We don’t have to worry now that Donald Trump has a new spiritual advisor, Paula White. They both have similar problems, been married 3 times, etc., love money.Ought to be an interesting 4 years.Just read where Trump asked congress to come up with pay for the wall. He has come up with very wealthy cabinet picks for the Swamp and looks like he may support reductions in Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security all of which he stated he would not touch.Ought to be an interesting 4 years.
He might get a really long list. If I were president, Paula White would probably not even be in my consideration set for such a thing. But I don’t know if its a good match. Trump wants a wall. Paula White was from ‘the church without walls.’ I saw a video where he had about a dozen Charismatic preachers praying for him. I don’t recall who all it was, but I’d imagine Paula White is better looking than the rest of them, and female. I just looked it up and she’s 50, btw, which is pretty amazing. I’d imagine she’s got some skilled people helping her________________
Paula White is an Acts favorite person to have advising Trump. Sometimes we get what we want and sometimes we get something we thought we wanted.
Dems are to blame.If they hadn’t selected the absolute worst candidate ever to run for President – no way Trump could have won________________
Looks like NBF is going to blame Democrats for everything bad that Republicans say or do. Now there’s a man that doesn’t want Truth.
Obama has been my leader for 8 years.I have become like him.Never my fault.If Obama had a son, he would be just like me. ________________
Good one, NBF. I needed that!
But I remember visiting their church in Tampa back before they had become a mega church. I went to hear T. L. Lowery preach. It was a very modest-sized church in a VERY modest part of town. If she got ahead by working hard and trying to reach people for Jesus, and if she made some bad decisions in her life, and if she somehow had enough good to say that it began to life her life, then GREAT! I imagine that most of us have made bad decisions, too. I’m not going to disqualify someone from having a ministry (or WANTING them to have a ministry) so long as I feel that they are not acting cynically.
Aaron say whut?
I think the issue is that when one of our own has the slightest issue, we are ready to condemn them and run them out of the church. But, the celebrities get a pass. If a COG pastor had a Facebook page like Paula White, some of you would bring charges against them.
Re: Don’t know much about Paula White, but…
It’s called doctrine, or the need thereof And what doctrine has she broken? Has she declared that Jesus is not Lord?Has she rejected that the scriptures are inspired?Has she said that God is not a healer?

but…I know a lot about Pastor White personally and from some others involved with her. Let’s just say her doctrine is extremely shaky but beyond that her personal values are NOT what we would consider something we might want to emulate.True story. One of our former students who is a great young man and a powerful evangelist called me one day for some advice. Evangelists are struggling to get bookings (especially those who are just starting out) and though he is semi well known in some circles he was in that boat of financial struggle and with a new small family to provide for too. He had been approached and offered a job as the Youth Pastor for Paula White’s church in Orlando (New Destiny). He wanted to know what I thought about it. I told him to run, not walk away. Told him I thought her ethics if not her doctrine was poor. He listened politely but indicated he thought he could make an impact with the 700-1000 youth he would be ministering to each week and thought he could handle it. I prayed with him and left it there. Read Jer 42
That is an awful story, Brotherjames, but I have to say I am not surprised.Lest we forget, Randy & Paula White were in the Church of God back in the day, & he was a protege of Bro Lowery. They both could preach pretty good at one time. I used to listen to Paula but haven’t for several years. I did hear her say years ago that she was invited (years ago) to do Bible studies at Trump Towers and that someone in Trump’s family, either his mother or grandmother was Pentecostal. So there is a bit of history there.It’s kind of scary that he might listen to Paula about the Bible, but at the same time, it gives me hope that he at least has some respect and reverence for the Bible and evangelicals, unlike the person who has been in office the last 8 years.Even if Paula can’t give him good advice, I would think that Franklin Graham, Samuel Rodiguez or Jentzen Franklin could. And if God could use a donkey..________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
