The Jimmy Swaggart Ministries owns and operates the SonLife Dissemination Network (SBN) and he is the senior pastor of Family Worship Center located on Blueish Bonnet Blvd. in Billy Rouge, Louisiana.

Early life [edit]

Jimmy Lee Swaggart was born on March 15, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana,[five] to dabble role player and Pentecostal preacher Willie Leon (known as "Dominicus" or "Son") Swaggart and Minnie Bell, daughter of sharecropper William Herron. They were related by wedlock, every bit the maternal uncle of Son was Elmo Lewis, and was married to her sister Mamie. The extended family had a complex network of interrelationships: "cousins and in-laws and other relatives married each other until the clan was entwined like a big, tight brawl of rubber bands."[6] [seven] [8]

He is the cousin of Rock-a-Billy pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis and land music star Mickey Gilley.[nine] He also had a sister, Jeanette Ensminger (1942–1999). With his parents, Swaggart attended a small Assemblies of God church in Ferriday.

In 1952, anile 17, Swaggart married 15 year-old Frances Anderson whom he met in church while he was playing music with his begetter. They have a son named Donnie. Swaggart worked several office-time odd jobs to support his young family unit and likewise began singing Southern Gospel music at various churches.

According to his autobiography "To Cross a River", Swaggart, forth with his wife and son, lived in poverty during the 1950s as he preached throughout rural Louisiana, struggling to survive on an income of $30 a week (equivalent to $280 in 2020). Being too poor to own a home, the Swaggarts lived in church basements, homes of pastors, and small motels. Sun Records producer Sam Phillips wanted to start a gospel line of music for the characterization (mayhap to remain in competition with RCA Victor and Columbia, who also had gospel lines at the time) and wanted Swaggart for Sun as the get-go gospel artist for the characterization.

His cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, who had previously signed with Sun, was reportedly earning $20,000 per week at the time. Although the offer meant a promise for significant income for him and his family, Swaggart turned Phillips down, stating that he was chosen to preach the gospel.[x]

Ordination and early career [edit]

Preaching from a flatbed trailer donated to him, Swaggart began full-fourth dimension evangelistic work in 1955. He began developing a revival-meeting following throughout the American South. In 1960, he began recording gospel music record albums and transmitting on Christian radio stations. In 1961, Swaggart was ordained past the Assemblies of God; a twelvemonth later on he began his radio ministry. In the late 1960s, Swaggart founded what was so a pocket-size church named the Family Worship Eye in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; the church eventually became commune-affiliated with the Assemblies of God.

In 1971, Swaggart began transmitting a weekly 30-infinitesimal telecast over various local television receiver stations in Baton Rouge and also purchased a local AM radio station, WLUX (now WPFC). The station broadcast Christian feature stories, preaching and education to diverse fundamentalist and Pentecostal denominations and playing blackness gospel, Southern gospel, and inspirational music. As Gimmicky Christian music became more prevalent, the station avoided playing it. Swaggart sold many of his radio stations gradually throughout the 1980s and early on 1990s. Jimmy Swaggart Ministries however operates several radio stations that operate nether the name Sonlife Radio.

Nonetheless, he is known for his comprehend of Chuck Girard'southward song "Sometimes Alleluia", which Swaggart used every bit the theme to his weekly and flagship namesake program. Girard himself beingness one of the pioneers of contemporary Christian music.

Swaggart wrote a book, Religious Rock northward Roll: A Wolf in Sheep'south Wearable, in 1987.[xi]

In his monthly periodical known as "The Evangelist" he wrote against worldliness in worship music, particularly referring to a Carman concert.[12]

He also mentioned in the article that Christian leaders were in "terrible opposition" with him for preaching the truth against contemporary Christian music and its artists.

Swaggart has frequently preached that God does not borrow from the world to accomplish the youth, but has since changed his position on contemporary Christian music and has integrated its audio and manner in his worship services such as Hillsong.

Shifting to television [edit]

By 1975, the television set ministry had expanded to more stations around the United States, and he began to utilize television as his primary preaching forum. In 1978, the weekly telecast was increased to an hour.

In 1980, Swaggart began a daily weekday telecast featuring Bible study and music, and the weekend, hour-long telecast included a service from either Family Worship Center (Swaggart's church building) or an on-location crusade in a major city. In the early 1980s, the broadcasts expanded to major cities nationwide. By 1983, more than than 250 television stations broadcast the telecast.

Prostitution scandals [edit]

In 1988, Swaggart was accused of a sex scandal involving a prostitute initially resulting in his suspension, and ultimately defrocking, by the Assemblies of God. Three years later Swaggart was implicated in another scandal involving prostitution. As a consequence, Swaggart's ministry building became nonaffiliated, nondenominational, and significantly smaller than it was in the ministry's pre-scandal years.[13] [14] [15]

Feud with Marvin Gorman [edit]

Swaggart's start exposure was in retaliation for an incident in 1986 when he exposed young man Assemblies of God minister Marvin Gorman, whom he accused of having several diplomacy. One time he was exposed, Gorman was defrocked from the Assemblies of God, and his ministry was all but concluded.[16] Gorman filed a successful lawsuit against Swaggart for defamation and conspiracy to ruin his reputation which led to the honour of amercement amounting to $10 one thousand thousand in 1991,[17] reduced after an appeal and an out-of-court settlement to $1.75 million.[18]

However, as a retaliatory measure, Gorman hired his son Randy and son-in-police Garland Bilbo to lookout man the Travel Inn on Airline Highway in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans.[19] A camera with a telephoto lens was placed in the window of the cabin's Room 12, and draped with a black fabric. When Swaggart arrived, he reportedly went into Room vii. Randy Gorman and Garland Bilbo let the air out of the tires on Swaggart's vehicle. They called Marvin Gorman, whose church was located nearby. Randy Gorman and Garland Bilbo had taken photos of Swaggart outside Room seven with Debra Murphree,[14] [20] a local prostitute. Gorman arrived at the Travel Inn a short while later and confronted Swaggart, although on details accounts from both sides differed.[21]

According to Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist, by Ann Rowe Seaman, Gorman secured a promise from Swaggart that he would publicly apologize to Gorman and first the process of Gorman's reinstatement to the Assemblies of God. Gorman offered to remain silent if Swaggart would state publicly that he lied well-nigh Gorman'southward affairs. Gorman waited almost a year, and then hand-delivered a note to Swaggart informing him his time was up; Swaggart did not respond. On February 16, 1988, Gorman contacted James Hamil, one of the xiii-man Executive Presbytery of the Assemblies of God, who called G. Raymond Carlson, the Assemblies Superintendent. Carlson summoned Hamill and Gorman to fly to Assemblies of God headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, and arranged for an emergency meeting of the presbyters. He was shown photos of several men coming in and going out of Room seven at the Travel Inn Cabin in New Orleans. This was washed to establish that the room was beingness used for prostitution. One of the men shown leaving Room 7 was Swaggart.[22] The presbytery leadership of the Assemblies of God decided that Swaggart should be suspended from broadcasting his television receiver programme for three months.[ citation needed ]

According to the Associated Printing, Murphree, who claimed to have posed nude for Swaggart, failed a polygraph test administered by a New York Urban center Police Department polygraph skillful.[23] The examination ambassador ended that Murphree had failed to tell the truth on all key questions apropos her statement. The test was administered after Murphree offered to sell the story to the National Enquirer for $100,000. Paul Levy, senior editor for the Enquirer, stated that the polygraph examiner had ended Murphree was not truthful on six primal questions, including i in which she was reportedly asked if she had fabricated the story. Levy stated that the Enquirer decided not to impress her story due to the test results, her drug use, and the fact that she had abort warrants in three states. Murphree failed questions about whether she was paid or promised money to "set up" Swaggart, and whether she made upwardly the story to brand coin from it.[24]

Swaggart'south confession and defrocking [edit]

This image of Swaggart brought to tears while delivering his "I have sinned" speech communication has become a symbolic analogy of the televangelist scandals of the late 1980s.

On Feb 21, 1988, without giving any details regarding his transgressions, Swaggart delivered what came to be known equally his "I accept sinned" speech on live television. He spoke tearfully to his family, congregation, Tv set audition, and concluded it with a prayer, "I accept sinned confronting You, my Lord, and I would ask that Your Precious Blood ... would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgetfulness never to exist remembered against me whatever more."[xiv] [25]

The Louisiana presbytery of the Assemblies of God initially suspended Swaggart from the ministry for three months. The national presbytery of the Assemblies of God soon extended the suspension to their standard two-year suspension for sexual immorality. His render to the pulpit coincided with the end of a three-month suspension originally ordered by the denomination. Assertive that Swaggart was not genuinely repentant in submitting to their authorisation, the bureaucracy of the Assemblies of God defrocked him, removing his credentials and ministerial license.[26]

Swaggart and so became an contained and not-denominational Pentecostal minister, establishing Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, based at the Family unit Worship Eye in Billy Rouge, Louisiana, and the Sonlife Dissemination Network (SBN) which tin can be seen in the United states and other countries.[27]

1991 scandal [edit]

On Oct xi, 1991, Swaggart was found in the visitor of a prostitute for a second time. He was pulled over past a constabulary officeholder in Indio, California, for driving on the wrong side of the road. With him in the vehicle was a woman named Rosemary Garcia. According to Garcia, Swaggart had stopped to propose sex activity to her on the side of the road. She later told reporters: "He asked me for sex. I mean, that's why he stopped me. That's what I do. I'm a prostitute."[28] This time, rather than confessing of his sins to his congregation, Swaggart told those at Family Worship Center, "The Lord told me it's apartment none of your business."[29] Swaggart's son Donnie then appear to the audience that his father would be temporarily stepping downwardly as head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for "a time of healing and counseling".[30]

Trivia [edit]
