Fooling Christians - The Debacles of Benny Hinn and Paula White
It is time for Christians to stop allowing themselves to be fooled and hoodwinked by Pseudo Preachers.

Kato Mivule | June 22, 2010
Commentary on Act 8:1-4 The Church today especially in the West enjoys enormous amounts of material prosperity that by 2000 alone, US Evangelicals had made 2.6 Trillion Dollars in income, unprecedented in Church History.
