Robert Schuller ousts son from the "Hour of Power" TV show

Sunday October 26, 2008

Robert Schuller had given his son his ministry but now he has taken it back and no one seems to know why. Did the son stray from his father's teaching in a good way (preaching the gospel?) or in a bad way (further apostasy?), no one knows and neither of them are talking:

The Rev. Robert H. Schuller removed his son Saturday as preacher on the syndicated "Hour of Power" television show less than three years after handing over to him the ministry he began more than 50 years ago.

Schuller announced the removal of his son, Robert A. Schuller, in a statement read to some 450 Crystal Cathedral congregants by Jim Coleman, the church's president.

"It is no secret to any of you that my son, Robert, and I have been struggling as we each have different ideas as to the direction and the vision for this ministry," his statement read.

"For this lack of shared vision and the jeopardy in which this is placing this entire ministry, it has become necessary for Robert and me to part ways."

I don't watch the show so I have no idea if he remained faithful to his father's power of positive thinking type preaching or not. Do any of you guys watch the show and know what the son's been up to?

I was always inspired by the senior. His sermons were uplifting, and boosted me at a very difficult time in my life. Unfortunately, the son lacks any life in his lectures. Dull, and without emotion, even if he had more of the gospel in his speech, I saw less of the Lord. Unfortunately,Sr. did not see this earlier. His blindness let this ministry run to the ground.

Robert Jr.used the word 'Jesus' too much, and that isn't popular today, because it means talking about sin, repentance, and hell for all who disbelieve. Robert Sr. preached something everyone could enjoy, a more palatable religeous version. You could go to church every Sunday and never know how to get to heaven. Robert Jr.'s version brought in much less money, because it was less popular, hence, his father fired him. Its all about money and big business today. And to hell with everyone else, literally.

Robert Sr. may have brought in more money than his son but anytime you leave out the name of JESUS from your sermons, you are not preaching the tru gospel. It's only because of the sacrifices of Gods son "JESUS" that we have salvation. Jesus said "I am the way & the light" z9aks7
