Chrislam: One World Religion Emerging DVD (DERV) Chrislam: One World Religion Emerging VHS (VERV) Send a gift of $24.95 Running Time: 100 minutes CC Chrislam: T h e O n e W o r l d R e l i g i o n E m e r g i n g by Dr. Jack Van Impe Rexella and I just watched the one-hour-40-minute Bible study we taped and ended up with tears streaming down our faces. During our marriage, we have produced 150 video studies and books. However, this DVD — we both believe — has such an anointing of the Holy Spirit upon us that we became overwhelmed with emotion and praise. We believe this is the last and final sign concerning the arrival of the leader of the one world religion [emerging] with the rise of the one world government [the New World Order], which signals our days on earth to be very few … because before this blasphemous world religion appears, believers will have been raptured. Praise the Lord, it’s near! I believe this video study will be used by thousands after the evacuation of God’s children occurs. We believe the anointed words God laid on our hearts will live on as a witness to the world for years to come. We now begin this message with the television promo Dr. Chuck Ohman will present to 247 nations weekly: Today’s video offer is undoubtedly the most powerful, and undeniably the most insightful, work the Van Impes ever created. Why? It deals with the final sign pointing to the imminent return of Christ. Here’s why: The Antichrist and false prophet cannot appear to control the world politically or religiously until the Rapture occurs and believers are removed. Dr. Van Impe dogmatically and prophetically believes that June 26, 2011, was the beginning of the countdown to the most momentous event in history, Christ’s return. On that date, churches met in 26 states to begin the union of Christianity and Islam — called Chrislam. In this video study, entitled Chrislam: One World Religion Emerging, Dr. and Mrs. Van Impe have documented the most shocking information ever taped using more than 30 political and religious leaders who document and verify every word spoken, including: Billy Graham, Robert Schuller, Rick Warren, President Obama, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Shirley MacLaine, plus Jewish rabbis and Muslim clerics. What shocking statements did these celebrities make for or against Chrislam, the one world religion? You’ll be shocked, stunned, and startled as you hear it. Order this video immediately if you want to know what in the world is going on politically and religiously as you examine Chrislam: One World Religion Emerging. The following are numerous questions that are answered in a professional and dynamic way in this study. • Are we in a worldwide Islamic revolt? • Why is the 10-division global empire presently on the drawing boards of the Club of Rome so immensely important? • Why are the Bilderbergs planning to microchip every citizen of the world by 2017? • What is the possibility of the image Nebuchadnezzar saw being the prototype of the image that will be created and dedicated to the Antichrist by the false prophet? • Do the Old and New Testaments predict the union of an apostate Christianity with Islam? • What and who are the seven heads and 10 horns described in the books of Daniel and Revelation? • What seven empires will lay the foundation stone for the New World Order? • Why are so many preachers falling for a one world Prophecy fulfilled today!

