There are far too many men and women in the spotlight that satan is using profusely to mislead people in the paths of
un-righteousness.
The excuse is "it's their personal opinion". However many people who look up to them take their personal opinion as the rule and the right way to follow. The spotlighters want and need their fans and secure them with 'sweet whispers' of sugar sins. They minimize the sin to a fraction leading folks further astray.
A person can be a work in progress for but so long, before it's foundation is no longer there. It's sinking sand. Excuses won't hold up in a storm, but one's secure faith in Jesus will. Secure faith comes from obedience and a willing heart to repent when sin occurs.
We need strong men in this earth. They're here, but there are far too few in the spotlight. Right now we have far too many 'sell-outs' and this includes the president which gives 'permission' for other men to follow who look up to him. All men imitate and follow their heros. Right now, we don't have enough of the right ones.
TBN has done a dis-service to the Body of Christ by lowering it's standards of representation, and this is especially humiliating to the Black community, for the world looks at these men such as Harvey, Tyrese Gibson, Jamal Bryant, Jakes who's now with Oprah and Depok (the psychic) and even Obama and they say, is this the best Blacks have to offer to represent Jesus Christ?
Where are the die hards? Where are the men and women of Integrity? Where are the ones who truly stand for God's heart and righteousness and refuse to compromise and waiver with sin. I'm sick of weak men being in the spotlight and preaching foolishness. Men with plastic testicles which gives no life to those who are perishing in darkness. They are void of God's heart; void of building strong men to carry the torch of rightousness and allowing God to be exhalted and not satan.
In this life to live right, you take a high risk, for you will lose acceptance of the world, but yet ... Oh but yet, God's Word clearly says, 'What does it profit a man (or woman) to gain the whole world and to lose your soul?
Jesus put it best when satan offered him the world and all of it's riches: "Get thee behind me satan"........ and the devil left him, for season.
Jesus was fully equipped to handle the next season, however men who know God not, have failed, and failed miserably. It's showing in the Harveys and the Obamas and the Gibsons, and Jamal Bryants and Jakes... and.......
God said that He would not contend with 'us' forever...
