Video: Detroit’s Pastor Marvin Winans to Give Eulogy at Whitney Houston’s Funeral
February 15th, 2012 
AT2W Staff 
What better person to give the eulogy at the funeral of Whitney Houston? Pastor Marvin Winans knows the Houston family very well and even recalls Whitney calling him upon stage at her previous concert, there in Detroit. There is one thing about Whitney Houston, she loved the Lord. Regardless of her personal emotional hardships in life, she never forgot God and always reminded her fans how much she loved him. Pastor Marvin Winans obviously knows how close Whitney was to God and this is why he has been chosen to give the eulogy at his friend’s funeral.

UAB Gospel Choir Pays Tribute To Don Cornelius and Soul Train [VIDEO]
The video you are about to see is why the church can get messed up and entangled in the flesh. Why would a choir sing a secular song, dance and twist with choir robes on? Why must they imitate the world yet want to bring souls into the kingdom? What an absolute mess!
The UAB Gospel Choir pays tribute to the late great Don Cornelius & Soul Train, who featured cross-over artists that performed soul and gospel choir.

Former Gospel Singer Shei Atkins Has New Music Out That Clearly Shows She’s R&B Now
Back in August of last year, we reported that Shei Atkins, former gospel artists announced her decision to leave gospel music and pursue R&B music instead. Her decision was made mostly in part by the flack she was receiving from the Christian community that thought her music was not ‘holy’ enough. We were surprised to hear that the church even complained about it since hip hop and new age gospel trends are so accepted today.

February 1st, 2012 AT2W Staff 
We are sadden that another black celebrity has one into judgement, this time because of an alleged suicide. Don Cornelius is respected among many rich and famous African American celebrities and has even included awards at the annual Soul Train Music Awards event for gospel music artists. Many alleged gospel artists have performed at the ceremony: Mary Mary, Bebe and CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Dorinda Clark Cole, (First Lady) Karen Clark and KiKi Sheard, Donnie McClurkin and many others. We want you to know each and every last gospel artists is assigned to ministry and should not have mingled with the secular music industry to be like them as celebrities. Now that Don Cornelius is gone, we wonder if any of them think about how they could have witnessed to him about salvation? There should be some sort of remorse for performing on the Soul Train Music Awards and competing to win, instead of only aiming to win Don Cornelius to surrender his soul to Jesus Christ. If they have, praise God for it, but we doubt it.
