"And yet those same folks have a completely different tone for gay people with differing Christian viewpoints" How do you know my tone towards gays? Aren't you presuming a little too much.

i guess the PCUSA will be the proud owners of an EMPTY building! Odds are they will "sell" the building to Kirk and rape the congregation...who already paid for the building with their blood, sweat, tears, and dollars.

The good thing is that God will shake His church. God will prepare His bride. God will take care of His followers. God will deal with the errant leaders...not any gov't agency.

Scripture says that we are to be above reproach. What do such leaders have to hide? The disciples were pulled before the magistrates and they defended the Gospel not their financial books.

mattehwr1: Kudos for your research on revivals but why must we label this? Try to define it? Try to categorize it? I know GodTV is labeling it an "outpouring". I don't even like the term 'revival' bcuz it conjers up all sorts of preconceived ideas about God.

I don't even like the term 'revival' bcuz it conjers up all sorts of preconceived ideas about God. God desires to move amongst us on a daily basis, thru each of us individually, not just periodically thru some event. Sadly, we Christians do not seem to understand that and the result is the flash-in-the-pan 'revivals' that come and go. Given your research it is obvious that all such "revivals" are now gone. Am I better for it? Have any of those revivals impacted me personally or impacted God's divine purpose? I don't know. Al I can say is...if one person comes to know Christ and just one person is delivered from a terrible physical malady then all glory goes to God.less

Well, it appears that we are eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and taking the place of judgment, a place reserved only for God. Only God know Bentley's heart and motivation, whether it is dead-on or dead-wrong or somewhere in between. God chooses to use flawed people all the time, otherwise nothing would get done on this earth. God heals through flawed evangelists. He use...more

Well, it appears that we are eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and taking the place of judgment, a place reserved only for God. Only God know Bentley's heart and motivation, whether it is dead-on or dead-wrong or somewhere in between. God chooses to use flawed people all the time, otherwise nothing would get done on this earth. God heals through flawed evangelists. He uses us right? 'nuf said. Do I have concerns? Yes. Is it my place to pass judgment and condemn? Hell no.less

I am not sure how many people would be left in the church if we took the advice of "artm" and threw the sinners out. I sin, more than I want, and I repent, and then I sin again. It's a bad habit....somehow tied to my sin nature that I war against. Why doesn't the church pitch out all the overwieght (gluttony) since that is a BIGGER (no pun intended) sin in the church.

I expected the TBN parade after this story broke...and I anticiapte that Bynum will be on the same parade soon (if Iit already has not happened. They will be protected and promoted on TBN but not held accountable. Such a precedent was set years back. Televangelists are as bad as politicians...get the right spin going and everything works out.

They will be protected and promoted on TBN but not held accountable. Such a precedent was set years back. Televangelists are as bad as politicians...get the right spin going and everything works out. Sadly, White and Bynum will go on to more fame and fortune I suspect. For the record, I skip TBN and watch GodTV.less
