1 John 4:1 says, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” There are shady characters in the world that prey on those who are gullible and overly-trusting.
This is precisely what happened in the Eddie Long Ponzi scheme saga that has landed the troubled mega pastor on the other end of a lawsuit.
