JAKES Announces New CBS Talk show in '09!!!

[StMark]

Did you Hear that TD Jakes Announced to his church yesterday that he is going to be doing a talk show on CBS?????

DR PHIL is opening to doors for him - what do you think of that?

Will this be more phyco babble or something that will help people spiritually?

Is Jakes getting more worldy minded???

Anything the church can do to get its name and face from our midst out there is good. Don't see how it can be a bad thing nor the Bishop being worldly minded...at least on the surface it seems alright.

Jakes is for sure about expanding his own kingdom and not God's.

Jakes is a corporation.

I think Bishop Jakes is one of the most powerful preachers I have ever heard. He has such an incredible mind! He thinks OUTSIDE the box that so many narrow minded people try to put him in!
He is so incredibly KINGDOM MINDED and helps and blesses so many people around the world. He is a great example of what a true APOSTOLIC should be!
I admire him and he could care less what midget minded people say about him - he is out doing the work of GOD!
Thank God for BISHOP JAKES! I pray for him to see much more success in the future!

AB, I really like Bishop Jakes as well. I've read some of his books (probably not all) and listened to him speak a few times. But I've also watched him when he appears on Dr. Phil. I hear him give good advice to people. But I have yet to hear him mention how GOD is the answer to their problems. I have to wonder if that same trend will continue if he gets his own show? I hope not. I hope that he speaks the truth on his own show. But we'll have to wait and see.

Dr. Phil has actually kind of changed from when he first appeared on Oprah too.

Some people like him, some don't. Doesn't mean they are narrow minded. And I disagree with some of what you posted, though I really do like to hear him preach.

Jakes is definitely one of the most gifted orators of our time. He really stands alone when it comes to preaching and delivering a sermon. He is truly amazing.


I don't think it's small minded per say to be concerned. But I am willing to see what he does and let the end product speak for itself.

My issue is that I feel we must guard the gifts God has given us, because they are for His glory. I think it is wrong to use God given gifts for other purposes other than anything that would glorify God's kingdom.

So I do hope that God is glorified in all of this, that would be awesome!

The word "megalomania' comes to mind. Jakes is a orator, no doubt. But he comes across to me as incredibly arrogant and I struggle to see in my minds eye that Christ would present himself as Jakes does.
