taiko Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It has been a few years since I have watched Christian TV but the following have had their season. There are also the singers/pastors but i will leave them out. In no particular order Mr. T, not a pastor but when he showed up on TBN I would watch that part of the broadcast. The Seventh Day Adventist Doug Batchelor and the less confrontation It Is Written show John Hagee Joyce Meyers Rod Parsley Myles Munroe Kim Clement, to watch him prophesize while the band improvised over a vamp 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Author pureinheart Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Wow, these are all cool people you guys have listed and the ones that I haven't heard before am gonna check them out, in need of all the encouragement I can get:)...aren't they a blessing! To me these people are important as there have been some very dark days in my life and some of them literally saved my life and helped me live a better life:) Jesus...wow the ultimate eh? Forgot Joel Osteen and Joseph Prince, they are just adorable Chuck Smith Oh and Joyce Myers...Lord have mercy, when first beginning to listen to her in the late 90's ...well I can say "conviction" on that note. Man she hit right to the meat of some of my very severe inner problems. Edited September 27, 2012 by pureinheart 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Eve Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I know a lot of the people mentioned on here and would agree. Seriously. I have a list of new people to look up from watching, 'It's Supernatural'. That programme is GREAT! I have had some very close encounters and really appreciate others standing forward and telling their testimonies as they do on that show. The presenter is a bit loud, in terms of not being what I am used to but I have grown to like him. Cool thread. Take care, Eve x 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I hope this isn't taken as raining on anybody's parade, but I cannot stand Joel Osteen. The guy just reeks of being a huckster, even though my father-in-law thinks he's great. Or maybe I'm just still pissed about the Rockets no longer playing at the Summit (now the site of his church). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mercy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Henry Nouwen, Ron Rolheiser, and Benedict Groeschel I had never heard of these three so I googled them. Henry Nouwen's words are amazing! At his site I found this - "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." Beautiful words. Reminds me of my friend I lost. He explained her to a T! I have put his site in my favorites. Thank you for sharing him! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I was educated in religious schools, staffed by predominantly nuns and brothers, and one stands out in my mind as I found her combination of a traditional style and progressive viewpoint to be synergistic with the man I would later become. She was our 7th grade teacher, a young nun of 27 at the time, named Sister Janet. If I can trace my propensity for melding emotional and spiritual love with sex, it can be to her treatment of the subjects of sex education, relationships and birth control at that time, in the early 1970's. I don't participate in religion by personal choice but Sister Janet will always occupy fond memories of an influential adult role model for myself at a young age. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny you mentioned the presenter being loud and just had to laugh. One of the Pastors mentioned in OP, E.V. Hill is just the most adorable speakers I've ever seen. He starts out very calm and towards the end of his message he's screaming...it's just his style. He's with the Lord now, and seeing the re-runs of him just makes me cry..I miss him sooo much, although can't wait to hear him teach in heaven:) Link to post Share on other sites

I went to Catholic school and don't remember "brothers", so this is why I ask. Also we were not taught sex ed lol. Man, all of the Sisters had a huge imact on my life (they had paddles back then, remember?). Without that solid foundation, God only knows where I'd be today. Given the severe direction my life was headed, just can't imagine how bad it would have been without them. I too have fond memories of that precious little Catholic school. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Could be someone else I am thinking off. I will review my Journal as I do take notes. 'It's Supernatural' is fab! It is currently my most favourite programme. It is wonderful. I like Bill Winston a lot too. The man talks the relational sense of the Gospels. He radiates. My favourite lady remains to be Joyce Meyer. I love her deeply. Hope to meet her one day, on this plain. Her Hand Of Hope cause is very inspiring.

mercy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Don't like televangelists. I am big on Thomas a Kempis, Tozer and Spurgeon. Imitation of Christ. Wow that brings back some fond memories. Studied the four books with my family as a child. And that reminded me of Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan and Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard.

M30USA Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) For those who are listeners of Joel Osteen, here is an informative and well-researched video on the origin of his teachings. Some of this information will shock you. It basically proves that his teachings are the same as the New Age cult and former Luciferian movement. If this sounds extreme, it's only because most people don't understand what New Age and Luciferianism is. Edited September 29, 2012 by M30USA 2 Link to post Share on other sites
