The Old Black Church

Yall the above picture has set off a firestorm online after Worship Leader Chandler Moore post a picture of him simulating doggy style as his wife “twerks” on him after their wedding. In my opinion, this is an inappropriate picture to post on social media, especially if you are claiming to work for the kingdom of GOD. The picture is distasteful and inappropriate for public consumption. They should’ve kept that to themselves. Don't get me wrong, they’re young and probably wouldn’t share this with the world as they grow and mature in Christ. Any believer who doesn’t see anything wrong with it is revealing where they are in Christ and how much they reverence the Lord. The spirit of the fear of the Lord is missing in the church today. This pic is evidence. I pray God will open their eyes to show them a better way of glorifying Him.  Chandler Moore is an American Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader. Moore is a member of the Maverick City Music collective and has a leading r

  I love the teaching of Bishop R.C. Blake, and I agree that every woman is some man's type, the woman is the man's Prize. This is my third time watching this video.  This coming September 22, 2021, if the Lord will, I'll be married to the same black man for over 30 plus years....ain't any way I would have asked him to marry me...I love and respect myself. Although there is no Bible verse that speaks definitively to the issue...or the concept of the man taking the initiative to propose...but actually does have some foundation in Scripture. Some saints want to argue it's acceptable for women to propose marriage to men because Ruth proposes marriage to Boaz...now I don't necessarily agree with that.....Ruth was just doing what was common among the Moabites.....according to the book of Ruth all she did was "create" an environment for Boaz to approach/propose to her.   God created the man first and then created the woman from the man’s rib. Genesis 2:22 sa

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel faces defeat, he sounds like Donald Trump, saying the only possible explanation for his election loss is fraud by his enemies. On the verge of being replaced after 12 years in power, Benjamin Netanyahu is waging a desperate, Trump-style campaign to de-legitimize the incoming Israeli government and accuse its leaders of perpetrating “the fraud of the century". According to COGIC Bishop Talbert Swan, Netanyahu is a fear-mongering war criminal, blaming Hamas for the unnecessary slaughter of unarmed Palestinians by Israeli snipers. He is Israel’s, Donald Trump. They have pledges of support from the USA and use us like a big bully playground brother whenever they want to act up. Some of what they do is so evil, how can they be "The CHOSEN ones"?? Chosen for WHAT? Also, according to Bishop Talbert Swan, America is funding terrorism in Israel to the tune of $10,411,000 per day at the taxpayers' expense.

Hubby and I have not been vaccinated and I work for one of the largest hospitals in Jacksonville. We are still undecided about taking the vaccine. Houston Methodist Hospital became the first medical center to mandate employees get the experimental C*vid19 vaccine, which didn’t go over well with the staff. Now, an R.N. is leading the charge, along with 116 hospital employees, to file a lawsuit.  Nearly 200 employees at Houston Methodist Hospital were suspended for not following a policy that requires employees to be vaccinated against C*vid-19. Dozens of workers had protested against the policy on Monday. Houston Methodist Hospital ordered workers to get their COVID-19 vaccination or face termination, setting off a protest. https://t.co/43FbN8orIJ — New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) June 9, 2021

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, not true all the time. A nun who ran a Catholic elementary school in Torrance used parents’ money to finance her gambling habit. Now she has agreed to plead guilty to stealing more than $835,000 from the school and its families. She was charged Tuesday with one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering, according to the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California.    Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper, the former principal of St.James School in Redondo Beach in California, and former teacher Sister Lana Chang embezzled funds for their own personal use. The nuns, who are from the order of Sisters of St.Joseph of Carondelet, allegedly embezzled as much as $500,000 in tuition, fees, and donations. School officials recently told parents that the nuns, who were best friends, used some of the money for trips and casino visits to Las Vegas, according to The Beach Reporter. The figure represents what auditors have been able to tra

According to a couple of online sources, social media scams are using Dr. Charles Stanley’s name to advertise gummies and oil. Retired Atlanta megachurch pastor Charles Stanley says he’s not selling CBD oil and says ads that claim he is are a scam. In Touch Ministries said in a statement that scammers have been using Stanley’s image and saying he was beginning a new business venture in CBD oil. The ministry said that some of the articles even used fake Fox News headers to appear more legitimate. “However, none of it is true. It is a scam. Dr. Stanley has not begun any new venture,” the statement said. Stanley, who is in his late 80s, announced in September 2020 that he would retire as head pastor of 13,000-member First Baptist Church Atlanta. He is now pastor emeritus. The ministry urged followers not to click on any posts, emails, texts, or websites mentioning CBD. No, Charles Stanley has *not* gotten into the CBD-infused gummy bear business: https://t.co/jk9fiZIhoW — Christian

Happy birthday to the G.O.A.T, Bishop TD Jakes, in all honesty, I kind of struggle with such a title as that. I'll be the first one to admit that not too many people can claim to be the G.O.A.T., but those who can are the Greatest Of All Time in their field. Most often, the acronym G.O.A.T. praises exceptional athletes but also musicians and other public figures. On social media, it's common to see the goat 🐐 emoji in relation to the acronym.  Bishop Jakes has been crowned on this day his 64 birthday as the G.O.A.T. of preaching by many within the Christian community. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or a casual viewer, you’ve likely heard the term “GOAT” before. Here’s what being the “GOAT” of a sport (or anything else) means. GOAT stands for “greatest of all time.”  If you’ve participated in an online sports talk, you may recognize that the term is used to refer to the greatest athlete in the history of a professional sport. Alternatively, some use it to refer to the best

Crooks often turn to religion when other forms of grifting are closed to them. And lots of Christians are too gullible to think critically about what is really going on. Kwame Kilpatrick is set to preach at Detroit’s historic Little Rock Church this coming Sunday in his first sermon.  Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is embracing his freedom with some big changes in his life: He's getting remarried, plans to join the ministry, and is leaving politics for good, according to Deadline Detroit. In an interview with Deadline Detroit's Allan Lengel, Kilpatrick said that he's leaving politics to join the ministry, and is engaged to be married to a Detroit woman.   Deadline Detroit Editor Allan Lengel got the scoop on Kilpatrick’s movement and plans in his story about how his nearly-30-year sentence didn’t match his criminal actions. “He said I hope my repentance counts for something,” Lengel said, Deadline Detroit reported. “A lot of influential people read it and it change

Today's online social media influencers are big businesses, especially if you happen to have a large following.  All Bible readers know that Joseph was one of twelve brothers—the second youngest—but he was his father Jacob’s favorite son, as he was the first son of Rachel, and was born to his father in Jacob’s old age. With that same energy, all Bible readers know that Joseph was known as the DREAMER. Well, Social Media Influencer KevOnStage posted the following clip from Pastor YPJ to his 2 million followers, which has caused the clip and the comments under the post to go viral....while causing a very interesting conversation.  I agree with most comments I too have never heard it preached from this perspective. Some are saying that this is not a good biblical interpretation at all......and Joseph was a dreamer, a dream interpreter, and gifted in administration.....the pastor doesn't have to negate one to highlight the other. What yall think?  

So what's a Prenup? and should they be a part of a Christian couple's marriage?  A prenup is short for a prenuptial agreement. This is a mutually agreed upon contract by couples prior to marriage. The contract lays out what happens to the couple’s assets (money and possessions) should they divorce. Who gets the house? Who gets the car? How will the money be divided? All of these questions are answered in the prenup. I find this interesting that Gizelle Bryant says she and Pastor Jamal Bryant didn't have a Prenup and it was a fight over money.  Gizelle Bryant is sharing more details about her apparently contentious divorce from her ex-husband, mega pastor Jamal. In my opinion, there is no reason for two Christian people, committed to God and each other, to need a prenuptial agreement.

I'm grateful that Bishop Hezekiah Walker has begun this ministry for gospel music education. It's also vitally important for emerging artists, established artists, and gospel music enthusiasts to know the legacy and heritage of gospel music.  Virginia Union University (VUU) will launch the Hezekiah Walker Center for Gospel Music at Virginia Union University. The academic center is the first of its kind in the United States. It will provide education and resources to help musicians and budding gospel artists to learn the cultural and business aspects of gospel music and the industry. Courses will be available to all VUU students and a variety of certification courses related to work in the industry will also be available to the general public. Walker, a second-year student of the Virginia Union University’s Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology said, “the strong theological training I’ve received here at Virginia Union during the past two years has helped to shape my minist

Yall Pastor Donnie McClurkin took to his social media page last night to address a false statement posted by The Apostolic Church of New Orleans regarding him and the service he was never scheduled to attend. Donnie apologizes to those in New Orleans that was led to believe he was to minister at this church.  Donnie says he forgives the ministry in New Orlean's lack of integrity and lack of truthfulness that would literally put him in a car accident to cover the fact that they never secured his ministry nor spoken with his management. Donnie said that there was no car accident nor non-life-threatening injuries ...and there was never any appointment made for him to speak... It's unfortunate that this ministry didn't tell the truth...he apologizes to anyone and all who were inconvenienced by this...and to the ministry in question...please do things honorably! God bless you, all! Pastor Donnie McClurkin   Thoughts? Update: Pastor Donnie McClurkin apologizes.

