Senate to Investigate Televangelists
So this is interesting. Charles Grassley (R-IA) has begun an investigation of 6 televangelists:
Joyce Meyer
Creflo Dollar
Benny Hinn
Eddie Long
Kenneth & Gloria Copeland
Randy & Paula White
All of these would be representative of the "prosperity gospel," a theology that says that God wants you to prosper (get rich), but only if you are willing to give to God's kingdom, which of course, means giving to the televangelist's ministry, which, oddly enough, makes the preacher prosper and proves his point. It's a great scheme. It'll be interesting to see if something substantive comes out of the senator's investigation.
It is also interesting to see which televangelists are NOT on the list.
