Power, money and privilege can corrupt anyone. Many Christian television ministries have fallen prey to this.There's a price to be paid if you want to enjoy the "world" and serve God also. The Bible says a lot about this; just look at the rise and fall of the Davidic dynasty from David to Solomon to Rehoboam. It's more complicated than all these people being Elmer Gantry-like figures. It should be a cautionary tale to any and all who seek to do good, serve God or change the landscape of politics.
