Another reported scandal in the church, friends, there's a biblical way to handle these.

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President

of Fire School of Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth. That's

86634 Truth. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. It is an amazing privilege and joy to be sitting with you here, talking with you

I'm speaking with the gentleman with American Airlines the day at the Charlotte Airport.
