Okay, I usually don't blog, but here goes.....
I was watching television today, happened to catch a current Paula White broadcase.
Of course we can all tell that she has had plastic surgery, okay...no big deal I guess.

She began to talk about the benefits of tithing and offering---First Fruits. I was like, okay, sure, this is something that I needed to hear. But don't ya know it, within a matter of minutes she made a plea that "WE" would join HER to begin 2008 off right with our FIRST FRUITS.
Well, she never suggested that our First Fruits go to our own church. She wants people to sow their First Fruits into her ministry. Then she showed a testimony of someone who had given $100,000 as a First Fruit offering to her church.

This upsets me because, what we do is unto the Lord, not unto a televangelist. Even thru all of these issues, I have tried to not judge Paula White and the others in the media. Perhaps not wanting to really believe that they are taking peoples money.

I'm kindof without words. This really really bothers me. Who can you trust? It is clear to me now, that she is like the movie "Leap Of Faith", tell the people anything that will make them comfortable enough to give to your ministry.

Then I just read that T.D. Jakes has an earring in his ear!!!!! What?!?!?!! I'm not trying to drag them thru the mud, as I am clear that they are only "men", not Christ.
But my goodness, shouldn't we hold them to a hire standard?

I'm just at a loss with this whole thing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
