Bring It On-Line: - January 30, 2017 Read Transcript


PAT ROBERTSON: All right.

Well, we've got some questions to "Bring it on" at this point.

Pat, this is from Brian who says,

"I am a Christian young man who tries to visit church

as much as possible, but I'm not sure

if our pastor's doing a good job.

He always asks this congregation for money.

At first, we thought this money was going to our church.

But it turns out that our pastor used some for a strip club.

We asked him about this, and he denied everything.

Still, we have a witness who saw him take the money from church

before going into the strip club.

What should we do?

Do we let this be or ask for help?"

I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to be in that pastor's place

for all the money in the world.

You take God's money and use it in a strip club?

Yeah.

You don't let that be [INAUDIBLE].

You ask the question, I'd get out of that church.

That thing is corrupt.

And the fact that the elders haven't fired the guy,

they should have brought a legal action against him

if he's taken money.

You take nonprofit money and put it

in your own pocket, that is a bad thing.

But get out of that and get to a place where they love God,

and they're honest and honorable in their dealings, all right?

This is Jennifer who says, "In Luke 8 and Mark 5,

there is the story of Jesus healing Jairus' daughter.

What I don't understand is why Jesus told them strictly not

to tell anyone what happened.

How could they not let people know what Jesus did for them?"

Well, look.

There are different times.

The pressure in those days was to make him king.

They didn't want a Savior spiritual.

They wanted a political leader to rise up against Rome.

That's what they wanted.

That's what they thought the Messiah was going to do.

And so the danger of every time he did a miracle or something

like that was the crowd would say,

well, we want to make you king.

And Jesus didn't want that, so they said, look,

just chill over there on the side.

Keep it quiet.

And I've done my thing, and I want to keep on doing it,

but I'm here spiritually.

I am not a political leader, and I'm not going to be king.

That's what it was all about.
