I used to listen to David Jeremiah among a myriad of other pastors on the radio during the revival phase of my faith. Comes across as very sincere and is a relief from the judgemental, emotional, or used-car salesman types out there.

BUT on that last note, I notice he started plugging things like books, his anti-porn program and stuff like that.

In the end, he's another man.

Yes, when we start getting disillusioned with respected/disrespected figureheads, we need to look within ourselves and see if we put too much trust in them. It gets scary when one human has a following like so many do, in these days of easy-access mass media.

Most people value money more than anything else (speaking of tangible assets) Thus The most valuable thing they can give is that which is hardest for them to part with, their money.

I had this impression about the OP quote too -- sacrificial living is a standard part of teaching Jesus' messages -- love not your life to the death, give the cloak off your back, unless a seed dies it doesn't bear fruit. Maybe the truth is that pride is the most valuable to us, or control, or respect... but tangibly it usually boils down to money.

We can address the issue by not playing the game. Not getting overly attached to our must-see programs. I doubt that many of the criticized televangelists see themselves as greedy or scamming, but we see it in the context of their incomes, their notoriety and inflated following, their glib comments on money when so many workers are laid off.

Also the way they are able to make money by asking for it can grate on the emotions of people working overtime, or business owners who lose money while working hard. Who wouldn't like to ensure their financial security by saying, "send me money," and find it works. A twinge of jealousy is inevitable.

But in the end, and right now, God sees all hearts and schemes of man.

Hi everyone. I have pay television and as a consequence a 24hr Christian channel-which quite frankly I can do without. I absolutely loathe the major amounts of American televangelists with their usual hyped up clap trap money grubbing.

I was watching a little bit of David Jeremiah as he struck me as being moderate and sensible. He was preaching on giving and serving when he said this:

"The greatest sacrifice you can give to God is money". I rolled my eyes and thought "same old, same old-you see one, you see them all".

What do you think?

I don't listen to or watch that ...... Well you gotta be nice here.

not everyone should consider themselves to be teachers, or Televangelist, especially if you teach Jesus comes before the antichrist, while right now this false teaching has not caused any problems, in the future this will be the excepted and prominant teaching of most all churches, when the antichrist comes "The great falling away" will occur, most of the Christians at that time will follow this deceiver right into the lake of fire
