UNCONVERTED MINISTERS
Thousands of ordained men in the present day know nothing whatever about Christ, except His name. They have not entered "the door" themselves, and they are unable to show it to others. Unconverted ministers are the dry-rot of the Church...We must never fail to ask, Where is

Pastor Dave Kinney said, "Satan is not invincible, but he is invisible, he’s not a respecter of God’s people, but he has to respect the blood over God’s people! He’s not fearful of the culture’s elite, but he is terrified of Calvary’s eternity! He’s not silent as a lamb around us, but he is
