, Church!
