robert tilton and paying vows?

[Rapha]

The thing that most disturbs me about this situation is the fact that a television network will provide a platform for people like Tilton. Surely they must have some integrity. How can one justify promoting a ministry that is quesionable? The network that supplies this man is just as much at fault, in my opinion.

Money talks with the networks, I guess. I always thought there were laws against scams, but buying religious time from networks undoubtedly falls under a different set of rules that can be taken advantage of by those that would make merchandise of the flock.
From the way the world is shaping up and the loss of ground for us Christians with no "in God we trust" slowly becoming the state of America, we will probably not see Christian programming, at all, in a few years. The Church must pray for this country, but judgment is surely coming on a land that has murdered several generations of unborn children.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God and even turn against their Master who bought them. Theirs will be a swift and terrible end.
2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of them, Christ and his true way will be slandered.
3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction is on the way.

Wow it's so nice to see the love Christ at work here thank you.

And yes there would seem to be a ? mark by his name yet Jim M I do not believe those people deserve what they get lol but then again you did say "less-than-merciful" I know what you ment . I praise God that all those that do give in faith will get there answer for it is the faith the Lord sees not the Mr T.

Maybe if he is not what he should be and if he has missed it then maybe we should pray for him? That's what I would want if I somehow missed it. Sorry brothers I just can't see Jesus going around tell everyone how bad someone is. Just my thoughts.

Well, I'll add my 2 cents here I guess. I used to watch Robert Tilton, and I enjoyed watching him, but never gave him a dime. He is a faith lifter, if nothing else. When a ministry asks you for a certain amount to give, then my red flag goes up. If God doesn't impress on my heart to give that amount, then I'm not doing it. Recall the widow who cast in two mites? Jesus said that she had cast in more then ye all. She gave out of her need.
I was watching Jessie Duplantis a few nights ago, and he told a funny story. He was new in the faith, and was sitting in church one day. He heard the Lord say to him to give $10,000. He said that he leaned forward to the guy in front of him, and said, what did you say, ? The guy in front of him said the same thing, what did YOU say? Well, the Lord has spoken to them both to give this amount. Jessie said that was all that he had, but He obeyed the Lord. It turned out that the lord blessed him over and above that $10,000.
I have had the lord impress upon me to give to certain ministries, but just not to Robt. Tilton.
