T D Jakes is one of the leading preachers of our time. In one of his most recent interviews he talks about wealth, the recession, women, President Obama and Christianity.
Q: What do you say to people who tell you, “I’ve been faithful, and now I’ve lost my job and my house?” Is it wrong for Christians to expect earthly rewards along with heavenly rewards?
JAKES: After 52 years of living, I’ve learned that all Christians should come to realize that God sends us blessings, but he also sends us tests and challenges. It’s a misrepresentation to think we’re going to get all of one and none of the other. Life has a way of bringing both sorrow and success in our lives. Sometimes the test is not how much we get of either, but how we manage both. Financial success, academic success, those don’t exempt us from personal maladies.
Q: So there’s no contradiction in being a rich Christian?
JAKES: You’re going to have Christians who are successful and Christians who are not. Just like you have Muslims who are successful and Muslims who are not. We’re not a monolith. There are so many factors besides whether someone is Christian. Are you educated? Are you entrepreneurial?

On the TD Jakes website it states he will be at IGOC 29th & 31st at 7:30 PM & 11:00 AM. This has not been confirmed by anyone official but we just wanted to see if we could help our loyal readers. |

PREACHING
When it comes to spiritual guidance for President Barack Obama five heads could be better than one.
According to the NY Times, Obama prefers to consult a team of evangelical pastors instead of one spiritual advisor.
That team has counseled him through private prayer sessions on the telephone and for discussions on the role of religion in politics.
President without a church home
The president has been without a pastor or a church home since he cut ties to Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. in the heat of the presidential campaign. And despite being slow to choose a church home in Washington, D.C., Obama has received spiritual guidance from a collective.
Let us pray for Mr President
The 5 advisers are all men
All are men, two of them white and three black – including Rev. Otis Moss, Jr., a graying lion of the civil rights movement; the entrepreneurial dynamos Bishop T.D. Jakes and Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, who also served as occasional spiritual advisers to President George W. Bush; and Rev. Jim Wallis, who leans left on some issues such as military intervention and poverty programs, but opposes abortion.
