Hi Brother,I was interested to read your comments about some of the people appearing on TV these days whose theology is more than a little suspect. We have to keep in mind that channels such as TBN are really only interested in selling air-time. It goes without saying that there will be those who will peddle their own 'brand' of Christianity.People like you and me know the dangers, but many tuning in to these programmes will be taking false teaching to heart. I believe the only way to impact this situation is by constant, fervent prayer that God's truth will prevail and that the Holy Spirit will reveal to the perpetrators of false teaching the error(s) they are upholding.This is going to be a long battle as many of these people have got themselves well established. We can only pray for wisdom if called upon to minister to those contaminated by such false teaching.Incidentally, I am new to this website which I discovered mentioned in the current issue of "Christianity + Renewal" magazine. I am based in Humberston, which is next door to the seaside toen of Cleethorpes, not very far from Grimsby in the County of North East Lincolnshire (UK).I am Vicar (that is, Pastor, for anyone not familiar with the word) of St. Peter's Parish Church, Humberston, (Church of England). I have been here four years and we praise the Lord as we see the church here gradually climbing out of no less than 44 years that can only be described as 'stagnant'.Enough of me, I am sure many will be sympathetic with and share your concerns, as I do.Every blessing
