Our friends videotaped the news report from Channel 7 and my wife and I watched it last night after we came home from flying in. It was pretty good. They had a lot of preaching on there about things people do not normally hear preached about like sin, judgment, hell, holiness, etc. It was a pretty balanced report coming from a liberal, secular newstation.
As some of you know our church has pretty much turned on us since we were arrested. This is mainly referring to the leadership as there are several in the church who have been very supportive.
We went to church this morning and many of the people in the church said they saw us on the news and were very supportive. I do not think they are aware of the stance the leadership has taken against us.
I believe the leadership is very much governed by public opinion. Since many of the people are excited about the news report they are going to start wondering why the leadership has said nothing. This will force the leadership to either get behind us or reject us. Either way God is being glorified and He his will is being done as He promised to bring about polarization, division, etc. and forcing people to take a stand for either righteousness or the world. Amen.

Many of the local leaders in our denomination saw the broadcast and seemed to be behind us (at least verbally). Recently one of the leaders at the church who has opposed us since our arrest offered my wife somewhat of an apology and told her to "keep preaching the Word".
