the hustle...

Keep those cards and pledges coming!!

I love the TV evangelist guy. I am a huge fan of the television evangelist. It is some very comical stuff isn’t it? You ever watch these people? It is a scene. I’ve seen all of them. The healers and dealers I call them. They are out trying to do all the work of God all the time and can get it done for only $25.00 dollars a month! Did you know that God works on that scale? I love the suits and wild hair and all the shouting and singing. The hustle is old but still so very easy to run. The world has become so desperate that they will believe and buy into anything. It’s “your best life now!” and “achieve the success you have always dreamed of!” uh-huh. These guys seem to think they have invented the wheel again. They might mention how much God is working in there ministry and how good God is. I heard one guy say that as he was trying to “witness” to a pro football player he said ”I'm not intimidated cause I make more money than him” uh-huh. God must be blessing cause he is getting paid right?? I don’t recall God saying go out and hustle people and call it a blessing. While we need to support the body of Christ and its work(and in my case the workers…which I am thankful for) we are not to be about the world and what it is about. Now we have the Internet evangelist guys and all their websites. We can download sermons and give online to there ministries. 1st John tells us to test the spirits because all of the false prophet in the world.… so what kind of things are we plugging into? The thing could be a certain product or maybe a talk show. Or even a church or a pastor. Lets make sure we are building into the one who overcomes and not the hustler out to sell the cross and preach the "feel good about ourselves" gospel.
