Pat Robertson 07/30/04

Pat Robertson has for years been the butt of distasteful jokes
and hateful remarks because of his Bible based staunch beliefs
on how people should live and how the country should be run.

First of all, Pat Robertson is first and foremost a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is his job to help as many people find salvation as he possibly can, so it’s only logical that he would talk about right and wrong.

Secondly, Pat is a brilliant man whose father was a United States Senator and he is no stranger to the political world. He is a lawyer and an ivy league educated intellectual, although I’m sure that he doesn’t particularly care about being thought about in that way.

Pat stays on top of current events and issues and his well thought out comments are refreshing for a Christian living in such a secular world.

Pat believes in the power of prayer and the teachings of the Holy Bible and is not ashamed to let the world know about it. His
words and actions are motivated by a great love for mankind.

Pat Robertson does more good in the world in one week than most of his detractors ever accomplish in a lifetime. He started an organization called Operation Blessing which has supplied food to millions of needy people over the years.

One of the most innovative and humane undertakings of Operation Blessing is a mobile hospital on a Boeing 707 airplane outfitted with operating rooms, dentist chairs and all manner of state of the art medical equipment.

The plane is flown to back country third world locations loaded with doctors, dentists and other medical personnel who volunteer their time to bring free medical treatment to people who could never otherwise afford it.

Imagine a child born with cleft palates and other disfiguring
disabilities being shunned and teased for something they had absolutely no control over and no hope of ever having repaired.

Then one day a big airplane lands with doctors who take them in and make them look normal.

Or suppose you live in a village where you have to walk miles just to get a bucket of water and one day a crew shows up and
with a drilling rig and drills a well right there in your village supplying the whole village with clean fresh water.

Or suppose you’re hungry and someone feeds you or need clothes and somebody gives you some.

Pat’s greatest accomplishment is all the lost souls he has helped find the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Pat Robertson is a good man who serves his fellow man in a loving Christian way and some of his critics could learn some eternal lessons from him.

Pray for our troops.