Are the Antichrist and false prophet alive and waiting in the wings? What is the Scriptural meaning of apostasy and heresy, and why will ministers forsake God’s holy Word for the errors of lying prophets? What names does God give to clergy members who appear as “wolves in sheep’s clothing”? Are true men of God commanded to expose the enemies of Christ and the cross? Where do the personalities named earlier in this article stand in relation to Chrislam? We deal with each individual Scripturally. What, where, when, and why has President Barack Hussein Obama compromised as he caters to the Muslims? Why is Obama encouraging Muslims to build a mosque at Ground Zero where 3,000 innocent victims were incinerated by Islamic thugs — terrorists? Why did our President use the Pentagon, of which he is Commander in Chief, to cancel Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son, as a speaker at the National Day of Prayer? What does it mean to be born again, and why do so many alleged Christians look upon the term with disdain when God’s Son proclaimed the born again experience three times? Should true believers share in a prayer meeting with Muslims at Ground Zero? • What do Muslims believe in: A. The genuine Jesus of the Bible; B. The prophet Jesus of Islam; or C. The New Age Jesus of Oprah Winfrey? The answer is shocking. • What is the blasphemy law promoted by America’s President and Hillary Clinton’s stand against it because she believes it’s a violation of freedom of speech? • Was the Christian fundamentalist movement, created in 1910, a good idea? • What blasphemous things will the prophet Jesus of Islam do when he returns as the Chief Lieutenant to Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah? The answer is a must for every lover and follower of the true Jesus. • Do the hadiths promoted by Muhammad and the texts found in the Koran, the holy book of Islam, teach that at Christ’s return he becomes the executioner of Jews and Christians who won’t become converts to Islam? I personally quote chapter and verse from the Koran to prove that this is taught within Islam. • Why is Oprah Winfrey called “the queen of the New Age Movement”? • What is God’s name, as well as the name of Jesus, that New Agers use to claim themselves as deities or little gods? • What teachings do both Dr. Schuller and Rick Warren proclaim, in the light of the New Age movement, especially about sin and the cross? My answer will shock you. • What did Helen Schucman, Dear Dr. Van Impe, Thank you for stepping out and naming those who are manhandling the Word of God. Our nation needs to know what is being done and being said and who the deceivers are. Who needs TBN? With God’s grace, you and your ministry will continue to march on telling the nation the truth and glorifying God, and He in turn will bless your ministry. —P.S. promoted by Oprah Winfrey, receive through a demonic spirit who called himself Jesus while she went into various trances? Her trash will break the hearts of every lover of our Lord Jesus Christ. Later, Oprah Winfrey chose Marianne Williamson to promote her rubbish about our Christ. • Why does Warren Smith, a former member of the New Age Movement, take Dr. Robert Schuller and Rick Warren to task on proclaiming much of Helen Schucman’s material desecrating Christianity’s doctrines? • What are some of the shocking stories concerning the slaughter of Christians in Muslim lands according to the Catholic Report Magazine? These reports are unimaginable — so much for Chrislam. • What 153 Bible texts do I, Dr. Van Impe, use to prove that this satanically inspired blasphemy called Chrislam should be rejected?

There are some with whom we should have no fellowship, nay, not so much as to eat bread; for though this conduct looks stern and hard, it is after the mind of Christ, for the apostle spake by inspiration when he said, “If we or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” According to modern efficiency he ought to have said, “Let him be kindly spoken with in private, but pray make no stir.

If we love our Lord we shall keep his words, and stand fast in the faith, coming out from among the false teachers; nor is this inconsistent with charity, for the truest love to those who err is not to fraternise with them in their error, but to be faithful to Jesus in all things. 8 | Perhaps Today | September–October 2011 >>> September–October 2011 | Perhaps Today | 9 continued from pg 6 religious life of its backbone and substituting for honest manliness a mass of the tremulous jelly of mutual flattery.

I definitely believe the Holy Spirit impressed Jack to find a format that so many people watch. When we first knew we were going to have a program that would be beamed around the world, we had prayerfully planned an unusual approach that seemed really exciting. Then, about a week before we were to start production, Jack came to me and said, “Rexella, I believe we are to do a different format. I sense that we are to gather news from around the world — global headlines — and connect them to the Word of God.” With all my heart, I believe the Lord directed my husband in that decision. Today we get hundreds of pounds of mail every week from viewers who ordinarily would not watch a church-related or religious program. One day we walked into a restaurant and were recognized by a group of some 20 Jewish people. “Oh, Dr. and Rexella,” they said, “we love your program and try to tune in every week!” In the same restaurant, we met a smaller How to make an impact for ETERNITY W We’re grateful for your faithful generosity to the global soul-winning outreach of Jack Van Impe Ministries!