Pastor Rickie Rush ( is no stranger to this blog ) senior pastor of the Inspiring Body Of Christ Church.....now has a former member of the saying he was 13 when Pastor Rickie Rush raped him, an allegation Dallas police say they are investigating.  Marcus Bell Jr., 26, described the assault in recent interviews with The Dallas Morning News, saying it came after a week of beatings by Rush in 2007 that left him bruised and barely able to walk. At least six former members of the church told The News that Rush often targeted him for whippings in the name of discipline. 

Yall Saddleback Church Senior Pastor and Founder Rick Warren have announced he's retiring. Now, this is quite interesting. I never thought I'd hear that Rick Warren would leave the church he made famous, or at least step down as the Pastor. Quite interesting. Today, Rick Warren announced that they will begin searching for his successor.  Warren will transition to the role of founding pastor once a successor is named. Today, @RickWarren announced that they will begin searching for his successor. Pray for him, @KayWarren1 , @Saddleback Church, and all their related ministries as they step into this next phase of ministry. — Ed Stetzer (@edstetzer) June 7, 2021

Prophet TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN)has transitioned into eternity where time no longer matters.  Born on June 12, 1963, Prophet TB Joshua transition six days shy of his 58th birthday. The death of TB Joshua is a big loss to Nigeria and the Ikotun end of Lagos especially. His church is one of the major points of tourist attractions to Nigeria and I can’t begin to imagine the impact of his death on businesses, people, and the less privileged in that area.  May he rest in peace, he might not have been your typical pastor, but he:   -fed the poor  -gave electricity  -scholarships  -disaster relief  -helped thousands of refugees  -employed youths in his football club  -spent over $20m on humanitarian works [BREAKING NEWS] Nigerian televangelist prophet TB Joshua dies aged 57. Joshua was the founder of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations. He died shortly after concluding a programme at his church in Lagos on Saturday evening. pic.twitter.com/uf81QJT23F

In my opinion, this puts white conservative Christians in a dilemma. On one hand, nothing gets them as worked up, motivated, and voting like the promise of restricting and eventually banning abortion, while on the other, they are 100% pro Israel no matter what because "the end times" and will insist that any criticism of that country's government is hatred of all Jews, everywhere. Then throw in the fact the procedure is normally covered by that country's national health care which is "socialism" and mind blown and funded by our tax dollars. The fact that healthcare, including abortion, is legal and free in Israel, and guess who pays the tab? American taxpayers denied healthcare or the right to family planning.    

 Bishop TD Jakes comments at Evangelist Joyce Rodgers funeral about death is probably the most riveting explanation I have EVER heard. He is truly a man with an anointed imagination.  

Yall this was interesting to see. Confirms that one's belief varies from person to person. To have a relationship with God. To have faith. To seek repentance for our imperfections. There are so many interpretations of the Bible which is why there are so many churches. This was a bit hard to watch. But very eye-opening. All these people are very brave to be a part of this experiment. I feel sad that the one guy was questioning if he’s going to heaven. It’s so hard to have faith when you feel like everything about you is wrong. Just by being a believer of JESUS, your eternity is secured. Poor guy, 😭 I’m definitely praying for him.  

It's been alleged for some time now that children are exploited by child sponsorship programs that “sell” them to donors. Some say they been arguing this for quite a while even if it makes them unpopular - child sponsorship schemes focus on individual saviors not social justice and they're costly to run. In my opinion, this always been very controversial.        For decades a lot of charities have made a point of saying they don't do them because they found they divided communities by creating have and have-not kids, and by coming between kids and their parents and community (since the kid knows it's someone overseas who is taking care of them). There are benefits to them but plenty of drawbacks too. So a lot of major charities and development agencies refuse to ever do them and consider them bad practice.  ‘Sponsor a child’ schemes attacked for perpetuating racist attitudes https://t.co/aZ4Qj803Mg — The Guardian (@guardian) May 31, 2021

Definitely some issues here with this guy....he did this same kind of a post two years ago but I don’t actually have a problem with him knowing what kind of life partner he wants. Lots of women want attractive, ambitious, or successful, intelligent men who are God-fearing, willing to travel, good listeners, confident but not showy. Most also have height preferences.   Thoughts?
