First of all there ain't no free lunch. The books must not be selling very well if you got to throw in the DVD's.
How would we like to hear that kind of hawking going on at our regular church every Sunday. "Sow your seed and get your miracle," according to Richard Roberts and the off track prosperity crew. "God has got a mansion for everyone of you." Yeah, but it ain't here, it's in heaven. Why would we need a mansion anyway? And really what have we done to earn it? I know, I know; God operates on Grace but He wants us to get it. GET IT!!!
I say this and would say it on national TV, watch out for the money scams of the TV preachers and watch out for the false teaching that accompanies most of their preaching.
Not all are bad, just most. There are some like James and Betty Robison who are doing great work. This is not an endorsement. The way to decide whether you support a ministry is to pray on it and see what God says.
Why does Copeland need armed guards around his elaborate Eagle Mountain compound? Why would any church need armed guards? To keep the sinners out? Isn't that who Jesus preached to.
Why did these guys have such a problem complying with Senator Grassley's request on finances. My church's books are always open. No transparency, no trust. Why should they be any different?
