The devil will try to tell you not to answer this letter, but don t listen to him. This letter is anointed of the Lord. I feel this letter is a message directly from God to you. The latest trend in fund-raising that even some credible ministries are resorting to, is the petition and the survey. If these ministries were really interested in your answers they would send you a post card, not an envelope for your response.
Some ministries send out petitions or surveys with virtually all of their letters.
One who consistently uses this tactic is D. James Kennedy. Some otherwise solid ministries include Don Wildmon s American Family Association, the Rutherford Institute, and Pat Robertson s Christian Coalition. The National Right to Life Committee also asks for petitions to be sent to them instead of to the government body that they claim they ll forward them to. But to hoodwink people into believing that you really care about their opinion, in order to separate them from their money, is down right dishonest in my opinion. He suggests that people pray to see if God is really speaking to their hearts before giving and not to be manipulated.
