The majority of what calls itself Christianity today is a circus. You've got a bunch of people chasing health, wealth, prosperity; chasing a good time, chasing the social club, chasing where the action's happening, chasing the good music and the good times.

There's a mindset in other countries that if you're an American, you're a Christian. Well, those people are sadly misled; they don't know our country.

There may be many churches and there may be church buildings on every street corner and every corner in our cities across this country, but the true Christians are few.
