What’s the name of your ministry ??
Does it bother anyone else that when you turn on christian programing that there is a 3 minute promo. about how annointed john smith is….or that john is such a great guy highly favored of the lord …or that for an extra 6 thousand dollars you too can travel to isreal and have this wonderful guy pray with you and show you where jesus was crucified ..etc… or maybe you need to take our couples cruise and spend 5 days on a boat in the carribian with mr. super annointed guy …Blah blah blah …Am I the only one here who’s caught this??? Why waste 7 minutes of airtime and a quarter million dollars telling everyone how wonderful you are with graphics and video editing of women in tears and such …..Shouldn’t the name of jesus be emphisized and our own decreased.?? How about it ??? …agree or disagree???
OK folks…I’m not asking for the name of your ministry ….. RATHER asking you if you are bothered by the self promotion of preachers….
p.s. I’ve been a christian for 20 +years
hmm…. thought there would be more insightful comments on the subject

If it brings someone to Christ there is no limit on how much money I’m willing to spend to spread the word. However I wouldn’t give money to people for them to accept Christ – I would do things like radio announcements, comercials, banners on websites, etc. that would promote the Gospel.
My ministry is the ministry of Jesus the Christ

I call it the Church of the Holy Living Bejeezus. I appointed myself Supreme High Megapope shorty after I became an ordained minister of the Church of Universal Life.
I find people who have had the holy livin’ bejeezus scared out of them, and I scare it right back into them. Then they give me money.

Too many preachers are pushing their own name and their own private agenda instead of Jesus and the Gospel…
