I wanted to send an encouraging email I received. When I preach the gospel, I like to give examples of what's good and bad, passing for "Christianity" these days. This letter says it all (unedited):
Hello Bro Bernie,
First all I want to thank God Almighty who has lead me to your web site, what a wonderful and a great teacher you are. Today was the second time to listen to you and I can't agree more to what you said regarding greed in churches.
June 28th this year will BE my fifth birthday in Christ therefore, I'm still young and I continue to learn from servants like you. I was a Catholic before my salvation and really the word of God was way far away from me than I thought. When I got saved the Spirit of the Lord which dwells in me helps me discern who are true Bible believing Bible teachers and some who use it for their own gain. It so shameful how the devil has blinded believers to having flocking to these huge churches which teaches prosperity and faith movement. "believe and receive" "name and claim" "confess and possess" doctrine. I'm so disgusted how greed has caused some preachers not to fear God anymore. How can someone stand on the pulpit or TV and openly deceive people with no fear at all, leaves my mouth ajar. I don't listened to TBN and never will because of that. Jesus who is the standard of righteous has nothing he possessed, why have we failed to learn from Him. Preachers claim to teach the gospel but yet pick and choose what suits them. It is amazing how these prosperity teachers have omitted the bible from their teachings, and if they quote it will be twisted to fit in their message.
It is so disgusting how believers go and put money on their feet believe they will receive a hundred folds, shameful indeed. I suppose they base this on the book of Act when people brought money and their possession to the disciples. The part these greed preachers missed is, that the disciples shared all what was brought to the needy.
True this country is blessed beyond measure. It is surprising to see people who doesn't know the Lord pouring their hearts out to help the needy. I wonder if you watch secular TV but on Primetime show, on ABC, they aired an interview. Diane Sawyer interviewed this famous actor Brad Pitt who is now gear and fired up to eradicate poverty in Africa. The showed some clips on his recent trip to Ethiopia which was so depressing indeed, then almost towards the end of the program, they showed his huge mansion and asked him if will live there anymore( I supposed they asked him that because he has recently been divorced). He said "someone else will live there, after I have seen first hand how people live in African and how accepting their are of the unimaginable lives they live, I cannot live in such house anymore".
I thank God for what I have, a rented apt (roof on my head), a job (providing all my needs) a car to take me to and fro to wherever I want. What else can ask for. the bottom line is; whether you are a billionaire or a content person like me is, one can only sleep in one bed at a time, drive one car at a time, eat one one place at a time, be in one place at the time and the list goes on. Greed which causes us to want and want more blinds us to see that at the end all is garbage. I enjoyed all your jokes today especially the man who took gold to heaven.
I will continue to pray and support your ministry in anyway I can. People like you are the ones we should support because you're in the service of the Lord truly for the lost souls not for you own gain.
May the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry, to proper abundantly by His grace. Be strong and courageous, said Paul, God did not give you the spirit of fear but of power and of sound mind.
PS: Sorry if I wrote to much, I couldn't help myself. By the way, you are the first preacher I've ever written to. I normally don't but you touch me with your wonderful message I couldn't resist, again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK.
Please continue to send me feedback on the shows, webcasts, articles, etc. to:
