A while ago on the Jim Bakker show, Jim said God has shown me that great and terrible things are about to take place on the Earth, but I have prayed to the Lord that these things don’t come to pass. It’s a no lose comment. Essentially, either I’m a great prophet or God listens closely to my prayers. I don’t see the downside unless it was a lie (my personal guess).

Another pastor on a different show was saying God’s love is unconditional, all you have to do is … . Now I personally believe God’s love is not unconditional. If he doesn’t care what you do, his love is really worthless. However, the comment shows the hypocrisy of the people who profess God’s love as unconditional. They don’t want rules, and religion has become a dirty word. Yet,  all you have to do is say this simple prayer. His love is unconditional, but oh here’s a condition.

Between us the first condition of God’s love is believe. John 3:16.