I definitely believe the Holy Spirit impressed Jack to find a format that so many people watch. When we first knew we were going to have a program that would be beamed around the world, we had prayerfully planned an unusual approach that seemed really exciting. Then, about a week before we were to start production, Jack came to me and said, “Rexella, I believe we are to do a different format. I sense that we are to gather news from around the world — global headlines — and connect them to the Word of God.” With all my heart, I believe the Lord directed my husband in that decision. Today we get hundreds of pounds of mail every week from viewers who ordinarily would not watch a church-related or religious program. One day we walked into a restaurant and were recognized by a group of some 20 Jewish people. “Oh, Dr. and Rexella,” they said, “we love your program and try to tune in every week!” In the same restaurant, we met a smaller Jesus told us that theseSeptember–October things would happen. 2011 | Perhaps Today | 13 12 | Perhaps Today | September–October 2011 group of Arab people who smiled and said, “Thank you for your TV program — we appreciate it so much!” I was also stopped by the wife of a state senator who said, “I don’t know if you know this, Rexella, but the first thing on the agenda of many of the senators on Monday morning is to get together over coffee and discuss your program!” So many calls and letters we receive are from people who might never go to church or watch another religious program. Our media consultants (who also work with numerous other ministries) say that we are seeing more response to the invitation for salvation than perhaps any other program on the air today. Many people write to say, “We couldn’t make it through our week without hearing your analysis and encouragement.” And not long ago, I got a letter that brought tears to my eyes. A young girl who had decided to commit suicide was flipping through the TV channels and stopped on our program. She wrote, “Rexella, you looked straight into the camera at me and said, ‘God cares about you … and so do I!’ That changed my whole thinking … and saved my life.” Preparing for the promised days Jack and I pray earnestly as we prepare for each program. We are keenly aware of the responsibility that is ours because we truly believe that we are living in the days just prior to the coming of the Lord. We don’t like to use the phrase “last days” because it’s not a countdown to the world ending. Actually, it’s the promised days — just before Christ will come back to earth, set up His kingdom, and stop all the mayhem and madness. It will be the beginning of a thousand years of peace on the earth. I believe we are now living in the time the Bible refers to as the “hour of temptation” that will come upon all the world and try those who live on planet earth (see Revelation 3:10). But Jesus surely is coming very soon! When is He coming? Each week on television, we talk about the events the Bible says are signs of His coming. We share news reports about wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and countless other distresses and fateful events. Often people will say, “The world has always had war and famine and trouble — all these things. Are today’s events any different? Why do they have special significance now?” The answer is found in two key verses. Jesus said, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end (end of the age) come (Matthew 24:14). Only recently, in our generation, could it be said that the gospel has been preached in all the world, witnessing to all nations. Jack and I are doing this weekly! Secondly, the Bible doesn’t say, “when you see wars, look up” or “when you see famine and pestilence, the time is near.” Look carefully at what Jesus said in Matthew 24:33 — when ye shall see ALL these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (emphasis mine). All these things, all at once — simultaneously! That’s the key Jesus said to watch for, and I’m telling you, that day has come! There are many places in the Word that talk about things that will come to pass — there’s a whole list of them, but I’ve chosen to write about just four — perhaps the top four — that have to come together before the coming of the Lord. As I prepare for our telecast each week and select global headlines to share with the millions who are watching, I am still amazed by my surprise at the inhumanity of man. I say to myself, “Why am I surprised?” Jesus told us that these things would happen. Nevertheless, I am still astounded at the violence, cruelty, and hatred that men and women direct to others every day. Nevertheless, I am still astounded at the violence, cruelty, and hatred that men and women direct to others every day. 1. Wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6-7) History’s record shows that there have only been 268 years of peace in the last four thousand years! Out of some 8,000 treaties, agreements, and contracts, only about 200 have actually been kept — that’s only 2.5 percent! This tells us that men are unable to make — and keep — peace. Mankind is absolutely unable to set up a lasting world agreement for peace. It has never happened and will never happen. But Jesus promises that when He returns, He will set up His kingdom on the earth, and we will have a thousand years of peace. It will be the first time since the dawn of creation! There have been wars and rumors of wars since the beginning of time — but never like today. If you look at what’s going on in the world right now, you’ll find there is conflict in virtually every quarter. We find nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, ethnic group against ethnic group, tribe against tribe. Even people from different religious groups, living in the same place and under the same conditions, line up to fight each other to the death. This so grieves my spirit that often I must allow the grace of God to comfort my soul. I cry out, and the Lord whispers, “This is what must happen just prior to My coming, but I will make it all right when I come!” Only then can I find assurance in the face of worldwide crisis and turmoil. I believe that we should do all we can on a humanistic basis to help oppressed and suffering people in any way we can. Thank God for the agencies and organizations that provide food, shelter, and medical attention to suffering people everywhere. But in the long run, the best thing we can possibly do is try to help prepare them spiritually for what they must endure. There is no other solution. We must say to them, “This is all going to end someday. Get ready! Be ready! Jesus is coming to bring peace upon the earth. Keep looking up! Lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh” (see Luke 21:28). This is so important because people everywhere are beginning to realize that man is helpless to bring peace to the world. This realization will make them vulnerable to the claims and promises of the Antichrist when he comes. Why am I surprised? Oh, yes — he will come at the appointed time. He is going to say, “I do have a solution for world peace — a seven-year peace contract for all the world.” In their desperation, the nations of the world will allow themselves to be deceived. But like every other peace plan in the history of the world, the Antichrist’s plan will fail — the Bible says in only three and a half years! So today we must do all that we can to point the lost to the Answer — not a theory, a contract, a plan — but to the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. That’s what Jack and I do every week on our worldwide telecast. 2.Hunger and pestilence (Revelation 6:8) The second thing that shocks Jesus told us that theseSeptember–October things would happen. 2011 | Perhaps Today | 13 12 | Perhaps Today | September–October 2011 group of Arab people who smiled and said, “Thank you for your TV program — we appreciate it so much!” I was also stopped by the wife of a state senator who said, “I don’t know if you know this, Rexella, but the first thing on the agenda of many of the senators on Monday morning is to get together over coffee and discuss your program!” So many calls and letters we receive are from people who might never go to church or watch another religious program.

That’s what Jack and I do every week on our worldwide telecast. 2.Hunger and pestilence (Revelation 6:8) The second thing that shocks 14 | Perhaps Today | September–October 2011 me is how there can be famine, privation, and deathly need and starvation in a world where there is such abundance. Why am I surprised? Often there can be unimaginable opulence and wealth at one end of the street, and hunger, want, and terrible suffering at the other end of the same street. The hunger, disease, and pestilence around the world hurt my heart so much. Today we have many, many billionaires all over the world — people with so much wealth that they literally cannot even count it all. There are billionaires not only in prosperous, wealthy countries, but also in poor, underdeveloped nations. Outside the gates of these billionaires’ estates — in the very shadow of their elegant palaces of privilege — starving people die in the darkness. In nations ravaged by famine, with millions of starving children, cruel dictators hoard the country’s meager resources and even confiscate the humanitarian aid sent by other nations for their own personal gain. No wonder the Word reminds us that the heart (of man) is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus told a parable of a rich farmer whose land had produced so plentifully that he had no place September–October 2011 | Perhaps Today | 15 to contain all the harvest. So he planned to tear down his old barns and build bigger ones. Then he said to himself, “You’ve got so much, just take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry.” But God said, “You fool, this night will your soul be required of you — then whose shall those things be?” Jesus went on to say, So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God (Luke 12:21). Most of us are not billionaires. Perhaps we do not even have much to spare beyond our basic needs. But in the words of American writer Edward Everett Hale — I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do. There is always something we can do to help share the Gospel with those who do not know the Lord. Even when the physical needs of nations and people are beyond our means to change, we can point them to Jesus and His words of eternal life. In many impoverished regions where television is not available to very many, we are broadcasting the message of Christ’s soon return on radio, hoping that somehow we can get through to some of the people. 3.Without natural affection (2 Timothy 3:3) Recently on our telecast, I read a horrifying headline and story about a mother who cut off the hands of her children because they were disobedient! Can you believe it? That’s not the affection of a mother’s heart. How could a parent’s mind get so twisted as to mistake brutal, bloody amputation and dismemberment as loving discipline? Truly we are living in “perilous times.” Do you believe we are living in a day when people are without natural affection? We see and hear about it all the time. There are many husbands who beat and abuse their wives, even wives who also are abusive. There have also been numerous cases of children who have murdered their parents or have beaten or injured a younger brother or sister. Why am I surprised? We live in an age when sexual predators stalk children on the playgrounds of schools. Even teachers and religious leaders have been involved in horrible sexual abuse of young boys and girls. That’s not a natural heart! That is a person without natural affection. You do not prey on children — I don’t care who you are or what “logic” you use to rationalize it. God intended for us to love our neighbor as ourselves — to have a love for everyone, no matter who they are. Betraying the trust and dependence of children and family is unnatural! The Bible warns us about a whole laundry list of terrible behavioral practices that become common in the world before the end of the age comes. The Apostle Paul wrote, For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (2 Timothy 3:2-5). Do you recognize any of these things in our society today? Are they happening around where you live? Then pay attention. This is a biblical, prophetic sign of the promised days just prior to Christ’s coming! 4.Worldwide terrorism (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:11, Luke 21:9) Worldwide terrorism! Why am I surprised? Jesus said, But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:37). What was it like in Noah’s day? The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence (Genesis 6:11). Does that description fit the world you know? I think so. Finally, Jesus said, But when ye shall hear of wars and (violent) commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass … nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom (Luke 21:9-10). Terrorism is certainly on the upswing right now. It has struck with deadly fury in New York, London, Madrid, Russia, and continues in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world. I believe we have to be vigilant and do all we can to keep it from happening. But we must not be surprised when it strikes. Jesus said these things must come to pass — terrorism will continue at some level right up until the coming of the Lord! Dear Jack and Rexella, Thank you, Jack and Rexella Van Impe, for telling it like it is about sin and jellyfish-spined preachers giving out rotten meat. I applaud you — the true body of Christ applauds you.... —J.W. This is why I am so excited, positive, and thankful about the incredible tool the Lord has given to us with our weekly telecast, Jack Van Impe Presents. We don’t come on each week with global news and gloom and doom. We say, “Yes, we do see terrorism, just as Jesus foretold. But let not your heart be troubled — these things must come to pass. They precede the coming of the Lord.” We’re trying to prepare people with a positive outlook, knowing that trials teach us trust in our Heavenly Father! Yes, there have been some dark days. There may well be dark times again. But don’t be afraid of “the power of darkness.” I believe darkness doesn’t really have any power of its own — it’s only the absence of light! If you carry light with you, it always dispels darkness! Darkness has no power if you hold up the light of the world — Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior and our Lord. He said, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). Today let us allow God to comfort our souls and give us hope for tomorrow. Be ready and watching for His return. With all my heart, I believe He is coming very soon! Don’t be surprised! 14 | Perhaps Today | September–October 2011 me is how there can be famine, privation, and deathly need and starvation in a world where there is such abundance. Why am I surprised?

