Is DelGiorno a Christian?

[GaryThompson]

I've gotta agree with you about Joel Osteen. Good preacher. Preaches the love and Grace of God. Don't get me wrong. It's not just a "feel good" doctrine. He spells it out truthfully. But he's balanced.

Do ANY preachers really think that folks are going to get converted to God by hearing that if we vote wrong, he'll smite us?

After all, doesn't scripture say that it's the "GOODNESS" of God that draws men to repentance?

I never knew anyone who entered into an authentic relationship with Christ based solely on fear of judgement and someone SCREAMING IN THEIR FACE. What brought me to Christ was his unconditional love and acceptance of me AS I AM.

Off my soap box.

Pass the offering plate, crackers and juice.

And the jello.

Listen to KRMG Monday morning at 9 AM for that person... Neil Boortz.

Good talk works.  Bad talk doesn't.  It's as simple as that.  There are plenty of successful left wing talk programs.  They're just not on Air America.  Behind Rush Limbaugh, the two most popular talk radio programs are Morning Edition and All Things Considered, both of which definitely cater to the left without being hosted by political hacks.

Since your screen name is kxojdj, I assume you work at KXOJ.  You should be ashamed of yourself for judging Michael in this way and embarrassing your radio station.  "Judge not" his Christianity.  There is a higher power who has taken on that role of judgement.  An employee of KXOJ should know that, I would think.  You owe Michael an apology for voicing such an inappropriate question on a site like this.

If you are a Christian and you are concerned about Michael's spiritual future, call him...invite him to lunch...help him back into the light (if, in fact he has gone astray)  That is what a Christian would do.
