The bottom line is, you either believe that Neil Andersen (or fill-in-the-blank) is the man God wanted to be there, or you don't. Those of you getting your panties in a twist about "gosh, ANOTHER white guy??" are really drifting toward the latter category, ignoring what the men you sustain as prophets are actually telling you.
