If we use God as a tactic to further our careers, it is undoubtedly wrong. Rev. Billy Graham, for example- I believe him to be a Christian and a valuable worker for God and Jesus. However, should he plan a speaking conference, just to get some good publicity or because it's gonna be a big payday - then it is wrong. Most televangelists, I believe, tend to do what will further their name, thus using their faith and God instead of the other way around.
