I think I'm right on this, having 27 years' experience, but if I had to grade the body of Christ generally, A, B, C, D, or an F, on how well they do in honoring Jesus with their entertainment choices, sadly, there would be a lot of Ds and D minuses. And some people that are listening now to Family Talk may disagree with me, but that's okay.
