Colorado youth pastor arrested for sex assault on a child


Jason Roberson allegedly messed with this 23 year-old woman when she was just 15 years old.  Now many of you would probably blame her and ask, 'why doesn't she forgive?'   This has nothing to do with forgiveness, if you had to carry this all your life and then, probably think about all the other young teens under this this guy's authority.  However, it cannot be understand that she continued to have an inappropriate relationship with this man for 7 years afterwards, no excuse.  

According to kdvr.com, the victim is a 23-year-old who lives in Boulder. She told investigators that she and Roberson had an inappropriate relationship that began when she was 15 years old. She said it continued for seven years.  

We pray this youth pastor has repented for what he has done in the past, only if he's guilty of the accusation.  However, when we look at both sides of this case, when someone is accused of molestation, there should be no contact with the alleged abuser  This case against Jason Roberson maybe in favor of the defendant, because of the relationship that continued for several years.

Black Church News: Pastor and Firefighter was arrested after he waved at cops

Allegedly, cops this Evansville pastor was just waving at the cops when he was handcuffed.  Pastor Madison was accused of flipping them off.  Although, many see this as a racial incident, Pastor George Madison says not so.  

According to Mail Online, through his work on the local fire department, he is familiar with a number of the police officers in Evansville and he thought he recognized one of the men in the car so he waved. That is not how the police interpreted it, however, as they claim that they thought he was flicking them off. The officers stopped Madison, and, according to Madison, they were getting confrontational. He then took out his phone and went to call the police chief, Billy Bolin, who he is friends with. The officers told him to hang up the phone and get on the ground.

It very bad just to be handcuffed even if the cops thought this Pastor George Madison was giving them a bad sign.  However, thank God they did not harm him any way.

We just want to ask you a question, are things so bad in this country, we cannot even politely wave at police officers?

Two California Pastors Arrested for Preaching Outside DMV, Face Trespassing Charges

We do not know if you recall the story, but Pastor Brett Anthony Coronado and Mark Allen Mackey were both arrested for preaching the gospel outside of a DMV in California.Things are so modern these days, many businesses and government locations just do not want any messengers for Christ preaching outdoors.  No doubt, this is why things are so troubled in our American society.   

According to ChristianPost.com, Attorney Robert Tyler with Advocates for Faith & Freedom, the group defending the two pastors in their criminal lawsuit, told CBS that his clients are constitutionally protected to express their faith on public property, that property being the parking lot of the DMV.

In the meantime, we will keep these two pastor in our prayers, because missionaries and pastors should have the right to witnesses to lost souls in public, it's called 'freedom of religion.'

Should Pastor Joshua Swain be forgiven for stealing money from the church?


After watching this news clip, regarding this former pastor of The View church in Illinois, we heard two different opinions, regarding if Joshua Swain should be forgiven for theft.  In our opinion, Pastor Joshua Swain should be forgiven, but should move forward in his life so God can deliver him from the spirit of theft.   However, we think people make all types of mistakes and can be delivered and set free from them.

The question is, should or could Pastor Joshua Swain be pastor of The View church ever again?  However, many people do not forgive and may not trust Him.  However, once he is delivered and set free from the demon of theft, God will trust Him to pastor again in the future, if He called Him to oversee a church or preach the gospel.

According to wpsdlocal6.com, prosecutors also said Swain stole the money from The View church, formerly First Baptist Church, and also used the name of a congregation member to take more than $10,000 from a bank. On July 26th, Swain was arrested and charged with theft and aggravated identity theft.


In the meantime, we will keep Pastor Joshua Swain in our prayers.  Also, we pray for The View church and that God will lead the right pastor to take over the ministry.  In the meantime, we also pray that God will lead all members and officials of The View church to forgive Pastor Swain.  For this reason, if they do not learn to forgive people in the church, how can they every accept all types of sinners coming to the church to be delivered and set free from their past sins?

Former Pastor Arrested for Stealing from Church

Allegedly, Joshua Swain who is the former pastor of The View Church is accused of stealing over $100,000.   This has been one of the biggest problems with some pastors, it seems if they are not satisfied with their salary, they feel they have the right to steal from their church.  However, no pastor should ever feel he or she has the right to take from their church, because they do not own the sanctuary.

According to wsiltv.com, Swain is also accused of using another man's personal information, according to the charges, "for the purpose of obtaining money and credit from Chase Bank" in excess of $10,000.

In the meantime, we pray Swain repents for theft and willing pays back every cent he stol from The View Church.
