The Policeman and the Prophet - Day 40

“Does anybody give them the thousand?”
“You wouldn’t believe how many do. But, there is a system put in place with that first phone call. It is hinted to the person that their ‘healing’ may not last unless they make a ‘faith’ offering. Like I said before. . . the whole key is ‘faith.’ You either show it, or you don’t have it.”
“So, when the ‘healing’ begins to go away, that means the person’s lack of faith is causing the problem. Showing faith means making a donation.”
Exactly,” said the woman, “the more the donation, the more the faith.”
“They’re letting the people’s own faith be their undoing,” said Frank. “But, you skipped over something. You said something happened at a crusade in. . . Little Rock, was it?”
“Yes, the crowd was really into the crusade. They were singing along with every hymn, some cheered, it was a good crusade.”
“The Holy Spirit was there,” said Frank. The lady smiled.
“I can’t tell you exactly what Billy said to Franklin, I don’t say words like that.”
“Go ahead,” said Father Bill. “I promise you I have heard worse and Frank has said worse.”
“Okay, I don’t like it, but I heard Billy say to Franklin, “Look at all these. . . I can’t say it, but blank Rednecks, this gig should be good for a million two.”
