The younger brother of famous evangelist Benny Hinn, Sam Hinn has just returned to the pulpit, after taking a leave of absence, eight months ago.  Hinn allegedly admitted to an affair with one of his church members.   Saints of God, it's nothing but the trick of the enemy for any pastor or minister to fall for adultery or fornication.  We've heard this same old story, time and time again for many years.  We pray Hinn to remain strong, after coming back to minister at his church.   

According to BlackChristianNews.com, earlier this year, Hinn admitted to allowing himself "to be drawn into a relationship that has caused much hurt and pain to my wife and family. I have repented and asked for and received their forgiveness. Scripture states that I must bring forth the fruit of repentance if I expect to be restored."

In the meantime, we will keep Pastor Sam Hinn, his family and church in our prayers.

As many of you know, Mellody Hobson recently tied the knot with the love of her life, George Lucas, creator of Star Wars.    Hobson was already a billionaire of her own company, so the two already had wealth in common.  However, what's even more wonderful is that this lovely couple brought a beautiful child into the world by surrogate.   Their baby girl's name is Everest Hobson Lucas. 

According to nydailynews.com, Everest Hobson Lucas, who was delivered by surrogate, is the first biological child for the 69-year-old Lucas, who has three adopted children: Jett, 20, Katie, 25, and Amanda, 32.  

Thank God a baby has come into the world, the right way, between one man and one woman, the way God originally intended.   We need more married couples like Mellody Hobson and Frank Lucas to tie the knot and bring more beautiful babies on God's earth.  Let's have faith for it and make it happen.

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas and wife Mellody Hobson welcome baby girl

Of course, we've heard of Jesus in Spanish, pronounced with an H.  However, we agree with the judge, the name Messiah should belong to only Jesus Christ.  In our opinion, it's very dangerous for any mother to name their child, Messiah, for the child may grow up thinking they are the Son of God.  A Tennessee mother did not think it was any harm, but the judge taught her a lesson.

According to KTLA.com, “...the word Messiah is a title and it’s a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ,” the judge told WBIR-TV, a local channel.

Of course, we know there has been a recession for some time now, but there is no excuse for some pastors breaking the law.  Every since many church members lack funds to give in tithes and offerings, it seems like more and more pastors are finding some way to get more money, illegally.  In this case, this former pastor of Goodwill Baptist Church allegedly stole money and resigned after he was confronted about it. 

According to wxii12.com, John Albert Jackson Sr., 63, faces more 26 total counts, including 9 counts of felony embezzlement, 12 counts of malfeasance and four counts of obtaining property by false pretense and conspiracy to commit a felony.  

'Dear Lord, take the black church and even the multi-cultural church back on its knees to seek your face.  For there are too many preachers focused on money.'  Saints of God, it's time for pastors to be more focused on saving souls and not finding some way to crook their way into getting more finance.

Winston-Salem pastor arrested in $66K embezzlement case at former Madison church

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.'

There's been a fourth arrest made for the death of Jerrick Jackson, Bishop Wiley Jackson's brother.  It is very good the police are cracking the case and have caught these criminals.  However, there is more work to do in black church.   We sincerely hope this opens the eyes of some modern day preachers who do not think it is necessary to seek God like the saints used to, years ago.  We do not have time to have anymore sophisticated conferences, but we need to make time for more revivals across America. 

According to AJC.com, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said Demetrius Morgan, 17, was picked up Wednesday morning by the department’s Fugitive Unit, and was taken to the Fulton County Jail. 

 In the meantime, our prayers are with the Jackson family and we pray these young criminals repent for taking the lift of Jerrick Jackson and robbing his family.

The third alleged killer of Bishop Wiley Jackson's brother has been arrested.  Yes, thank God, but it's very sad this is an 18-year-old.  The only hope for black youth is Jesus Christ, simply because there seems to be no more respect for their elders.   They are willing to kill for what they want and not care about the families they hurt. 

According to AJC.com, Felton D. Lovejoy, 18, was taken into custody on charges of murder and armed robbery, Sgt. Greg Lyon said. He was transported to the Fulton County Jail. 

We encourage the saints of God to be more interested in running revivals and say no more to sophisticated conferences.   It's time to get more souls saved and set free.  This is a serious battle on God's earth and Satan does not care if he uses the black youth to take lives before their time.   It's time for the parents of the black youth to seek God and stand firm on fully abiding by God's Word in their households.   This did not have to happen, but it there seems to be a great falling away from Christ in the black community, including the black church.  Furthermore, many black youth have no respect for themselves and do not want to work for what they want in life. 

 In the meantime, we will keep Bishop Wiley Jackson in our prayers.

Oprah Winfrey opens up about Trayvon Martin and allegedly said his death is no different than Emmett Till.  However, Oprah Winfrey went on to admit we still have came along ways, regardless of all the injustices in America.  We certainly can agree with celebrity talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, although it hurts to experience some racial situations, we've still have come along ways in this country. 

According to Mail Online,  'Trayvon Martin, parallel to Emmett Till,' Oprah told The Grio's Chris Witherspoon in a short clip of the interview that aired on MSNBC Monday. ''Let me just tell you, in my mind, same thing'.   

We really respect Oprah for being honest, which many other celebrities in this era would be afraid to do.

Allegedly, NY Yankee's Alex Rodriguez stated he is owed millions of dollars if he continues to play with the team, which is why he could be suspended.   So, it seems like this is an inside job, folks.   You heard of conspiracies, right?  These sort of things occur all the time, even in corporate America.

According to KTLA.com, Rodriguez, who has been playing in the minor league as he recovers from injuries, told reporters Saturday that he is looking forward to rejoining his teammates in Chicago on Monday and wants to get back on the field.

If Major League Baseball does not have proof to suspend Alex Rodriguez, then they can't do it.  Furthermore, he should get all the millions that was promised to him on the contract.  Also, he could sue for false allegations, because accusing a person of being on drug is a serious charge and so unfair.

The church members of Gospel Tabernacle Cathedral applauded when Bishop Wiley Jackson said police arrested the second alleged killer of his baby brother, Jerrick.  They also were very happy to hear Bishop Jackson said he forgives them.   We also heard Bishop Jackson's thought on the possible motive of these young men, although there is no excuse for what they did to his late brother. 

According to BlackChristianNews.com, the bishop made his brother's death part of a larger lesson, geared mostly to young black males, about how to react to robberies and police profiling without getting killed or arrested. He also spoke about the death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. -- an injustice, he said, but a consequence of being black in America and handling a situation all wrong.    
In the meantime, we will keep Bishop Wiley Jackson, his family and church in our prayers.

This homosexual couple allegedly plans to sue the Church of England, because the church officials refuse to marry them.  Barrie Barlow and Tony have been together for 7 years.  However, it's very sad neither of them may not realize this is a spiritual matter, not a civil matter, if you will read the biblical commandments against same sex unions at the end of this post.

According to BlackChristianNews.com,  Mr Drewitt-Barlow said that while he welcomed the passing of legislation for same-sex marriage, provisions exempting churches from performing the weddings meant they still felt discriminated against.

•  1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

• Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." 

• Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." 

• Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

Saints of God, a lot of times church people do not understand why we discourage them from associating with worldly people and being like them.  One of the main reasons, many sinners have no respect for the church nor their pastors.   This young pastor, Tim Kirby was gunned down just for asking some rowdy neighbors to keep their noise down. 

No, we are not saying Tim Kirby was a worldly man, but-the way he was gunned down by worldly people is evidence why we should follow God's Word when He instructs us to be completely different from the world.    Tim Kirby was a good man, a good father and a man of God who did not deserve to be gunned down for any reason.  If these people are this ruthless, why would the black church, mega church or any type of church want to act like them in order to get fame or fortune?   Let us think about how they desire to kill children of God just because we are not on the Devil's territory.   Therefore, let us try to win them to Christ, but we must distance ourselves so much, God can send His angels to take charge over our lives and protect us.  Obviously, the killer nor his sidekicks wanted Christ to gun this man of God down.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, Tim Kirby was at his home off Heritage Place Monday night. Police say his neighbors were having a big party with loud music and people screaming. Kirby went outside to ask his neighbors to bring the noise down.  Believe it or not, this type of foolishness has been going on for too many years, now.  It's time for the saints of God to be wise and just now live around people who have no consideration for their neighbors, especially men and women of God.

Just look at that above snapshot of the apartment complex, it looks decent, but these days, you cannot do enough for some black folks to make them act right.  There are a lot of decent looking neighbors, but if people do not have Christ, you cannot live around them.

May Pastor Time Kirby rest in peace, he was only 46 years old.  It's so very sad, he's left all four of his children behind.  Let us keep the Kirby family in our prayers.

We are so very happy to know two people have just been arrested for the death of prominent Atlanta pastor's brother.  As many of you know, Bishop Wiley Jackson lost his brother, Jerrick during an armed robbery.  Jerrick was trying to protect his family when he was gunned down.  Some sources allegedly claim, he and his fiance were followed by these alleged killers because of their luxury car.

According to AJC.com, Bishop Wiley Jackson, pastor of Gospel Tabernacle Cathedral and Jerrick Jackson’s older brother, issued an email statement Friday while traveling, praising police for the arrest.

In the meantime, our prayers are with Bishop Wiley Jackson and his family.  Although we are happy police have made their second arrest, we know it cannot bring Bishop Jackson's brother back.

Things are so modern in today's average black church and multi-cultural ministries, we never thought we would hear of anyone being conscious of going to see any type of movie.   Think about it saints of God, with all the hip hop in the church and gospel music, do you think anyone is concerned about any pastor going to see a Kevin Hart movie.  Well, obviously Marvin Sapp thinks he could be judge for doing so.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, to decompress and unwind after preparing his sermon, the preacher and multi-platinum-selling recording artist said, "I decided to come out and go to the movies by myself. Somebody wanna know what I'm going to see. I can't tell you, 'cause I don't want you to judge me."

This is so shocking to hear of any pastor or gospel artist mentioning what people may say about them going to see a movie.  In this era of most black church and multi-cultural ministries, there seems to be no boundaries.

A film crew were making an independent film in a coffee shop when two Glendora police officers demanded them to drop their fake guns. If you are wondering how something like this could happen, it's very clear, a woman was walking pass the scene thought was she saw was real and called police.   

According to ktla.com, all on-duty Glendora officers responded and surrounded the coffee shop. They encountered two men dressed in hoodies, gloves and bandana masks, and armed with what appeared to be a handgun and an AR-15 assault rifle.  

One solution that might have helped this group of amateurs making a film, is that they could have at least put up a sign in front of the coffee shop to inform curious onlookers about their project.   If they would have done so, then possibly the woman would not have immediately called 911.   We are sure if this was in Hollywood or a movie made by Hollywood producers, the streets probably would have been blocked off.  However, thank God no actors were harmed are mistaken as real robbers by police.
