Is Religion Stupid?
8/14/2005 - Sunday
Bernie talks with RTB Oregon Chapter Leader Ben Clifton. At one time, Ben thought science had all the answers, and that "religion was stupid." Now when he looks at creation, Ben sees the design of God. Is religion stupid? Yes and no. What we want to encourage is not "religion," but "relationship," with God through Christ.

Verse(s): John 14:16

Burned out on "religion?"
8/21/2005 - Sunday
Sometimes Christianity can get into dead & dry legalism: going through the religious motions of church attendance and other church work. Where is the love and relationship with God? Bernie Dehler talks about this with Dave Yeubanks, the operator of the PrayerShack.com website. As you study both the Old and New Testaments, you'll see that God has always been calling us into a love relationship with Himself. Do you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind?
Verse(s): Luke 10:27

Pastor Hagee Scandal Update

Pastor John & Diane Hagee

On Aug. 3rd, 2005, I presented the information about the money scandal with a prominent TV preacher, John Hagee. You can download it now to your computer and watch it, just click here. I have over 20 points regarding why Pastor Hagee should be exposed and disciplined by fellow Christians. Click here to see the MS PowerPoint slides.

I recently found out that in addition to his almost $1 million in compensation from his TV ministry, Cornerstone Church also compensated him as Senior Pastor for over $370,000 (proof is in the link to his TV ministry's public tax return here:
http://www.freegoodnews.com/form_990/hagee_2003_taxes.pdf ).

To sign the petition (open until 9-1-05), click here. So far, there's almost 100 names, from multiple states and countries. The goal is 1,000 signatures by 9-1-05, when I will present it to Pastor Hagee.

Please continue to send me feedback on the shows, webcasts, articles, etc. to:
