On Thursday thousands of Christians will gather in a Los Angeles amphitheater to “cry” for the festering immoral cesspool that Hollywood has become. “The whole heart of the day is to pray … to fast … to worship, and to believe God [will] move in the heart of entertainment media in a way that will impact the whole nation and …

Pastor Bill Ledbetter of Fairview Baptist Church opened last week’s session of the Oklahoma House with a lengthy deranged rant that denounces the separation of church and state as non-existent.
