“Who left you with those few sheep? You’ve got a little church! We’ve got Kensington Temple!”Kensington Temple doesn’t seem capable of stopping the march of Islam; Kensington Temple can not only not get pornography off the television, it can’t even close the the porn shop on the corner right across the street from it.

Mr. Weaver, you promoted Toronto, you told us it was revival. Mr Glass, Mr. Lewis, you told us this was revival, this was the breakthrough. Mr. Colt you said a revival has happened, revival has come.

Did the politicians say anything? No, why should they? The church wouldn't, except Colin Chapman and Steve Chalke, “Oh, these people can be saved without Christ.”
“You ask the wrong question!” No, David asked the right question. You’re a loser; where’s your big talk now? You said it was revival, you said there was victory, you said there was blessing. Were you a liar or a moron or both? I'm only asking the question.
