Paula White Fakes it on Larry King Live
By J. Grant Swank Jr. (11/27/07)
Larry King's interview with evangelist Paula White revealed what is so common. It was the uncovering of a rich televangelist actress who uses Jesus for her own luxurious lifestyle.
This is sickening. It is so because it is so often repeated throughout televangelists' histories.
Now the government is checking into Christian ministries to figure out who is true and who is fake. Paula White is one of the fakes.
On Larry King Live there were numerous visual excepts of her platform ministerial style. It is raucous, unladylike, pandering to the revved up audience of thousands and just plain religious showmanship.
Paula White is now divorced from her televangelist husband, Randy. I don’t want to get into all that for that surely is another chapter of intricacies.
But what was shown on Larry King Live via Paula White’s own visuals and verbiage uncovered a slippery tongue from a wealthy, money-hungry woman.
When Larry asked her pointedly about money and ministry, she was as smooth tongued as any mobster. She did not answer his questions. She slid all around them, smiling all the while.
This woman is not trustworthy. She is clever. She is intelligent. She has come from poverty and childhood pain; but that does not excuse for one moment that she is a religious charlatan out for the dollar.
And the dollar has certainly come her way—jet, homes, wardrobes and the rest of the materialistic closet set up for too many televangelists.
Jesus must grieve. He is the One who had no place to lay His head. He promised His disciples that their reward was in heaven. He did not preach a health-wealth “gospel” that was due His own.
Jesus was sold out to emptying Himself of heaven’s coffers in order to take on the scorned redemptive ministry. It cost Him His life. It was a journey fraught with betrayal and taunts from the foes—those from His own temple and religion.
Jesus never displayed the opulent lifestyle that too many televangelists today are known for. There is no theological game playing that they can manufacture to condone their materialistic obscenities.
And Paula White on Larry King Live this evening displayed herself as one of those prancing, shouting, microphone-carrying hawkers for her own purse. God help her. She needs it.
Judgment Day will reveal her ministry motives to have fallen far short of Calvary’s broken body.