Dear Jack, I agree with you about all “these mega-churches.” They are not about God’s Word, only preaching nonsense, feel-good psychobabble.... I want you to know your ministries opened my eyes and changed my life forever. I thank God and I thank Jack and Rexella Van Impe. Remember: “Evil thrives when good men fail and do nothing.” God bless you always, —R.F. a “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20). I t was a shocking moment — learning that Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), after carrying our program nearly a quarter of a century, would refuse to run our Jack Van Impe Presents program which named Robert Schuller and Rick Warren, two individuals whom I felt were drastically compromising God’s Holy Word and Christianity. Naming these individuals was nothing new. In 23 years on TBN, I mentioned numerous individuals: Rob Bell, who mocked Christ’s virgin birth and Christ’s 15 pronouncements concerning hell; Harold Camping, with his “End of the World” nonsense back in May; and others. I make no apologies. Heresy must be exposed (2 Timothy 4:2-4). Our program is not a church service, but a newscast. We report the headlines and cannot, and will not, eliminate names mentioned by the media. TBN furthermore banned any and all of our programs on RECLAIMING AND RESTORING BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY. So I took Jack Van Impe Presents off of TBN, and ordered our team to begin finding other media outlets: up to 52 secular stations — for the same price we’ve been paying TBN! We will be able to contract another 50 secular stations for the price we paid TBN. Imagine! A total of 102 stations for the same amount of money I paid TBN! Meanwhile, the outpouring of love and support from our viewers, friends, and partners has been ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING. Over seven thousand emails, letters, and phone calls have flooded our ministry offices, as true and committed Christians applauded our bold Dear Jack and Rexella, Restoring Christianity brings to point what the churches are doing wrong today, and unfortunately the Christians are following their path right into hell fire. Your teachings are dear to my heart and you continually use quotes from the Bible to prove it. Keep preaching, Jack. You’ve been instrumental to my Christianity and because of your teachings I am Christ’s forever. Yours in Jesus Christ, —T.J. Bless you both for your determination to always stand for what is right. The world is in such a mess and it is only through a minority of preachers like you, Drs. Jack and Rexella, that we are shown God’s own way — not the way of so-called Christian ministers who seem to be deluded that they themselves are God. And where is Jesus in those so-called ministries? —D.B. Drogheda, Ireland Dear Drs. Jack and Rexella, I just watched an early “Praise the Lord” program, (where your hair was grey, Rexella’s was curly) with Paul and Jan Crouch and Paul Sr. told you TO KEEP PREACHING THE WORD! You kept your word. Now his son, Matt, has chosen the world, money, greed, and rock and roll images … it’s a shame dad Paul couldn’t have stepped in with this matter of Rick Warren (wolf in sheepskin) and old Schuller’s nonsense. I am so proud you have stood up to the threats from this network. TBN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! I can never look at one of their telethons the same again after 35-plus years of supporting TBN. I will stick by you and John Hagee under God’s holy wings. I wrote and asked TBN if they were putting a mosque on the “Holy Land” in Orlando to co-worship with Muslims and Christians! Paul Sr. better watch out. His two sons promised to never sell TBN. If they lied in the matter of preaching God’s Word only, can he trust them when it comes to money or worldly gain? —D.V. Hello Drs. Jack and Rexella, I saw your program this past week and I want to thank you for standing your grounds in regard to being asked by Mr. Crouch to return to TBN. I firmly believe you will be reaching more unsaved folks going to the secular stations, as I was one of them years ago. There is a reason why God created this falling away. His coming is near! I have since doubled my giving to your ministry. God bless. —J.D. Dear Jack and Rexella, I just fired off a nasty (but clean) letter to TBN. I am disgusted that they are such gutless people.

