Thanks Kris, for the article.
I've been saying this nearly same thing for thirty years; but notably, the
"right" doesn't hear, because they don't want to hear... they like to stay
wrapped in their blanket of false traditions. They choose to remain
ignorant, as Paul, Jeremiah and Isaiah all put it.
Gene Scott once said in 1983, "TBN will become the mouth piece of the false
prophet(s) and the antichrist, and not even realize it". And so it is.
