Throw in other ways of corrupting current members of the board as well as dirty tricks to remove problem members, and control of the organization is easily co-opted. This is why so many supposedly &#8220;Christian&#8221; organizations actually work against God and Christ in our world. And worth pointing out that some organizations are actually started by Satanist Freemasons to begin with like Billy Graham&#8217;s operations including Christianity Today. So The Gospel Coalition is one such organization, and Protestia has highlighted quite a bit of their subversive materials and employees. And really, this looked like a paid promotion to promote the Taylor Swift tour and merchandise which I&#8217;ve seen projected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2023\/10\/13\/taylor-swift-eras-tour-money-4-billion-profit\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2023\/10\/13\/taylor-swift-eras-tour-money-4-billion-profit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rake in $4 billion<\/a>.
