Juanita Bynum, the televangelist/singer has decided to air her marital difficulties with her televangelist husband on two episodes of Divorce Court. She tells the press her marriage is over to Thomas Weeks III. Why would supposed representatives of Christianity choose to air their "dirty laundry" on a program such as Divorce Court? Perhaps the network agreed to give money to her "ministry". This seems to be fairly representative of where modern televangelism is today.
On another subject, Oral Roberts University has been asked to settle the suit brought by two professors who were forced out by the university for alleging financial and ethical wrongdoing by Richard Roberts, the former university president. Several people familar with the lawsuit said that the university had contacted the professors’ lawyers requesting a settlement amount. $2.5 million has been suggested. The overture came after the university was to produce records which would show that two witnesses could prove wrongdoing in the lawsuit. Roberts and his wife Lindsey are accused of spending school funds on shopping sprees, home improvements, and a stable of horses for their daughters. They are also accused of having sent a daughter and her friends on a Bahamas vacation aboard a university jet. The lawsuit also accuses Lindsay Roberts of having spent the night in a school guest house with an underage male nine times. Richard Roberts, son of university founder Oral Roberts, resigned in November, pledging to clear his name. He and his wife have denied wrongdoing.
GOOD GRIEF, CHARLIE BROWN!!

If I’ve been told once, I’ve been told a thousand times by this type of modern day Pharisee: it’s the treat of eternal damnation and otherwise falling from the graces of God that motivates us not to sin. I’ve found Rom. 2:4 to be true in my life where it’s the “kindness of the Lord that leads us to repentence.” His grace is sufficient! That’s all.
