A Good, Good Day

I had the blessing of spending yesterday in the company of good Christian people.

I had gone to Virginia Beach to do interviews on The Christian Broadcasting Network to publicize the release of my autobiography, Never Look at the Empty Seats, on October 24.

I started off the day with an interview with Pat Robertson on the The 700 Club, Pat is one of my Christian heroes, a true man of God who has spent his life preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and reaching lost souls all over the world.

Pat is now 86 years old and still very much on fire for the Lord, still preaching the word, praying for the sick, leading people to the Lord and keeping a very demanding schedule hosting the 700 Club.

CBN is much more than a television network, it includes a social media outreach, an extensive prayer ministry and Operation Blessing, an organization that is always among the first responders at any natural or man-made tragedy, distributing food, water and other basics plus prayer and spiritual comfort to the afflicted.

Operation Blessing receives very little recognition from the media, but along with Franklin Graham�s Samaritan�s Purse, they are always on the scene immediately and the money that is contributed to those organizations is used effectively, efficiently and is totally accounted for.

I also did Gordon Robertson�s 700 Club Interactive, CBN Facebook Live and an extensive interview with Scott Ross for a later airing.

It is also the home of Regents University, where future leaders of commerce, law and politics can get a meaningful degree and openly practice their Christianity, in the company of like-minded students where prayer and Christian counseling are part of the curriculum.

The 700 Club has been on the air for over fifty years, and got its name from an early appeal for funds to stay on the air at the one TV station Pat was on at the time, WYAH, when he asked that 700 viewers contribute ten dollars apiece per month.

The 700 viewers complied and Pat started calling them the �700 Club�, the name stuck and the rest is history.

CBN has branches in many parts of the world, broadcasting the gospel of Jesus Christ in the viewers native language and helping to fulfill the Lord�s command to preach the gospel in all the world.

The scope of their worldwide ministry is truly impressive and the parts visible to the general public truly are the tip of a very large iceberg.

I was asked to speak at a Chapel Service yesterday, a first for me. I read the chapter from my book that I had written about my faith, took questions from the audience and ended up singing Amazing Grace with the Chapel band.

As I reviewed the day, I thought about it as being the most spiritual day I had experienced in a long time, surrounded by believers, speaking about my faith and acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It is good to be among brothers and sisters, but it is even more important to take that experience back out into the world and share it.

It is my belief that, since God is just, everybody on earth will have an opportunity to accept the salvation of Jesus, it is my prayer that they accept it.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

Diamond Mining
Wasn't there a claim that Operation Blessing also transported diamond mining equipment for Pat Robertson?

Dana, like it or not Pat Robertson is a gem of a person. In 2013 The Guardian which made the claim, retracted it and made a donation to Operation Blessing. Remember, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.nuff said God Bless Plowboy

A Good Day
Sometimes we just have to set aside some time and spend it with good, Bible believing people. It's refreshing and encouraging especially with this world being the way it is. I'm glad you had a good day and I have no doubt you helped give some others a good day as well.

Goodbye
The Guardian apologized for claiming that Operation Blessing provided no medical help in Zaire, not that Robertson used the planes to move diamond mining equipment. It is getting more and more difficult to write as my posts are blocked so this is my last.

Venues of faith
Robertson and CBN are both worthy for their value. His take on news, and what is going in the world news, is often found nowhere else. We may all have our own opportunity to share our faith, but there is something about simple friendship with other Christians that is also a chance to replenish and take stock. CBN provides some of that to a wide audience, as does Franklin Graham. We aren't all able or qualified on that level but the Good Book is clear on the on the people he can use.

700 club
I would like to know more about how the 700 club has helped people in need acroos the country .I think sometimes we need to see the good that these organizations have done . I should say specifics that have helped people in need. we more often hear the bad or negative feed back from these organizations . We don't hear in the media about the true Hero's in the world and their are plenty of them.
