Pastor Jorge Juan Castro is accused of sexually molesting more than 20 women at a Los Angeles church.  The associate pastor must have thought he had so much power, no one would say a word.  However, these women must have stood together and took courage to make sure police do their job to stop him.  Saints of God, God is very unhappy about too many ministers taking advantage of their congregants. 

According to CBSlocal.com, Castro, who works as an associate pastor and counselor at Las Buenas Nuevas Church in Norwalk, is accused of sexually assaulting more than 20 women, between the ages of 18 and 39, from Oct. 2004 to Sept. 2012, officials said.  

In the meantime, we pray Pastor Jorge Jaun Castro repents and some of you ministers whom maybe guilty of doing the same thing, please realize you can't hide your dirt forever.  God will reveal your hypocrisy, so stop and repent before you bring yourself to shame.

Of course, we know we can't interfere with the lifestyle of gay people, but we should have a right to preach against homosexuality.  The Word of God says it's wrong and if people don't want to hear it, they have the freedom to rebel.  However, it's very sad some preachers like Pope Francis think it's judging if the truth is being told, allegedly.

According to CNN.com, the pope's comments don't break with Catholic doctrine or policy, but instead show a shift in approach, moving from censure to engagement.

It's very scary to hear the pope or any other minister defend gays.  There once was a time when many ministers feared God and would publicly denounce all sin, including homosexuality.   We are living an a very evil time.   Saints of God, let us continue to fast and pray.

Pope Francis: Church can't 'interfere' with gays

By Eric Marrapodi and Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editors

The Bible clearly state, we are not to take our brother or sister in Christ to court.  The  I Corinthians 6 says: 'Suppose one of you wants to bring a charge against another believer. Should you take it to the ungodly to be judged? Why not take it to God’s people?'   Therefore, this includes pastors and Pastor Antonio Alfred should not be sitting in a court room after the board of deacons decided for him to remain their pastor.  If you read a bit further that scripture will give more details avoiding taking believers to court.

According to BlackChristianNews.com,  supporters of the pastor say they've already had a vote and he won.

Shame on the church members of St. John Missionary Baptist Church who insist on firing Pastor Antonio Alfred.  He is a man of God and if he should not be pastor, his board of deacons would have agreed to fire him.   Let us pray for Pastor Alfred, that God will strengthen him while some of his church members who are enemies try to take his appointed position.

When it comes to the Word of God, there is always opposition in this world.  Why?  Because so many millions of people are on their way to eternal hell.  Many souls are so lost, they resent anyone who wants to exercise freedom of religion.  In this case, Brian Johnson had to face his enemy in court over passing out Bibles at a gay parade.

According to ChristianPost.com, from 1998 to 2009, Kellum explained, Johnson gave Bibles away at a booth in the festival, and "never had any problems." But when the organizers decided to question his beliefs, they didn't like what they found. Pressured while applying for a booth, Johnson acknowledged that he considered the act of homosexuality a sin. He did not receive a booth in 2009.

Praise God, the court says Brian Johnson has the right to pass out free Bibles.  May God bless and keep him.

Our prayers are being answered saints of God,  Rev. Mark Harris who is a Republican will be running for U. S. Senate in North Carolina.  Now, we got a step further to go, we need others like Harris in running for the same seat in other states, so we can start ruling America.

He also announced his future campaign co-chairs, including former Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.), who's also a former party chair with deep ties to the state's donor community.

Again, there are some black churches disappointing God in this age of gay marriage.   It seems like whatever is wrong, there are some black Christians who make it alright.  In this case of the boy scouts, there are some yet affiliating with the organization, regardless of their homosexual policy. 

According to BlackChristianNews.com, the Boy Scouts' policy change has caused discussion at other local churches. Scout Master Victor Jordan, who heads Union Baptist Church's decade old Troop 898, said he discussed the issue with Union's pastoral leadership and all agreed to continue the scouting program. 

For certain, God is not pleased with some black churches affiliating with the Boy Scouts of America.   When are some African Americans going to make a wise decision and follow God's Word and not be followers of this world?

Pastor Terry Jones thinks he was set up by police.  If so, it does not surprise us, because these days our country allegedly has a president that supports Islamic beliefs.   It could be time for Terry Jones to just accept that police will not support his public ritual against something that is more popular in America, in the 21st century.

According to ChristianPost.com, Pastor Jones said in an interview following his arrest on Wednesday that prior to his planned Quran burning, he had met with three police officers, including two from Polk County and one from Manatee County, as well as an FBI special agent on Sept. 7. During the meeting, Jones claims to have told the officials of his plans to burn nearly 3,000 Qurans on the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

It does not surprise us, if Pastor Terry Jones was set up by police, conspiracy against Christians goes back to the biblical era.

This is an update saints of God.  Our brother in Christ, Minister Rob Hughes is going through a trial by demonic forces, allegedly.   Just for preaching the Word of God to bring sinners to repentance, he has been arrested and now jailed. 

According to ChristianNews.net, as he spoke, Hughes was approached by police, who advised that they had received a complaint that Hughes had engaged in hate speech by preaching against homosexuality. Police advised that such speech was a violation of the Public Order Act, Section 5, which bans “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior, or disorderly behavior” or the display of “any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting” within earshot of sight of a person “likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.”  

In the meantime, we will keep Minister Hughes in our prayers and also, we will pray that for the UK to yield to God's expectations and to fully abide by His commandments.

It's a terrible thing to acknowledge that arsonists probably burned down this California AME church, according to investigators.   You see, because there is a lot of diversity in California, they do not like to admit there is severe racism, but in certain parts, there is, just like any other state.  Therefore, it could have been a racist individual or more who did not want a black church in Bakersfield.  How many times have we heard a white supremacist allegedly burn down a church of a black denomination? 

According to BlackChristianNews.com, a Cain Memorial AME Church building at California Avenue and R Street was fully engulfed in flames when fire crew responded, officials said.   

In the meantime, we will pray for this congregation. However the truth must be known, if some black congregants would stop prejudice among each other, just maybe so many black churches would not burn down, ever so many years.  This is something many church people in the black church refrain from talking about, prejudice among themselves.  It's sort of like the entire community, many times there is sowing and reaping, because for so many years, there has been hatred and violence among those whom kill with their mouths, weapons and drugs.   Unfortunately, it's also occurred right in God's House, not necessarily saying this particular church, but over all.

Pastor Greg Laurie allegedly says the problem with America is in the church, not the White House.   Now, we may disagree with Pastor Laurie on a few previous issues, but this one, we must say he certainly is telling the truth. 


According to BlackChristianNews.com, he stated: "I believe that the United States of America is the greatest country on the face of the earth. America! America! God shed His grace on thee. So true," Laurie said, appearing in a video played during a segment of a live webcast originating at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., the main venue of the prayer rally.
  
If the church would get right with God and take over America like it says in His Word, we would not be having so many problems in this country.   When can we ever say Christians ruled in the White House in American history? If you can't answer that question, then you can also agree with Pastor Laurie.   It is our duty to take over our government in each and every country, this is why a lot of our rights are being taken away by many atheists and homosexuals.   So, Amen Pastor Laurie!
