“Television is the most powerful cultural influence on the planet…Television frequently contradicts God, almost as directly as the serpent in the Garden Of Eden.  It saturates the mind of the viewer with the world’s way of thinking.”  –from the chapter AVOID SPIRITUAL ANESTHESIA

 

“In April 1983, Robert Vierling of Winchester, Missouri, was found on his bed, crushed to death by his sixteen-foot, one-hundred-pound, pet Burmese python.  Vierling’s wife said he had complete trust in the snake and often played with it on the bed.  Each of us lives with many unseen snakes, all more deadly than a Burmese python.  These snakes, which are constantly with us, are called “sins” in the Bible….Pythons of sin will attack and fight against us all our lives…Get deadly serious with your sins.”  –from the chapter KILL YOUR SINS
