Did you know Bishop Eric McDaniel Could sing good gospel songs?

Author: Unknown


After listening to Co-pastor Subrenia preach a sermon that blessed us, we wanted to see what was her husband up to lately.  If you recall the McDaniel's previously took over Bishop Joby and Dr. Sheryl Brady's church in Durham, North Carolina until there was an alleged accusation against the man of God, Bishop Eric McDaniel.  After that situation, the McDaniel's never stopped preaching God's Word and continued on with their own church.

We just happened to find this video on You Tube of Bishop Eric McDaniel singing like they used to, in the black church.   You cannot even find black preachers singing the way he is singing on this following video, because they have been so focused on fame and fortune, they are no longer blessed to sing with with the anointing.  Furthermore, most black preachers have gotten so sophisticated they would be ashamed to allow God to use them, the way we see Bishop Eric McDaniel singing with the anointing.  Also, we just remembered, Bishop Eric McDaniel is a gospel artist, but he's not like the average one.

Bishop TD Jakes says There Are More People in Theaters on Friday Than in Pews on Sunday

Author: Unknown


Bishop T. D. Jakes gives an important reason for using the media to preach God's Word.  Allegedly, he says more people are in the theaters on Friday than in the pews on Sundays.  We can agree with him, although it's been that way for a longtime.  Christian television has been around for many years, since the late 60's and early 70's.  If people love God enough, they will seek him.

 According to BlackChristianNews.com, Jakes says, "The great commission calls Christians to go into the world and spread the Good News, we can use television, we can use books, but there are more people in the theaters on Friday nights than the pews on Sunday morning." 

Yes, it's very important for us to use the media to preach God's Word, but it is also very important that Americans and people in foreign countries continue to attend church every Sunday and through the week.

SCR Take on 'Preachers of LA: Tea and Sympathy'

Author: Unknown

First and foremost, we want to express how displeased we are of Bishop Noel Jones relationship with his lady friend, Loretta.  How can you be a man of God, preaching His Word to lost souls and your lost yourself?  Now, we have heard hearsay of Bishop Noel Jones alleged affairs with different women, but we never thought we would actually see it on this show, 'Preachers of LA.'

Bishop Noel Jones nonchalance about Loretta showing up at the tea party as his lady friend is a clear sign God's church needs to return to complete holiness.  Again, as we always say, it is not tradition to be holy, it is God's way.   God is sick and tired of men and women preaching his word with all the filth and carnality in their own lives.  Just what do you have to say to a sinner, if you are allegedly sinning yourself.   If you are fornicating, how can you preach to the fornicator?  If you are fornicating, how can you preach to the murderer?   Sin is sin and any preacher who has a girlfriend or boyfriend on the side has no business in the pulpit.


As for Deitrick Haddon's fiance who is now his wife, Dominique should have never been invited, because she is with a man who is allegedly too carnal and the both of them know nothing about being holy.   This tea party should have been strictly for holy women, married to holy men.  There is a woman who was the first wife to Pastor Haddon and she, Damita who should not be ever forgotten about.  She was the woman who stood by him to fight same sex marriage, let's not forget.  So, if they fought something so unethical together, there's no reason why they should not have remained together.  First ladies of the church should not carry on as though the first wife does not exist.  There should be prayer for reconciliation, but if not, the new woman should never be invited any tea party for first ladies if she did not meet her man in the guidelines, strictly according to God's Word. Furthermore, there were alleged nude photos of Deitrick Haddon surfacing the internet, so this is an unholy couple and not an example of how a pastor and first lady should be for today's church.  Therefore, Dominique should never be accepted in the circle of first ladies, especially if they are living strictly according to God's Word as holy women.

Mt. Zion Baptist church in Chicago sue to get Pastor out of Pulpit

Author: Unknown


This case of Pastor Robert Williams being ousted by a few church members at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Chicago sort of reminds us of the case in Bakersfield, Ca.  For so many years, we question why there has been some churches that refuse certain pastors, after he is accepted by the majority of his congregation. It's a dangerous thing to fire a man of God, especially if you know God has called him to pastor the church.  Such disputes should not be tolerated in God's house.


According to the ChicagoTribune.com, the increasingly acrimonious dispute pits a relatively new pastor against some longtime congregants. Besides the lawsuit, a threatening, anonymous letter Williams reported receiving led to a police investigation late last year. An order of protection tried to bar one member from attending church. And a February meeting ended with a call to police.

In the meantime, we will keep Pastor Robert Williams and the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Chicago in our prayers.

Black Church News: Yolanda Adams Interviews Bishop Paul S. Morton

Author: Unknown

On the Yolanda Adams radio talk show, Adams interviews Bishop Paul Morton.  Bishop Morton talks about stepping down from the organization he founded, Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship.  It's very interesting that he voluntarily resigned, because we do not hear of it too often, especially when one is asked to stepped down, after violating God's Kingdom.  However, we know Bishop Paul Morton to be such a holy man of God and possibly, he knew his timing came to an end to oversee his anointed spirit-filled Christian organization.

Christian Woman Offered to Pay Groceries for Man who stole her wallet

Author: Unknown

Jessica Eaves approached a man who stole her wallet while shopping in the store and requested he return her wallet.  She even offered to buy his groceries for him.  This is an amazing story. Most women would scream and cry for help, but Jessica's courage caused her to remain very calm and polite.  Where did that courage come from?  Most definitely, God. 

According to ChristianPost.com, Jessica Eaves, who is also the leader of the Christian outreach team at First Christian Church in Guthrie, reportedly walked up to the man she suspected of taking her wallet and demanded it back with an ultimatum that made it impossible to refuse.  

We thank God our dear sister in Christ, Jessica Eaves was safe while using wisdom when approaching this thief and hopefully, he accepted Christ as his personal Savior.

Former Homeless Man Now Pastor Sleeps in Dumpster to Help the Poor

Author: Unknown
Although Pastor Langdon Cassidy is no longer homeless, he is showing the love of Jesus Christ, by returning to the dumpsters.   He's sending a strong message by allowing people to see him as a homeless man to help people whom are yet homeless.  Tell us, how many pastors will make a stand like Pastor Cassidy, unashamedly?
According to ChristianPost.com , Pastor Langdon Cassidy of the Matthew 25:35-40 Ministry, a ministry solely focused on helping the homeless in Houston and its surrounding communities, took on the challenge to "walk in a homeless persons shoes" after having a series of dreams about it. In his recurring dreams, he constantly found himself inside of a dumpster while trying to grab onto everything that people would hand to him.
In the meantime, we will continue to pray for Pastor Langdon Cassidy, but we want to stress to the rest of you ministers of the gospel.  If you used to be homeless, don't forget where you came from, because God calling for men and women to help the poor and if you have a testimony, you can help a lot of people come out of poverty.  Of course, it's wonderful to always hear pastors testify about being on drugs, on alcohol and once being pimps. but we don't hear as many admitting to being poor.

In our opinion, we believe her husband and Bishop Ron Gibson are very sincere.  We believe the both of them are serious about God's business. However, the rest of the cast members we do not think they are doing a good job in leading viewers to Christ and we will pray for them.

2,500 Christian Leaders Rally Against Gay Marriage in Chicago: Would Dr. MLK Join Them if he was alive?

Author: Unknown

We are living in a very sad age.  Who would have thought equality would mean to go against God's Word in America?   When Dr. Martin Luther King was living, we wonder who's side would he be on?  If he was a holy man, he probably would be marching with these 2,500 christian leaders in Chicago who oppose gay marriage, even after he fought for equality for African Americans.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, as many as 2,500 people, waving signs like "Marriage is Sacred" and "Marriage One Man One Woman," crowded into the Statehouse to keep the heat on the Illinois House and to block passage of the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act, which has been stalled since the spring.

(Black) Christians are in a difficult challenge today and we wonder if Dr. King would join this rally against gay marriage, if he was alive today?   What did equality really mean to Dr. Martin Luther King, did mean going against God's Word to please homosexuals?  If we were to go back in time and ask him, he probably would think we're insane.

It's so wonderful to know Bishop Donald Hilliard and his wife, Pastor Phyllis Hilliard will celebrate 30 years in pastoral service. Of course, it's always good celebrate since there are many pastors losing their ministries these days.   Certain ministries have survived after the recession, but many have closed, not just because of lack of tithes and offerings, but because of the personal flaws of their pastors.  So, it's very wonderful to see this couple celebrate 30 years in the ministry and we pray they continue to have many more.

Calif. Pastor Arrested in Iran After Shouting in Front of Saeed Abedini's Prison

Author: Unknown

 

This man of God was arrested in Iran for shouting in front of a prison, 'Let my people go!'  Pastor Eddie Romero is very courageous, a type of spirit we don't see much among clergy members today.  God had to tell him to do it and we know he will be blessed for it.  Wow!  What would this country be like, if we had more pastors like him? 

According to ChristianPost.com, Eddie Romero of Exodus8one, a faith group with a mission to "engage belligerent governments/societies (with respect to faith) directly in order to address the injustice towards Christians and other religious minorities," was arrested on Monday in Tehran in front of the prison. He had been shouting "let my people go" in the Farsi language, and demanded the freedom of four Christian converts and a human rights advocate being kept there, including Pastor Saeed Abedini.  

In the meantime, we will keep Pastor Romero in our prayers.  God bless him for his obedience and courage.

Hollywood News: Stephen Baldwin Starring in New Christian Film

Author: Unknown

Hollywood actor, Stephen Baldwin who is a born again Christian has been going through a trial.  Allegedly, the movie star says because he is a born again Christian he has not got any major roles in Hollywood for over a decade.  However, now he's back, starring in a Christian film.  We suppose this is what God wants anyway, Christians to take over the movie industry, even in Hollywood. 

According to ChristianPost.com, Baldwin came closer to Christ and became a born-again Christian after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Since that time he has been a strong supporter and advocate of his faith going to conventions all over the country while spreading the word of Jesus Christ.

Celebrity News: Ex-NFL Player and Pastor Irving Fryar Indicted In $690,000 Mortgage Scam

Author: Unknown
 
Many of you football fans probably remember this famous football celebrity, Irving Fryer.  Pastor Irving Fryer, an ex-player for the NFL has been indicted in a mortgage scam.  We pray God brings him out of this, whether he's guilty or not.  It's such a shame so many pastors are getting caught up in these mortgage scams.  
 
What's so bad is his mother, Allene McGhee is also indicted with Pastor Fryer.  

According to Black Christian News, Fryar of Springfield, N.J., is pastor of a church he founded and the head coach of the Robbinsville High School football team. His 72-year-old mother lives in Willingboro. The former wide receiver played for four NFL teams between 1984 and 2000, including the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.  

It would have probably been better if Pastor Irving Fryar started a football team, whether than to get caught up allegedly scamming people.  However, we will keep him and his mother in our prayers.

Pastor Chuck Cooper's Megachurch Membership Shrink from Over 5,000 to 650

Author: Unknown


Pastor Chuck Cooper's church in Orlando, Florida is yet beautiful, but church attendance has decreased from the thousands to mid hundreds.  In this age of a recession, people may suddenly think that's the reason, but not necessarily.   It could be because of how the church is being operated these days, people just want a carnal church service or people are just not hungry for God as they use to be.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, one of Orlando's first megachurches, Calvary has seen its congregation shrink from more than 5,000 to 650 about the size it was when Cooper joined in 1970.

Black Church News: Pastor Pulls Gun on Robbery Suspect

Author: Unknown

This pastor thinks he was doing a good deed by holding up a robbery suspect at the Dollar General store, but we don't think God sees it that way.   Pastor Sanders allegedly says he saw the gunman demanding an employee to get on the ground and then suddenly, the gunman turned toward him with his gun.  That's when Pastor Sanders says he thought he'd teach him a lesson.   Wow, what type of day are we living in, pastors owning guns?
 
You see, there's so much carnality in the church, most pastors don't have any power, so many of them are now carrying guns, very sad.  

The fact that Pastor Sanders said he told the gunman he was doing it out of love does not show the love of Jesus Christ, at all.

Celebrity News: Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s Docu on the Role of Cars in ‘The African Americans’

Author: Unknown


Henry Louis Gates' new documentary should be very interesting to see.  He will reveal the history of cars among African Americans.  We suppose we'll also see some black inventors of some classic cars.  

According to Eurweb.com, in the 1930s through 1950s was a pretty dangerous time for blacks to travel by car as the towns that often refused to serve them weren’t really safe for them to drive through. Gates says some black drivers used “Negro Motorist Green Book” to find friendly places to travel along the way.

We look forward to seeing Henry Louis Gates new documentary.

First AME’s Former Pastor Says He’s Troubled By Church Upheaval

Author: Unknown

Now, the former pastor of First AME Church in LA, Rev. Cecil Murray is speaking about the troubles that allegedly started by Rev. John J. Hunter.  He's very upset to see his church enduring such hardships and we can understand why, since he was the pastor for many years.

According to LA Times, a $13.5-million reserve was depleted and debts totaled more than $500,000. And some of the nine rental properties acquired as part of Murray's efforts to serve thousands of low-income residents now sit in disrepair, some infested with termites and mold.

This is very sad that after Rev. Cecil Murray's retirement, First AME Church has not been the same. Too bad, he didn't have a close friend or a child who knew how he operated to become pastor. Now, we can sort of understand why children take over their parents churches, most of the time.

In his final days as pastor of First African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev. Cecil L. “Chip” Murray compiled, copied and buried piles of records amassed over the 27 years he led the congregation.

Ex-Homosexual Ministry Sues London Transport Company Over Pro-Homosexual Bus Ads

Author: Unknown

 

Thank God for strong warriors within His Kingdom.  An ex-gay Ministry has filed a lawsuit against Pro-Homosexual advertisements.  We pray for the same courage in America, because although we do hear testimonies from ex-gays, we do not hear a lot of Christians taking power away from the homosexual community.  It seems as though they ruling the decisions of our government to make our nation anti-Christian.

Black Church News: More Black Pastors Condemn 'Preachers of L.A.': Why?

Author: Unknown



Let us ask you this important question, Why are a lot of pastors always trying to cover dirt behind the pulpit?   We don't feel many of these pastors want 'Preachers in LA' off, because it doesn't properly represent them, but it's showing what's real.  Specifically the black church has always covered up all types of sins they commit, but just focus on sinners out in the world.  

According to BlackChristianNews.com, the Rev. Michael J.T. Fisher, pastor at the Greater Zion Church Family in Compton, Calif., joined Perkins in criticizing the show, which broke records for the Oxygen network with its premiere episode on Oct. 9. "I don't have a problem with them doing a reality show," he was quoted as saying. "I have a problem with the content that's displayed."

Of course, we believe there maybe be two or three pastors on 'Preachers in LA' for show, but there are some serious issues a few of them are dealing with.  As we've said before, we admire Bishop Ron Gibson who reached out to feuding gang leaders. Then, there's a situation with Pastor Haizlip and his wife ministering to a transgendered man.  You see, this type of caption can lead more souls into the church.  So, what are they ashamed of?  Why are they trying to cover up, because Pastor Deitrick Haddon is being real and showing who he really is?  Are the worried that Bishop Noel Jones talking about having a woman would make people focus on what they could be doing behind close doors?  These preachers need to stop the hypocrisy and just start being real, because if they keep covering up their dirt, more sinners will stay away from the church.
