Chuck Dyksterhouse well I had a friend who had a weekly show on the network – A couple of months before the sell out, the cost of buying time jacked up four or five times. He couldn’t afford it. Knowing that he would sell later, it was a game to get the religious folks off before they signed new contracts when the secular company took over. The only program left was the 700 club. What was up with that.
Troy Day I am undeserving but highly favored, thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am also Sanctified, by the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Why would you ask?
I just posted this to my FB buddies: On Dr. Pat Robertson’s eulogies:
By now most Christian in the US have heard the Pat Robertson (b. 1930) died on the 6th of this month. He was a distinguished leader of the worldwide Charismatic Renewal, founding CBN network and Regent University, both epic milestones in the spread of Spirit-filled Christianity. You may have noted how some of the secular media mocked his achievement and highlighted his errors, especially his espousal of the false prophecies regarding Trump’s reelection in 2020. In these presentations the false prophecies “proved” that all he did was a form of fanatical Evangelicalism.
That a great saint or leader of the Faith falls into false prophecy is not strange or new to the Church, although it surprises Christian who pay little attention to Church history. A relatively recent example of major Christian figure issuing false prophecy is found in the career of David Wilkerson (1931- 2011). He founded Teen Challenge, and was the author of the Cross and the Switchblade, one of the most anointed and influential Christian books in history. But he also issued several false prophecies that could have done serious damage to the budding Charismatic Renewal had they been taken seriously. I discuss this and other issues of false prophecy in my book, America in Danger, Left and Right. Suffice it to say that anyone in Christian leadership position should be warry of issuing prophesies, especially ones that meets one’s hopes, preferences (prejudices) and expectations. Many Christians, like Dr. Robertson, prophesized that Trump would win the 2020 election and serve 8 consecutive years not because they heard from the Holy Spirit, but because they deeply wanted that to be true and mistook their yearnings for the voice of the Spirit. The wave of ridiculous false prophesies that came out of the 2020 election, as in the “Army will arrest and try Biden and Hilary Clinton,” has soiled the believability of true prophecy and added ridicule of the Church, especially in the eyes of unbelievers. Beware.
William DeArteaga when he sold his tv stations I called and they said something about content. The first show on the TV station in Dallas was a war movie. He got lots of money.

Very wise.
Troy Day God speaks to me each and every day; through His Word. I am suspect of any man who claims God speaks directly to him other than through Scripture.
That is one of Pat Robertson’s serious theological flaws:
God never told him any such thing.
The only things he learned are found in Scripture, and PR got a number of those wrong.
Pat Robertson was never good at prophecy and prophecies he gave often failed..
This should be a lesson for all of us..never put into God’s mouth things God never said..
Unfortunately, there are too many would-be prophets out there who believe that God speaks to them, personally.
There are no more prophets and we don’t need any.
The Bible is enough.
Presidential debate
Five Republicans have qualified for the third 2024 presidential debate set for Wednesday in Miami. They are former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. Missing from the debate stage will be North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who both failed to meet the criteria. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who qualified for the first two debates, dropped out of the Republican primary last month. Donald Trump, the front-runner, is skipping the debate as he did the two previous ones. He is slated to host a rally in South Florida as counterprogramming instead. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/07/us/5-things-to-know-for-nov-7-trump-trial-israel-presidential-debate-actors-strike-ukraine/index.html
