The one I'm really looking forward to is God's award ceremony, the one where the Appalachian preacher who never passed sixth grade and lived in relative poverty and obscurity wins a crown for being faithful in preaching the Gospel.
Or where a little old lady from China, who has to sneak to her worship service under the cover of night, will win a crown for faithfully praying for the American church.
Or where a mechanic in England wins jewel in his crown because he knocks on the door of a poor family and runs into the night, grinning like a schoolboy, because he has just left bags of groceries on their doorstep.
Or a boy in Sudan where a boy will earn his crown for being tortured and killed because he would not deny Jesus.
And the highlight of God's award show is that, at the end, all of the "winners" will
bow and place their crowns at the feet of Jesus and we will honor Him who truly deserves our honor.
So, I say let them honor the Whites and the Parsleys and the Crouches. They will have their award show. God will have His.
If it is as absurd as the comment as my fellow North Carolinian found and quoted in his post --
Sorry, I just had to quote it again, it was so profound (pulling tongue out of cheek now).
THEN It should hardly be worth the electrons it takes to post it. But I'll still be waiting to see it.
98% of them are TBN preachers and often called upon speakers.
All but 2 are Charismatic, those being Billy Grahm and Kirk Camron.
The rest are well known name it and claim it, prosperity gospel preachers, and of those the larger majority are the Word of Faith preachers.
It cracked me up to see Joel Olsteen in there for TV Evangelist nominee.
This part got me:
If you will notice they insinuate that the presumably the Christian 'elite' from all Christendom will be there but from their selection it is apparent those elite Christians encompasses only the Charismatic view.
