Can creativity be shy on "Gray matter"?

The Grays hold-forth in south Kansas City.

Regardless the humor, creativity, and subjective appropriateness of The Steve and Kathy Show, It is plainly evident, resulting from some further research, that the Grays continue in the mode of their nearly fifteen years old charismatic/charismaniacal extravagances.

I supply a pertinent example of their ongoing complicity with the charismatic fringe lunatic types (read: Word of Faith, name it – claim it):

This, from a 04/24/02 ‘release’:

Kenneth Copeland, speaking to an overflow crowd, dedicated the House of Hope and Healing at World Revival Church Friday, April 19th. "Momentous...faith building...historic..." were the words audibly spoken in the crowd as so many gathered to hear who most consider "an Apostle of faith." (bold type & color text mine)

In his introduction, Pastor Steve Gray voiced the sentiments of many when he said, "Kenneth Copeland, through the work of the Holy Spirit, has upped the ante in Christianity so that all of us get to live better....all of us get to live in the blessings of Abraham. He has turned the course of the river over the years so that it blesses all of us and has affected churches all over the world to understand the attitude that God has towards His children." (again, bold type & color text mine)

And this:

These three myths may be destroying your life!
1) More money will ruin you.
2) More power will ruin you.
3) You're okay right where you're at.
Sound familiar? "The success went to his head"…. "He was a great guy until he got rich"… "He should have just stayed where he was at!" These sneaky little myths are exactly what may be limiting the effectiveness of your life.
Here's the real truth of the matter: God is a God of INCREASE – not a God of the status quo. He is not holding you back from success because "it will ruin you." HE WANTS YOU TO SUCCEED AND INCREASE IN LIFE! What did God do at the very beginning of the world? He increased! He wasn’t happy with the status quo and so He created something. Light BE! Fish and animals BE! And He made man in His creative, increasing image. What was God's first command to Adam? INCREASE! MULTIPLY! Fill the earth! And that's what He's still saying to His people. God wants you to prosper, He wants you to flourish in your jobs, your relationships, even in your physical strength and vigor.
Still don't believe it? Still happy with the same old paycheck every week? The same family gatherings that leave you empty and regretting? The same old routine in church…where nothing ever changes and NOTHING ever happens? (bold, color text - mine)

God “increased”? So, now He’s bigger? What is the nature of the “increase” that God most desires in those who are His? Surely not $$$, surely not in life-style and material wealth. I’m thoroughly convinced that, at best, this kind of drivel is bound to produce nothing more than “short term gain – long term loss”. Maybe he should re-address the issue of the type of increase that God is most ‘complicit’ in. ”NOTHING ever happens” – in the God exalting, God glorifying ‘means of grace’ that God commands, that is, the regular gathering of His people, for prayer, praise, public reading of the scriptures, and for the preaching of His Word? Read again: Short term gain – long term loss.

Last, but by no means least, this, from a post on Steve Gray’s blog:

…..“Maybe you didn't know that even God doesn't always get his way. It wasn't his will for sin to enter the world, but sin entered anyway through mankind's actions. Let's keep that in mind as our God is trying to do great things in the world to show himself strong and mighty to the nations.” (bold, italics, color text – all mine)

HUH!!? What a ‘TRY & FAIL’ god WE serve!!? I'm glad those words aren’t mine. You find the links if you want to pursue the Gray matter.
