Beware of the televangalist

Since the day of Tammy Faye and Jim Baker there has been an increase of televangelists for many different faiths. They televise their programs on different days of the week now, not only on Sundays. Many of them ask their congregations to dig deep into their pocket books or wallets so that they can help give them a so called miracle, but one would have to ask themselves, "will I really receive one". History has shown that many of them live in lavish households. One would have to wonder how a modest preacher could afford to live such a lavish lifestyle.

Each year we hear about a well respected man of the cloth getting indicted for tax evasion. Why would a true man of God need to perform such an act? This means that many of their followers were duped into giving away their much needed funds. It is not OK to use Gods name to help them steal from people. Unfortunately, this is not only happening with televangelists. It is happening in many local ministries. Not all churches that collect funds is partaking in stealing from their parishes. At times these funds can go towards church repair and yearly church outings. People need to be wary of where they go to church at. They also need to watch ministers to see how they live. The best thing for everyone out there to do is to hold on to your much needed cash and if you want to donate, then donate a very small amount.
