Not in front of a computer, so I'm keeping this short. I'm not bashing anyone, but did point out error. Any ministry can profess Jesus, and still get it wrong. Just because I hear the name "Jesus" out of someone's mouth does not mean I'm automatically going to believe them to have sound theology. In fact, it usually means I'm now going to listen, with even more discernment (via the knowledge I already possess, and the bible) to determine if they are someone I should listen to, or not.

I never cared much for Charles Stanley, either. In fact, there's not a single TV preacher I care to watch. I used to enjoy listening to a couple of them on the radio, but since I don't have a commute that allows me time to hear the whole broadcast I quit listening.

As for the Victoria Osteen clip, worship IS all about God. It's for Him, to glorify Him, to praise Him, to thank Him. Why else is that worship is what goes on in Heaven, where there are no troubles, or cares, no need to be made happy? We do gain great benefit from it, our souls are lifted by worship, and worship draws us nearer to God as we focus on Him.

Right there with you. :))

Hey, does anyone know why people started preaching on tv? (really asking, I have no clue)
My guess is because they got their butt ran out of their traditional church or they got the idea that, "Hey, I bet I could get a tv show then get people to send money."

My dad always said if someone was down and out on their luck there is always hope that the they will "hear the calling" into the ministry. While I didn't really understand it when I was younger I've sadly met a few in the ministry that very possibly could have followed that advice.
That's sadly true. :(
