I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Financial Discernment of Ministries

Those Christian organizations who don't allow Christian Auditors to review their books is a sign of deceit. I won't donate to any Organization that is not audited by an independent auditor or auditors. One thing I know of, many non-Christians non-profit organizations have open their books to the public. Why can't Christians? Are Christians hiding like the Pharisees did with their money? Many of TBN programs and of cours THE TBN do not have accountability. If you go to ECFA's website and do a "search" on each of TBN programs' financial information and of course TBN's finanical records, you will find that many of them are not members of ECFA. If they are not opening their books, their are hiding their wealth. How many organizations, preachers and etc are willing to allow other to check on their ethics and have their financial records audited by Christians Auditors? For example of accountibility, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is one of the Charter members of the Evangelical Council For Financial Accountability (Since 12/1/1979).
