Deion Sanders is accused of choking one of his staff members, but of course, he denies it.  Now, Deion Sanders, along with Tracy Edmonds has been allegedly respected by Bishop T. D. Jakes, even after his ugly custody battle, but this shows he may not be the born again Christian he's claims to be.   It doesn't look like Deion Sanders is going to be so fortunate, after not allegedly revealing himself in an upright fashion with his previous marital issues. 

According to TMZ.com, Cops in Dallas are investigating violent allegations made by Kevin Jefferson, the CFO of Prime Prep Academy ... a charter school Deion co-founded last year. If this is true, this doesn't look good for Sanders, since he denied he abused his ex-wife Pilar.

It's very important that we pray for more fully sanctified athletes, so they can reveal the light of Jesus Christ and win lost souls for him. In the meantime, we will keep Deion Sanders in our prayers.

A few pastors are very disappointed in the show, 'Preachers of LA', but let us be real with you.  Isn't there enough dirt that has not been addressed in the church?  What do these pastors who are complaining expect?   

We have a lot of preachers in the (black) church who are already showing off their fame and fortune and have mega churches full of people who idolize them as celebrities.  We have hip hop gospel and christian rock artists that are dominating the gospel music industry and it is okay with many pastors as they enjoy their luxury cars and million dollar homes.  Thirdly, we have a lot of dancers that are showing their flesh similar to Beyonce and Rihanna as though it's been made holy.   Last, but not least, we've got preachers like Bishop Noel Jones allegedly affirming homosexuals being involved in the church without rebuking the sin.  Oh we're not done yet, many high profile pastors wives are being quiet while women in the gospel music industry are spoiling their husbands with their performances while looking like harlots and they enjoy the money from the proceeds.  Oh yes, we've got young men looking like thugs selling drugs on the corner with their pants hanging down, singing christian rap like it's so holy.  What more harm can 'Preachers of LA' do to the image of the (black) church? Please.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, not too surprisingly, some local pastors have a few words to say on the matter such as William J. Smith of Saint Tabernacle Church in L.A.  Allegedly, Pastor Smith publicly denounced the show. 

God bless these preachers for their opposition to the show, 'Preachers of LA', but their wasting their time.

Joseph Scrambia shares his testimony of how he found Jesus Christ after experiencing a near death experience.   Scrambia was once a gay porn star, but now he's set free from sin. No matter what your sin is, you should take time to listen to Joseph's testimony, it will certainly help you.

According to ChristianPost.com, Sciambra, 44, says in his new book that he was first introduced to porn at the young age of eight, and quickly after this first experience he became addicted to more extreme forms of pornography, such as gay porn and masochistic behavior. The website for Swallowed by Satan says Sciambra hit rock bottom after delving "into the darkest recesses of the occult, Satanism, and eventually Neo-Nazi ritualism," eventually becoming a "sadomasachist master" and ultimately a "common street hustler."

If you have an addiction to porn or you are a porn star, it's never to late to be delivered and set free.   Jesus Christ loves you and He died that you may have a right to the tree of life, but you must choose to serve Him, He cannot force you.  As Joshua 24:15 says, choose ye this day whom ye will serve.

The former football celebrity for the Dallas Cowboy is facing a second charge.   Many of you recall when Josh Brent was involved in a car crash that took the life of his good friend, Jerry Brown.  Brent faced the media and even endured shame and regret while attending Brown's funeral.  However, he was forgiven by Jerry Brown's mother.  Now, his legal issues seem to never end, there is a second charge.

According to wfaa.com, the second indictment against Brent returned Wednesday adds a new count of manslaughter to the existing count of intoxication manslaughter.

The historic Crouch Memorial Church of God in Christ was almost 120-year-old when it went up in flames.  Allegedly, the pastor admits to turning on a gas heater and does not recall turning it off.   This is very sad, because it reminds us of the historic Pilgrim Bapist Church in Chicago where many gospel concerts were in the past. 

According to KTLA.com, the two-alarm fire was reported at 9:27 a.m. in the 1000 block of East 27th Street. About 150 firefighters responded.

We wish there were more bold pastors like Mark Driscoll who's just made a bold statement by driving to a church service in a hearse.   He makes the point about how weak Christianity is in America these days.  Pastor Mark Driscoll ask an important question, 'Will Christianity have a Funeral or a Future?'  Doesn't it seem like Christianity has died in this country to some degree?

According to ChristianPost.com, Pastor Driscoll's book A Call to Resurgence: Will Christianity Have a Funeral or a Future? is planned for release on Nov. 5 and focuses on the need for Christians to be aware of changing times and the importance of sharing the Gospel despite a corrupting culture. Resurgence 2013, a leadership conference, is scheduled to begin on the same date.

We look forward to reading Pastor Driscoll's new book and we know it will make an impact among our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Mark Driscoll Pulls Up to Church Service in Hearse to Ask, 'Will Christianity Have a Funeral or a Future?'

By Alex Murashko , Christian Post Reporter

As some of you already know, this country has been under satanic attack for a very longtime, now.   Previously, we've heard of many stories about how the ACLU wanted to stop Christians from publicly praying in public, even in their homes, allegedly.  This time, the organization has issued a warning that there should be no prayer at football games in Tennessee. 

According to ChristianPost.com, the letter also names previous Supreme Court cases that have forbade public prayer from being held in school or at school-led functions, such as football games, including the 1992 ruling in Lee v. Weisman and the 2000 ruling in Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe.  

In the meantime, we will be praying for God to intervene so prayer will be able to continue at football games, all across America.

It's one thing to yearn to bring sinners to Jesus Christ through the reality show, 'Preachers of LA', but it's another thing to want to allegedly cater to homosexuals in the church.  Now, Bishop Noel Jones allegedly makes the excuse of wanting to allow homosexuals to serve in the church in general on his older brother who allegedly is gay, possibly and partially because of their father's neglect.  Isn't it so true, you can't bring sinners to Christ unless you disagree with their sin?  What are sinners getting saved from, when you pamper them and not preach against their sin?
 
Bishop Noel Jones says we should embrace people from all different walks of life on the 2nd video, but one of the things we notices, he does not make it clear not to embrace the sin.   Why is that?  In our opinion, Bishop Noel Jones response seems really twisted.   

Another question, would you classify Bishop Noel Jones as a gay affirming minister?

One of Bishop Kirkland's duties as Chief Pastor of the 5th District of the A.M.E.

There is something very strange not just in the state of Mississippi, but all over America.  Why are there some people who are trying to erase racism in the 21st century?  If it hasn't gone away in over 40 years after Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination, it maybe a demonic spirit that is here to stay unless this entire country fully surrenders to Jesus Christ. 

 These two pastors think they are doing a remarkable thing, when it fact racism should have been gone a longtime ago.   This ancient demon still has many people focused on the same issue, although we have a lot of diversity with interracial marriage in most parts of the country. However, we sincerely feel God wants the human race to focus on Him and completely surrender to Him, which is the only way racism will cease, because after all these years it's still a very stubborn demon. Furthermore, people full of hatred have to want to be delivered and set free.  One race can never make another race accept them and in the 21st century, American people should have acknowledged that fact by now.
