Having grown up in the Pentecostal tradition, it was interesting to hear about it in class. Once again it was sad to hear how things that start with good intentions end up getting muddled. That TV evangelists have tainted the fact that God answers prayers and heals is just sad. That the idea that the Lord rescues us and provides for us in His faithfulness through our dire situation is used for personal financial gain just makes me irate to no degree. I know it's probably extremely naive of me to not know that these things have been happening from way back when. But it's kind of like racism - in today's day and age, how can such horribleness exist? It's just sad.
