I'm not a fan of Charles Stanley (nothing personal, just don't like his style of preaching). Over the last few years it "feels" like his church has become a money making machine. My opinion may be wrong, as I've not dug into anything to find out why it feels that way.stradial said:My brother and his girlfriend is heading to Israel this week, part of First Baptist Church of Atlanta's small intimate travel group of 800-900 people.
I will keep my thoughts and opinions to myself about the church, it's leaders and these kind of things.

The wife's ex boss of 20 yrs and Charles Stanley are BIG buddies and business partners in a few enterprises.

Leverage to use in the "cease fire" agreement. At least that's what I heard on a few news reports yesterday.Boss 302 said:deewee said:Hammond says this will damage Israel's international reputation.