God will not continue to bless such a business, and yes that’s what I believe it has become — not so much a ministry but a “business.” They appease antiChristian faiths.

Your friend in Christ, —J.H. Dear Jack Van Impe Ministries: Praise God! Praise God! Finally a true preacher! Finally!!! Praise the Lord! Canada has been virtually destroyed by the false gospels such as those perpetrated by Rick Warren and the more covert ones like James Dobson. That is because Canada was fertile soil for this sort of thing. The real Gospel has been integrated with the humanistic, apathetic spirits that rule our land. In fact, the city I live in is the Canadian head office for the Willow Creek Association. People I used to look up to spiritually have fallen for these false gospels. Here is one thing that is of supreme importance, and I don’t know if you are aware of it: Many, many people are unaware that their church has been taken over by Rick Warren’s gospel. It is usually only the scripturally literate, older mature Christians (the ones “purpose driven” methods want the church to shed) that discern that something is wrong. Did you know that there are websites where anyone can go to see if their church has become part of this movement? —J.&A.P. I became a Partner this week after the controversy of censorship with TBN.

Dear Pastor Jack: I thank God Almighty that there is someone as bold as you to name these mega-church pastors BY NAME and to tell the public that these people DO NOT preach about sin. It is so dreadful to think that so many people are not saved and yet these pastors continue to sugarcoat the Scriptures and not tell the truth. I thank God for men like you who wish to bring “old school” church principles back. God bless you and your ministry. Praise Jesus, —A.C. Your program on the 20th of July was a terrific show, and any preacher who can still ignore the tenets of the Bible after watching it is either dead in sins, not born again, or he is so backslidden that he cannot see his way out of a wet paper bag.

I transferred my pledge from them to you! I could not in good faith continue to give God’s gifts to them.
