That should suggest something to the PC(USA)....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458269118174673968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15361927.post-1143148087539322182006-03-23T15:08:00.000-06:002006-03-23T15:08:00.000-06:00Most people have a hard time getting past the idea...Most people have a hard time getting past the idea of a "glass" church and the "Hour of Power" TV ministry. The building was designed to interest the unchurched to stop by and see what was going on. The same can be said of the TV ministry. The heart of the ministry happens behind the scenes. The worship service designed for "believers" does not happen on Sunday morning. They also have a HUGE Hispanic ministry as well as a preaching school.<BR/><BR/>I do not agree with all the "The Eagle" does and says. However, God has used that ministry to bring thousands to faith in Christ.Pastor Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033083876003654375noreply@blogger.com
