Be as wise as snakes...

But don't BECOME one...unlike many televangelists.

Since we're talking about Ole Anthony, I'll add this as well. I personally have a particular aversion to televangelists and other flim-flam artists who have the gall to call themselves "Christian." The fact that someone would use the very Word of God to manipulate, shake down and extort money from people who are typically very poor (and many times, very naive), absolutely makes my blood boil.

I found this very interesting article on Ole Anthony, a modern day John the Baptist. He and his small band of "soldiers" fight against false doctrine, shady snake oil evangelists, and others who would steer people from the real Truth of Christ. While the article was published in the New Yorker, that doesn't detract from the character of this fascinating person:
