Bob said that he had been speaking with the manager of the Chick-fil-A in Scottsdale, and she said that Chick-fil-As can still play instrumental Christian music, but the company has issued […]

    Let me see if I have this straight. A Pentecostal preacher believed that a poisonous snakebite would not harm him as long as he was anointed by God’s power. When he got bitten over the weekend, he refused care, sending paramedics away. An hour later he was dead. I’m talking about Jamie Coots, the pastor […]
