I have only heard Paula White a handful of times (and probably not the entire sermon/lesson). While I can hardly stand to hear her preach, I have to admit that her TEACHING is encouraging and uplifting. I do not recall hearing her ever say anything that was at great odds with our standard understanding.Many years ago, I heard that T.L. Lowery was coming to Tampa to preach at a church somewhere or another. I went and enjoyed it! There were probably not more than 60-100 people there, but the Whites (having attended National Church of God) had invited him to come speak. Some time after that, they went BIG. I recall that they would take a bus into a community and, as best I could tell, they truly tried to benefit those people.I know there are all kinds of criticism regarding them--and some may be well-justified. But from MY perspective, they came up the right way. That is, they truly had very humble beginnings in Tampa, and they worked diligently and fruitfully. God blessed them with members who were professional athletes who made generous donations.Some of us who pastor very modest churches likely have some folks who don't have much good to say about us, let alone when you are leading a massive endeavor. The Whites made some missteps, for sure. It might be that I gave them more of the benefit of the doubt because of their Church of God roots, but I liked them just fine.
