Best Sermon you've ever heard?

Well it hasn't been preached yet.... But it would be ...... "Democrats Lose The House & Senate & Obama Resigns."

Now my friend that would be the best ever! The reason for Obama resigning would be similar to Nixon's....He lied!

You are partially correct. However the first time was the big one, not played down at all. That was with the prostitute. The second time was a year or two later when a cop pulled him over in California in a rental car and he had porno magazines in the car. That was the "played down" one if any of the two were played down. Actually rather than played down it was just that no one was shocked any longer by anything he did.

I'll always love Jimmy Swaggart.

A few years ago I was driving back from Texas to Tennessee and while passing through Arkansas was channel surfing on the radio when I came across a rootin tootin spittin hollarin obviously Pentecostal preacher. After listening a few minutes I was just sure I had stumbled across some ultra con UPC or AMF guy.

He started trashing several major Charismatic ministries and preached so "hard" I was cringing. Everybody were awful rotten hypocrites, yada, yada, yada.

At the end of the program I was shocked to find out I had been listening to Jimmy Swaggers son Donny. He certainly did not have the gift of oratory that his father had. Once I knew who it was I think I realized why the deep hatred and resentment towards other successful charismatic ministries. Those guys were still very successful while his father was not.

BTW we have an AFF member whose daughter dated one of JS's sons or grandsons. I forget which.

Oh, and as far as JS goes I would have had some respect for him if he had come clean and repented on his on. He did not do so until he was exposed. I watched that Sunday program live where he cried those big ole crocodile tears and wailed that he had "sinned against my God". Well he had been sinning against his God for some time and had kept right on preaching hellfire and damnation for others with no effect on himself. Only when he was exposed did he suddenly have regret and repentence in his heart. That is the way it is with most of the Pentecostal preachers who commit sexual sin. No sorrow until they are caught and see their ministries and livlihoods going down the drain. When JS got caught his program was on 3,000 television stations and cable channels each week. That was huge by any standard.

Donnie Swaggart in this clip says Obama is a demon controlled Phillistine and hes got his .45 loaded and ready. Don't think I've ever heard anything more hardcore than that over the pulpit.

How much you wanna bet Bother Donnie is on the Secret Service watch list? He is the kind of nut that gives fundamentalist evangelical Christians a bad name.
