Biography Ministries Conducts Televangelist Test

Hello!

Welcome to Biography Ministries.

My name is Tom Hudson. For as long as I can remember televangelists have always been on the worlds blacklist. They are always looked down upon and they are always made fun of. I have never heard anything good about a televangelist from the world’s point of view.

I started wondering about God’s point of view? Would God view these ministries the same way as the world does? So…

…I came up with this simple test. Followed by the results!

God said, “Go into all the world and...

preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes… will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned" (Mk.16:15,16). I checked on the televangelists and here is what I found.

TBN Ministries has 97 satellite stations and 12,500 affiliates, reaching nearly 100,000,000 households globally.

Daystar Ministries is now broadcasting to over 50 million homes in the United States and to several hundred million homes in 150 countries around the world via ten major satellites.

Joyce Meyer Ministries airs her television and radio programs in 25 languages in 200 countries, and she has written over 70 books on Christianity.

Not bad! Not mentioning the other hundred or so televangelist’s these three ministries alone are doing pretty good at spreading God’s Word. Next, I wanted to look into these healing ministries. Are they real or are they fake? Well, God says in Mk. 6:5,6 and in Matt.13:58 that Jesus could do no mighty work because of the peoples unbelief.

Notice, it doesn’t say He wouldn’t, it says He couldn’t.

If unbelief kept Jesus from working, and He ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit without measure (Jn. 3:34), can we as unbelievers expect anything different from todays healing ministries? Especially when God says it’s impossible to please Him without faith. I think this subject explains itself.

OK, let’s move on. Does the Bible agree with the world that the televangelists will be disliked? Boy, it sure does! I found in I Jn. 3:13 that God says, Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. And then again in Jn. 15:18 God says, If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. And in verse 20 …If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.

When I dug deeper and came across I Cor. 4:13 where God says that they would be defamed and be as the filth of the world I started thinking these televangelists and their ministries just might be on God’s whitelist? Until I thought, “Money!” Yeah, that’s it. That’s what is in the news, even the Christian news. That’s what the whole world is talking about. The tv evangelist's money. I’ll run that through “THE TELEVANGELIST TEST!”

Now, I remembered Abraham when I was a child, so...

I thought I’d look him up first. Here’s what I found. In Gen.13:2 God says, Abraham was not only rich, but he was VERY rich with silver and gold, etc; Even Abraham’s servant agreed with God because in Gen. 24:35 he says, “The Lord has blessed my master greatly …with silver and gold, etc;

As a matter of fact I started noticing that most of the men and women of the Bible were extremely, exceedingly abundantly rich!

I would see promises of God about money and then look at these televangelists and see God keeping His Word! Like for instance, If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures (Job 36:11). And also, That I may cause those who love Me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries (Prov. 8:21). Blessed is the man who fears the Lord… Wealth and riches WILL be in their house (Ps. 112:3).

After counting over 250 verses about prosperity

I gave up! According to God’s Word these televangelist's pass with flying colors, not only that, but they’re living proof that God keeps His Word!

Now don’t get me wrong. I’ve heard people complain about some of these televangelist’s driving luxurious cars. If they are purchasing these worldly toys with the tithes meant for the poor that would be very messed-up, wouldn’t it? But the Bible has an answer for that. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

I personally believe that it’s alright for these preachers to buy these things with the royalties or profits of their book sales or non ministry business ventures. But that’s just my opinion.

The Rolls-Royce that Creflo Dollar drives, I heard, was a birthday gift from his congregation. The his and hers Mercedes-Benz’s that Kenneth Copeland and his wife Gloria own, I heard, were anonymous gifts. I also heard that Benny Hinn hypnotizes people but I’m not going to judge these televangelists or falsely accuse them by what I hear. I’ll just let God sort it all out.

I do know that you can tell a tree by it’s fruit.

A bad tree cannot produce good fruit and a good tree cannot produce bad fruit. And no matter what goes on in life there is always going to be some bad apples.

But… I don’t want to get into all that. The main purpose of this website is:

…to gather basic personal information about these well known preacher/teacher/evangelist’s and bring that information altogether under one roof (website) and then present to you the biographical profiles of each one of these leading Christian TV ministries.

So… make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy your visit.

This website is very much a 'work in progress' at the moment. Please check back from time to time to see what's new.
