Gospel’s Anointed Pace Sisters to Appear on ‘”Iyanla’s Fix My Life” [VIDEO]
Wow! It never, ever, ever surprises us that more and more gospel artists are abandoning they soulful and gospel trends for the secular sounds of the world. We were never fans of The Anointed Pace Sisters but we had a feeling they would do more in the future and here is the future before our eyes. While they are now looking to get ‘big’ with Teddy Riley, we wonder how their fans will feel?

Family Radio Owned by Failed Doomsday Predictor Harold Camping To Close Down

Family Radio Owned by Failed Doomsday Predictor Harold Camping To Close Down
This is the best thing to happen. Even though we were happy that Camping ultimately admitted he was wrong for predicting the end of the world, so much damage was done. Over the years, Harold Camping has predicted the end of the world on several occasions and of course he was incorrect. He was incorrect, not because as a mathematician he could not calculate it, but due to the fact HE IS NOT GOD. It has always been a shock to us that the bible clearly says ‘no man shall know the day nor the hour’. For a man who prided himself on knowing the bible, he tried using his scholarly education over biblical education that rules over all.
We are glad that the radio show is coming to an end. His ministry has lead many blinding souls down the wrong path of worshiping him and not Jesus himself. People gave up everything and their life savings because they truly believed in Harold Camping’s prediction of the end of times. Some even committed suicide when it did not happen. How tragic is that? We would not want that over our heads.
Read the details below on the report:
The Contra Costa Times reports (http://bit.ly/17hPOrP) Oakland-based Family Radio has sold its three largest radio stations and laid off longtime staff members. Tax records show Harold Camping’s non-profit network saw its net assets drop to $29.2 million by the end of 2011, from a net worth of $135 million four years earlier.
Former and current insiders tell the newspaper donations have dropped almost 70 percent since Camping’s Rapture prediction proved incorrect last year.
Camping convinced thousands of followers that the world would end, only to later post an online letter conceding he had no evidence of an impending apocalypse and will no longer predict global doom.

AT2W’s Inspirational Moment: UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL [Part 2]
Continued from Part 1 of AT2W’s Inspirational Moment: UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL By Tamara N. Green, Part 1
Those very keys were the gateway into the city, other cities, the nations and into other Jewish and non-Jewish communities that would not have otherwise heard of much less received the glorious gospel message of repentance and salvation. Jew and Gentile were impacted because of Peter’s ministry and yes, his boldness. It was Peter on the Day of Pentecost, (Acts 2) who preached and devout men from other nations heard the gospel being spoken in their own native tongue (language). It was Peter who was given a vision about Gentiles considered being “clean” (salvation was extended to them) though Paul the Apostle would be the Apostle whose ministry would directly affect and change the livelihood of Gentile (Non-Jewish) believers.
UMC Ministers File Complaint Against Another for Officiating Own Son’s Gay Wedding

UMC Ministers File Complaint Against Another for Officiating Own Son’s Gay Wedding
We are surprised that the United Methodist Church would really complain about this. They are open to gay ministers in the denomination but they are known for being a stickler when it comes to specifics surrounding the issue. This is very weird. Read the report below:
On Oct. 20, the Rev. Thomas Ogletree, retired dean of Yale Divinity School and an ordained United Methodist, officiated a wedding between his son and a male partner. The wedding announcement prompted several United Methodist ministers to file a complaint against Ogletree with the local bishop.
“The arguments offered by Dr. Ogletree are rather intellectually shallow and reflect a very sophomoric approach to Scripture,” says John Lomperis, director of the Institute on Religion and Democracy’s United Methodist Action. “The letter and spirit of the Old and New Testaments–as well as the writings of Methodism’s founder, John Wesley–could hardly be clearer about homosexual practice.”
This could not be true. The UMC church is becoming very open to ordaining gay ministers and we don’t understand why they have an issue with this. We reported a story a few years ago where one lesbian woman was a minister of UMC but the church challenged her position because she had a long time partner and according to them, she should not have been practicing homosexuality or living as a gay couple before she became a minister.
The United Methodist Church prohibits same-sex unions. A New York Times article brought the controversy into the national spotlight. Lomperis hopes that Bishop Martin D. McLee and the rest of the New York Conference stand by the clear principles in the United Methodist Book of Discipline, which unequivocally defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
Well, if this is true, then why do they allow gay ministers? This is no different than the boy scouts. They didn’t mind gay scoutmasters to molest young boys but now they are working on allowing gay members but still looking to have stipulations on it. What?!
“United Methodist disagreements over homosexuality and other forms of extra-marital sex,” Lomperis explains, “are driven by far more fundamental divisions between United Methodists who accept a high view of biblical authority, are loyal to United Methodist doctrine, seek to submit all areas of our lives to the lordship of Jesus Christ and play by the rules that are supposed to apply to everybody; and other, nominal United Methodists who openly reject our core doctrine, allow the winds of secular American culture to trump Scripture, and zealously embrace an ‘any means necessary’ ethos.”
This is absolutely ludicrous. Which one will it be? Will they be against homosexuality or not?

Sunday Best Winner Le’Andria Johnson Is Now a Pastor? [VIDEO]
We know that many people are huge fans of Le’Andria Johnson. We will admit that we liked her too before she sold out to Matthew Knowles Music World Gospel and was singing love songs with the intent to present herself as a gospel singer.
Gospel Artists who add minister to their resume is a trend that has been going on for some time now. There are many gospel singers who are have become ministers of the gospel as well. Here are a few names you might recognize:
