Pastor James McConnell on the Kelly Show

Pastor McConnell is interviewed by Gerry Kelly.
Clip taken from "The Kelly Show". UTV.
Not sure of exact date but late 1990's (possibly 1998).

From one in the USA in the year 2024, I say this pastor hit the nail on the head, so to speak. Many "denominational churches" are dead or dying. Pastor McConnell gave this interview 22 years ago. His commentary is as true today as it was then. He had no special magical programs. What he gave people was biblical preaching. The church grew from 10 people to 5500 people. This was possible only because he was filled with God's spirit. In his final public testimony at the age of 82, he emphasized that to the younger generation who were there. He challenged those young people telling them they can do the same as he did if they let God lead them. Pastor McConnell was an encourager, not a complainer. How many "pastors" today do you know of spend lots of time complaining and attacking other ministers? Pastor McConnell spent much time in prayer, allowing God's spirit to speak to and guide him. That's why God blessed his long ministry.

A lot of great men of God called home this year. 2022 will need a strong church, but where are the real Christian men now?

Amen - Pastor James McConnell. That is very scriptural truth, about Islam.

[@johnking5174]

I bet that I wouldn't be welcomed into the Whitewell Tabernacle. As a gay man, proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, I wonder what the welcome would be like?

[@iamjohnfarlow]

You would be respected, you wouldn’t be turned away, but both Pastor and churchgoer alike will call you to repent.

[@johnking5174]

@@iamjohnfarlow Repent for what? I have done nothing wrong. Which is the exact way I knew I would be treated. Pathetic. Shaming people just because they are LGBTQ+. I bet they would still want my donation. I am proud to be gay. So it seems Christianity has no place for me.

Why should a Pastor like McConnell who claims to work for god go to Sun-beds????

[@bletheringfool]

the pastor was full of baloney

[@gospeljoy5713]

Why do you say that?
