My favorite passed away...... Dr. D. James Kennedy. Probably the only one I ever liked.
As far as my research has taken me, Dr. Murray is one of the only Bible teaching Pastors in media who teaches chapter by chapter and verse by verse, using the original language manuscript texts as his explaination base for the wording in the King James Version Bible.
No hellfire and brimstone. No constant requests and marathons to raise cash to build new 'cathedrals'. Just honest Bible teaching. He teaches the Word of God as it was first written on parchment scrolls, before the traditions of man changed God's Word into an agenda of biased, misleading and deceptive teachings. It is refreshing to see the Word of God taught in media as it was intended to be taught originally in the manner of Christ's own teachings... non denominationally.
...so I've been bragging about this old man that I watch every morning before I head out the door to work. But I never seem to wake up in time to see his name or the title of the show.
This morning I did!!!
(Drumroll, please...?)
The show is called Shepherd's Chapel, and the pastor's name is Arnold Murray. I think he preaches the Word just great! His voice has gentleness in it, he's never angry. He can practically call the people who are listening "sinners" without offending anybody. And he makes you want to stick around to hear more. More than once, I've been dancing around in my living room waiting for him to finish so I could run to the bathroom!
I especially like how he goes from verse to verse, pausing to reflect on and give his interpretations. He says that God thinks of us all, his children, equally. There's no special ones, nobody's given extra powers here, we're all gifted equally. When God gifts us, he expects more from us, in fact.
Give him a watch. He's very comforting.
Can anybody else out there name their favorite shows? Recommendations? Pastors (I don't want to call them televangelists)?
Thanks!
Pastor Gary, when I was in the Mormon faith, we were told that the Holy Bible is the word of God "insomuch as it was interpreted correctly."
You stated, ". . .before the traditions of man changed God's Word into an agenda of biased, misleading and deceptive teachings. Is that similar to what I was told? And could you give me an example of that? Do you think some things really were interpreted wrong? Or do you mean preachers twist the meaning of some of the things in the Bible?
The question is though, how do you know that they ARE anointed to preach?I don't mean to put you all down, but I recently read in the Bible in I Chronicles 16:22 "Do not touch My anointed. And do My prophets no harm." Doesn't that mean we are not supposed to be talking about people who are anointed to preach?
Highly recommend "Encounters of the God Kind"Jesse Duplantis is my favorite. He is amazing! He is blunt, has a lot of spunk, includes humor, and uses experiences from his childhood to better explain scriptures. His energy and passion for the Lord just makes me light up inside and makes me want to have what he has. He makes me want to get saved all over again. I watch him every Monday night on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

The sad part is, when the bad ones are found out, they get the media attention. The good ones never do. That makes it look like they are all bad to a lot of people.
