MODERN TV RELIGIOUS SIDESHOW AUCTIONEERS
Turn on your TV. The majority are selling, peddling, hucksterizing an adulterated version of God’s word for improper profit and personal gain! Your will hear sermons on such subjects as, "Planting Seed", or "Seedtime and Harvest," or "Making a Financial Covenant with God," or "Becoming a Faith Partner," or "Tithing on the Gross," or "Your Welfare Check Belongs to God," or "At What Age Should One Tithe?" or "Tithing Your Way to Financial Freedom," or best of all, "Will a Man ROB God?" etc., etc., etc.
At various times during the show, you will be offered: BOOKS, TAPES, PAMPHLETS, VIDEOS, STATUES, PINS, TRINKETS, MEMBERSHIP CARDS, PLAQUES, CANDLES, CERTIFICATES (always suitable for framing), COMMEMORATIVE COINS, BAGS OF SALT, VIALS OF OIL, DIRT FROM THE HOLY LAND, WATER FROM THE SEA OF GALILEE, AND EVERY CONCEIVABLE PIECE OF RELIGIOUS JUNK AND PARAPHERNALIA IMAGINABLE, all for big bucks, (plus shipping and handling)!!
Or maybe you could catch one of Pastor Shambach’s "God Told Me…" sermons. Pastor Shambach has been coercing people on international television for the past several years to send two thousand dollars to TBN. He said that GOD TOLD HIM THAT EVERYONE WHO IS IN DEBT AND WANTS TO GET OUT OF DEBT NEEDS TO SEND to TBN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS (and if you don’t have two thousand dollars, then you are to send it in by smaller installments)! And if you have money left over, you can go to a thousand web sites where these same religious hucksters have whole stores of religious accouterments for which you can spend your money. I opened one site this week just out of curiosity. They boasted over ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND items for sale.
Sorry, I got carried away. Continuing:
God started the church in the Wilderness by bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt (out of sin).
Only a few entered the Promised Land because of unbelief (they wanted to go back to Egypt, back to sin).
From the Promised Land, God drove both Israel and Judah into captivity by the Assyrians and Babylonians respectively.
Under Ezra and Nehemiah along with priests and Levites, they returned and rebuilt Jerusalem.
Jesus Himself, tells us how utterly corrupt the religious leadership was in His day.
Paul tells us that it was the MAJORITY in his time that were making merchandise out of God’s word, corrupting and selling it for a personal profit!
In 70 AD all of Jerusalem including the whole temple system was totally destroyed, but the Church that Jesus built continued on.

Corruption in people, churches, heck the world. Its easy to find. Im pretty sure that we can walk into any church on the face of this earth and we will find people who sin. Calling people out and pointing them out saying God is not talking to them. Are we sure? I dont like the preachers who stand and ask for money. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear a preacher spend 10 minutes On why they must tithe to the church. I dont see in any of the sermons from the bible any kind of time devoted for begging for money. IF Gods spirit is really in that church then wouldnt he move his people to give anyway?
If we see a "so called man of God" doing wrong. Rather than write a blog shouldnt we contact this man and confront him with the truth. Negativity is like a cancer. Doesnt matter who started it, as soon as you get in it you got it too!!! So if all sin is equal ( except blashemy against the Holy Ghost) then pointing the finger, name calling, or judging a man would all be just as sinful as the man who is being pointed at.
Somthing Zig Ziglar once said. He said when you have one finger pointing at someone you have the other three pointing right back at you.
