FameRank: 6

"Jimmy Lee Swaggart" is an American Pentecostal pastor, teacher, musician, author, and televangelist. He has preached to crowds around the world through his weekly telecast. According to the official website for Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, his 1980s telecast was transmitted to over 3,000 stations and cable systems each week.

Sexual scandals in the late 1980s and early 1990s led the General Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States of America/Assemblies of God to defrock him, and to Swaggart temporarily stepping down as the head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.

Swaggart's television ministry, which began in 1975, continues airing in the US and internationally. The weekly Jimmy Swaggart Telecast and A Study in the Word programs are broadcast throughout the US and on 78 channels in 104 other countries, and over the Internet.

The Media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that.

Plato's system was . . . rent by an irreconcilable dualism of mind and body, spirit and matter, good and evil, with all of his great ideas unable to bridge this gulf. He could see the ideal, but he could not bring it to pass.

Philosophies change by the day while God never changes, simply because, being perfect, He does not have to change!

If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell.

The minister of the Gospel is really the yardstick by which the nation measures its morals.
