Nuggets from Occult Invasion

The disillusionment reached a crisis when Patti called Al Bush, longtime president of Oral Roberts Evangelical Association. The conversation as she recalls it went like this:

“Al, in the forty shows that we taped last year, how many times did we give people the plan of salvation?

The plan of salvation? Gosh, Patti, I don’t know. I’m sure we must have given it to them at least once.

            And how many times did we give them the principles of Seed-Faith?

He laughed. Patti, you know the answer to that. We give the principles of Seed-Faith on every show. What’s this all about?

Al, in the letters that you received from viewers, how many of them thought that maybe if they gave money to Oral, they had bought a little place in the Kingdom? How many may have thought that swayed God’s opinion about their eternal destiny?

He didn’t answer for a long time. When he finally replied he lowered his voice and said soberly and a bit hesitantly, A whole lot of them did, Patti."
