"The Old Black Church"

 What yall think? Churches, for years, have been raising money under this umbrella “building fund” for years, and no building ever came to fruition. I have seen it growing up, and I see it now. Anyhow, Perfecting Church Pastor Marvin Winans has fired back at a lawsuit from the City of Detroit, claiming that his unfinished church is nothing more than an eyesore. Pastor Winans encourages members to join him in person every Friday Night starting March 31 as he prays for their Woodward avenue location. According to the article, the massive church at 7 Mile Road and Woodward Avenue has sat unfinished for nearly 20 years. This has prompted the city to file a lawsuit. The church claims they’ve spent a lot of money to restart construction. And they say, ironically, the city’s desire to start building is doing the opposite, holding it up, and that they say it costs the church big money.   The big elephant in the room question is: Where is the money at "20yrs" plus the church got a P

  What in the world is wrong with people?  This is the message a daycare director left for a lesbian couple. Kelly and Ky Gibbs received a message in February from Rising Generations Early Learning Center director Kimesha Munford. Kelly Gibbs recalled a conversation she had with Munford as "equally disturbing." The family shared the voicemail with FOX 5. "Hi Mrs. Gibbs, this is Ms. Kimesha from Rising Generation. I’m so sorry to be calling you this late and to be calling you from my personal private cell phone, but I had to call to let you know that I’m a prophet and God often speaks to me through dreams and visions," Munford said. "The word of the Lord says that God wants you and your wife to split up and I am so sorry to have to tell you this … I also speak in tongues, I pray in tongues." I understand the daycare director is the daughter of the owner, and that the director has not been fired.   

I don't understand the selected outrage that's been leveled against Ex-Pastor Carl Lentz.  The internet – particularly social media – has changed how, when, and where these kinds of outrages can/will occur. The number of people who can go online and call out others for their behavior or words is immense, and it’s never been easier to summon groups to join the public fray. Carl Lentz, the ousted pastor of Hillsong New York City, has landed on staff as a “strategist” at Transformation Church, a predominantly Black, nondenominational megachurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that is led by pastor, author and popular YouTuber Michael Todd.

What yall think? Judah Smith and his church Churchome have been getting a lot of buzz online lately ( You can read about it here ) which I find surprising. Carl Lentz was Justin’s Pastor. Carl Lentz was the pastor of Hillsong New York. Since Carl was fired Justin now attends Judah Smith's church Churchome. Interestingly to note about Churchome, TD JAKES is on the board as well as Lou Taylor which is the manager of many stars like Kanye, Brittany Spears, Kardashians…. Lots of corruption to say the least. 

Hillsong has been in the news recently concerning various financial scandals and here is just one more… According to this article (https://tinyurl.com/2p8mjs3e) from March 14, 2023, “Hillsong Church has been charging child sponsorship and Christian humanitarian aid organization Compassion International $1 million annually to…(promote them) at its conferences and worship tours via on-stage presentations and permitting Compassion to have a display ‘stand’ at the event.”  

I have nothing to say except I feel sorry for the victims and their families because anything else would be useless rhetoric. The United States has no solution to this problem.  At least seven people are confirmed dead in a shooting yesterday at a small Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. The dead include three children and three adult staff, as well as a 28-year-old heavily armed shooter whom police shot dead. The shooting occurred at The Covenant School, an elementary school with about 200 students and 40 to 50 staff and operates as a ministry of Nashville’s Covenant Presbyterian Church. Officials said three children with gunshot wounds were transported to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. All three were pronounced dead. Metropolitan Nashville Police said they are still working to identify the victims and shooter.  

Yall this is just horrible, ( You Can Read About It Here ) how are you gonna find someone dead and not call the police or 911 for help....instead you just don't put them in your car and take them to the police station.....he knew what he was doing......sounds kinda fishy to me.  Investigators in Kenya are looking into the March 18 death of Elizabeth Githinji, the church leader of Passion for Christ Church in Nakuru County. Per reports from different sources, Githinji's body was said to be found hanging in the wardrobe of her ex-boyfriend, gospel singer Mirugi Dishon.  However, police did not have a chance to examine Githinji's body at the alleged scene of her death. That's because Dishon claims he found her, removed her corpse from the wardrobe, and then brought it to the police via his own car. Obviously, this has raised some red flags. Investigators and media are still piecing together the day's events, but accounts start with Githinji voluntarily going over to he

I’m shocked that Blac Chyna would even go on FOX NEWS of all places to talk about dedicating her life to Christ. Now y’all know that FOX NEWS is just using Blac Chyna to push their own narrative, they don’t give a care in the world about no born-again black women.   On Thursday (Mar. 23), the well-known reality TV star, American model, socialite, former stripper, and OnlyFans star Blac Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, shared on FOX NEWS what GOD was doing in her life. SMH!

Judah Smith and his West Coast megachurch, Churchome, are facing a class-action lawsuit for requiring staff to tithe 10% of their wages—a policy that violates two Washington state laws, the suit claims. The suit was filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court in the state of Washington on behalf of Rachel Kellogg, a post-production producer at Churchome. Also included in the suit are any church employees who contributed part of their wages to Churchome during the relevant time period, unless they opt out, said Eric Nusser, attorney for the plaintiffs. According to the suit, Churchome threatened Kellogg with termination if she didn’t give 10% of her wages back to the church, despite Kellogg’s claim of financial hardship. The alleged actions are consistent with Churchome’s company-wide policy of compulsory tithing, which is outlined in the church’s employee handbook, attached to the filing.  Thanks, Julie Roys💋  

What yall think? The issue of women preaching in the church and being pastors is a hotly discuss one and there are strong feelings on both sides. Yet, the bible seems pretty clear on the subject. There are numerous examples of women prophets in the bible, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Deborah was a judge who led Israel in the Old Testament. If you study the issue of women in Ministry, you'll see there is STRONG Biblical backing for women to be LEAD pastors. They're all throughout the Bible, and because a couple scriptures get taken out of context of what was actually being spoken and the culture at that moment, all women got the boot from their God-given calling. Not ok!!   I'm grateful that Rick Warren was willing to die on the sword so to speak for this issue. More ministers need to stand for Biblical truth and allow these powerful women to bring strength to the body of Christ. Acts 2:17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon

His Only Son is making history as the first-ever crowdfunded film to have a nationwide theatrical release." As with “The Chosen,” the movie’s distribution company is Angel Studios, founded by brothers, Neal and Jeffrey Harmon, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. So, if Angel Studio is Mormon based then they definitely get their doctrine and everything that they produce from their false doctrines. The question should Christians support films like this?  

Yall why is "Drag Queens" under attack? This GOP attack on drag queens and trans folks is 100% ridiculous. How do they want to “protect” our kids from drag queens but not from being slaughtered in their classrooms by assault weapons? Please somebody make it make sense.

What yall think about this? People who identify as gay in Uganda risk life in prison after parliament passed a new bill to crack down on homosexual activities. It also includes the death penalty in certain cases. A rights activist told the BBC the debate around the bill had led to fear of more attacks on gay people. "There is a lot of blackmail. People are receiving calls that 'if you don't give me money, I will report that you are gay,'" they said. The bill is one of the toughest pieces of anti-gay legislation in Africa. Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda but this bill introduces many new criminal offenses. As well as making merely identifying as gay illegal for the first time, friends, family, and members of the community would have a duty to report individuals in same-sex relationships to the authorities. It was passed with widespread support in Uganda's parliament on Tuesday evening. Source Here

Did yall know that the term "woke" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and refers to being aware of social and political issues, particularly those related to racial justice and inequality? White Conservative commentator Bethany Mandel co-authored a whole dang book on the “current woke indoctrination” supposedly going on around the country. But when asked to define the term at the very center of it, she flopped.   In recent years, the term has become more widely used and has taken on a broader meaning to describe a heightened awareness of various forms of social injustice and inequality, including those related to gender, sexuality, and economic class. Being "woke" implies a willingness to challenge conventional ideas and attitudes, and to recognize the ways in which systemic injustices can perpetuate discrimination and inequality. It is often associated with activism, social justice movements, and a commitment to dismantling oppressive structu

What do yall think about this? A woman who attends James River Church in Missouri claims prayer helped her regrow her three amputated toes in the span of 30 minutes. I guess she forgot that there is a scientific fact that the body does not regrow limbs, once gone they are gone. The pastor has claimed that a "creative miracle" caused the woman's amputated toes to regrow. Still, an apparent refusal to provide any proof has inspired a very skeptical response from some. "Pastor John Lindell of James River Church claims that the prayer-fueled miracle took place last week during a service at the church's Joplin, Missouri, branch, according to an article published Wednesday by the Springfield News-Leader. "The healing supposedly took place during a service hosted by guest pastor Bill Johnson of Redding, California's Bethel Church—which made headlines in 2019 after unsuccessfully attempting to "resurrect" a deceased 2-year-old girl." 

During her sermon last week, Pastor Jameliah Gooden of Charlotte, North Carolina, took a moment to call out the woman she accused of attempting to come between her and her husband. In a now-viral video, Gooden can be seen addressing her flock from the pulpit, but they were not expecting their Sunday devotion to be tainted with details about her marriage( you can read about it here  )Now Gospel Music Stars Fred Hammond and Deitrick Haddon are defending her actions. Sorry, but you can't support this type of behavior. That only makes it worse and more acceptable. I'm glad she apologize and hopefully repented. You can't lead God's people this way. 

Seems to me old, Johnny Hunt is getting bad legal advice here. According to online reports, he’s been caught lying recently, by his own admission, and his credibility is shot. I just can’t see how any lawyer would advise him to file this lawsuit, in my opinion, his credibility is already shot given that he lied to investigators last summer. “No contact whatsoever” with the young woman.  Johnny Hunt, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, alleging defamation and invasion of privacy. The lawsuit — which also names the SBC’s Executive Committee and Guidepost Solutions, which was hired to conduct a lengthy investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and mishandling of complaints in the denomination — was filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. Hunt’s suit seeks a jury trial. A disgraced former Southern Baptist president is suing the denomination

I’m so proud of the spiritual journeys I see many of us take...respect to Black Chyna, she is on a journey and she saw a light or got a calling....it's good to see Blac Chyna walking out her confession of faith.....she has toned down her famed eye-popping curves by undergoing breast and butt reductions...... the OnlyFans star , 34, has previously admitted to having a list of procedures, including four breast surgeries, liposuction, and a backside enhancement, posted a series of candid videos to Instagram documenting her surgery journey. It’s so beautiful seeing black women embracing their true identities or getting back to it.   Last year, Angela Renée, the mother of two, who is also known as Blac Chyna went public by saying she's a born-again Christian after being baptized on her birthday...Chyna - who wowed in a plunging orange dress at the NAACP Image Awards recently - revealed that she never had a Brazilian butt lift but had silicone injections into her backside starting wh

Throughout my timeline, I see people talking about this movie. I just can't believe people are actually supporting the film. There's nothing wrong with the message of deliverance, what's wrong is some of the folks delivering the message. I see a lot of posts today all over the internet from people who went to see this movie last night. Stories of people screaming, rolling on the floor, throwing up all over the theater, etc. What am I missing here? There is No Biblical Example of a believer in Jesus Christ being demon-possessed. All cases of demonic possession were with those who were unbelievers. YET...Greg Locke claims all Christians are "demon-possessed" (whatever that means) whether they realize it or not. Greg Locke is now allowed to re-write scripture? Is that what this is about? Disturbing... 😐 Update, I hear the film will be playing again on April 11 and 12. right after we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ who “when He sets us free we are free ind

According to a report from The New York Post, federal prosecutors allege in an indictment that controversial Brooklyn Bishop Lamar Whitehead illegally fixed his bank records in order to finance his million-dollar New Jersey mansion. The feds claim that Whitehead altered his bank records to show that an LLC he controlled made an average of $2 million when it actually had less than $10 so that he could get approved for the mortgage. The 44-year-old created a fake bank account so that he could get the bank loan in 2019. Whitehead “fabricated bank records for AMS LLC, from at least in or about October 2018 up to and including … February 2019, in an effort to obtain a mortgage in excess of $1.3 million to fund [his] purchase of a home in Paramus, New Jersey,” Manhattan federal prosecutors wrote in the indictment. The feds also claim he applied for a $250,000 business loan using the LLC, Anointing Management Services, by misrepresenting the finances of the company on that application as w

Well, Hillsong Brian Houston is in the news once again, ( you can read it here) this time with fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion. I’m afraid way too many ministry leaders live lavish lifestyles and use the church’s money as their spending spree. This is not surprising and frankly, I’m not surprised by this article. It's being alleged Joyce Meyers, TD Jakes, and possibly Chris Hoges has being paid tens of thousands of dollars in honorariums. I don't believe honorariums are wrong. What do yall think?  BREAKING: Hillsong church has been accused of spending on private jets, luxury retreats, designer goods, and even custom skateboards! Time to tax the churches, yes or no? pic.twitter.com/3BPJtzcxKu — Just saying (@kangaroos991) March 10, 2023

This is sad being a pastor and leader of a black baptist association group and to have a mess like this associated with your label/label is bad. ( You Can Read And Here The Tape Here ) There are reports that those higher-ups got tapes of him calling some woman a *itch , an idiot, and threats against his own wife. I couldn't believe that this is the President of the Baptist Ministers Conference. Someone said hearing his voice on the tape was eye-opening of the man who could use such language.   Rev. K.W. Tulloss is pastor of the historical Weller Street Missionary Baptist Church, Los Angeles, California, he was reappointment as the President of the Baptist Ministers Conference of Los Angeles. I wonder does his congregation know he allegedly admitted to watching Only Fans, and Swingers websites and soliciting his daughter's friend for sexual relations as a guest in his home.

What do you all think? Christian Rapper Lecrae is facing backlash for being “Woke” and keeping it real. Heck, most of us Black people are "woke", that's our word that we created after all. We understand the context behind it and the value we get from it. Them coming in and changing the word & flipping it to fit their standards and political recklessness is very typical of them. White evangelicals use Christianity as a form of dissonance to justify their rhetoric, racism, and intolerance. They’ve warped the language in the Bible to fit narratives that absolve them of accountability. There is nothing wrong with being woke.

What do you all think? Do you agree with the following statement that women's ministries are breeding grounds for Witches in the Church? And it gives cover for women who dabble in the occult. These are women who talk to demonic spirits and worship demonic gods calling them ancestors. If you notice, these women NEVER get healed. They just get deeper in sin, often becoming morbidly obese, sickly, old maids and mommies to cats/dogs. For this reason, Apostle Paul said women should be silent in the Church... 1 Corinthians 14:34-35   Source Here:

What yall think? Legendary Gospel Singer Kim Burrell fans were spun into a frenzy of worry last night (March 4) after R&B Singer Tyrese Gibson took to social media to report the Gospel diva was battling an unexpected health scare. The R&B singer was beside himself with worry and began asking for donations and prayer warriors to come to the aid of his Spiritual mother..... In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram Tyrese says Kim Burrell is suffering from pneumonia in both lungs and is worried sick about missing shows and losing money. Make it make sense! Why did Tyrese think Kim could not pay her medical bills? Plus, didn't she berate the public for being broke???  

I’m glad she is speaking out. I never cared for their show. You could always tell the mom and dad we’re not quite right. And the dad was incredibly creepy. I once worked with some devout followers of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, founded by Bill Gothard. Jinger Duggar from the mega family of the Duggars has now renounced his philosophies that she grew up practicing. Jinger Duggar was a breakout star on the TLC hit series “19 Kids and Counting,” which chronicled the infamous Duggar family’s strict religious lifestyle and iron-fist Christian values. Since the show, a flood of controversy has surrounded the Duggar family—from the #FreeJinger movement to Josh Duggar, Jinger’s brother, being sentenced to 12 years in prison for child pornography charges. Jinger joins “Tamron Hall” for an exclusive sit-down to talk about life now, her relationship with her parents, and raising children with her husband Jeremy Vuolo.    Jinger Duggar said that "she thought it was all true, all

This Pastor had someone race to him on stage, and put a gun to his head for teaching on tithing....and the crowd said, Amen???? Y'all, I can't imagine sitting in church ready to worship the Lord, and out comes a man with a gun. How awful! Think of the visitors that might have been there! What about the children? The elderly? How traumatizing! It seems like it should illegal. What do you all think? New Testament doesn't talk about tithing but it talks about cheerful giving as the heart leads. Christ was a son of a carpenter. Paul was a tent maker. Peter was a fisherman. Luke was a doctor etc. the pastor should go look for a job and work. 

Does he think Fredrick Douglass would've supported actual white nationalists like Marjorie Taylor Green and the modern GOP? I think NOT! Hollywood actor Isaiah Washington took to Twitter Monday to say that he's retiring early from the entertainment industry and will spend his time visiting as much of the country as he can before it is overtaken by communists and socialists. Nope, sir, you love your wealth so much that you can't stand to look at poor people or live in the US that has clearly fallen into wage slave capitalism but let's call it socialism/communism and don't want to contribute to society, so like a coward you out.  Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington retires from entertainment industry after complaining the ‘haters have won’ https://t.co/8au80lecrT — UK Search (@UKSearch1) March 2, 2023

  Pastor Stacie Wood, teaching pastor at Saddleback Church and wife of lead pastor Andy Wood, wrote an Instagram post about her church’s ousting. She credited her Southern Baptist upbringing for shaping her faith, but stood firm on heeding her calling despite being “at the center of the discussion.”   “ I’m serving Jesus under the authority and in alignment with my spiritual leaders, ”  Wood wrote.   “ We believe that women can be gifted and empowered as teachers and as pastors. ”   Her husband told the congregation during weekend services about his plan to release a video explaining the church’s position on women pastors. Wood told The Associated Press last year that the Bible “teaches that men and women were given spiritual gifts by God.” Source Here:
