And if you want to talk roach scatterers, the true master was Phillip Jones. He sure put me in MY place! We need him to shine the light on the earthworms moving just beneath the surface of the soil. (Of course earthworms are absolutely vital to the environment -they keep the soil from going completely anaerobic and thus destroying the roots of the plants growing just above it.)

The part highlighted above.... I agree. The if some preachers got paid by the amens they get people to say the UC churches would be full of fatcats. The times that grace and mercy are taught in some OP churches, and the amens come, I am afraid that their view of grace and mercy is messed up. I know many think that God's grace and mercy allowed them to get the HG and speak in tongues and ignore g&m for any other area. There are some UC's and OP's that do understand grace, but they choose to live "tight but right" anyway. Just my thoughts...
