I found very disturbing that he points to increased church membership as proof that faith is increasing or that he must be preaching the truth.

I spoke with someone who stated that the increase in size of their building and the number of members at their church was proof that God was pleased. I then commented that God must be tickled to death with Playboy as they continue to grow market share.

They've traded the truth of God for the lie.

2Th 2:7-12 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains {will do so} until he is taken out of the way.

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

{that is,} the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.
