T.D. Jakes’ Potter’s House Celebrate Graduation of Over 100 Former Convicts [VIDEO]
There were 109 North Texans convicted of crimes who are back out in society as graduates of a year-long life skills program. Bishop T.D. Jakes and dozens of volunteers helped transform these individuals through The Texas Offenders Re-entry Initiative.

This is the kind of news we need to be celebrating instead of all of the celebrity preaching stuff!

Are Pastors Allowing Godly Manhood To Be Attacked in the Church?

Are Pastors Allowing Godly Manhood To Be Attacked in the Church?

We have thought about this for some time now. When you think about how many of our churches, African American churches have allowed the enemy of homosexuality into the house of God, you have to wonder who is in charge. Well, it is very clear that many churches have issues like all churches do, but does the pastor have full control over what goes on in the church? We can’t blame the pastor for everything that goes on in the church but when the minister of music is able to flaunt his effeminate self in front of the church, there is an issue.  When the choir is able to ‘move and groove’ while singing songs of Zion, there is an issue?  When the choir is singing songs that are less godly and more worldly in the church, there is an issue.

How Do Christians Deal with Abstinence and Possible Sex Outside of Marriage?

This is a bigger issue than many think. We commend those who make the conscious decision to abstain from sex before marriage but in reality it is a challenge. We can say that it can be done with prayer, fasting and a commitment to God.
Take a look at what Ebony Magazine and their report on the issue:
Many Christian youths who signed abstinence pledges or wore purity rings reach a crossroad as young adults. They are faced with upholding Biblical principles against sex outside of marriage during an era when the average age of first marriage creeps toward 30. Celibacy may be even tougher for singles who have splashed around in the pool of fornication long before dedicating their lives to Christ. More are asking, “Am I really condemning my soul to eternal damnation by getting my freak on Saturday night and praising the Lord on Sunday morning?” As many as 80 percent of young unmarried Christians have had sex, according to Relevant, a magazine for Christians aged 18 to 30.
Even as they uphold abstinence as ideal, religious leaders can no longer ignore the elephant in the sanctuary. From a newsletter published by pastor Creflo Dollar: “There was a time when … marriage was honored and respected … and sexual relationships outside of marriage were certainly not accepted as the norm. However, times have changed … values have moved away from the standard of God’s Word because of selfishness.” Last year’s Jumping the Broom, produced by Bishop T.D. Jakes, opened with Paula Patton’s character regretting her decision to have casual sex the night before. The romcom portrays her finding true love and deciding with her fiancé to abstain until their wedding day. It was Jakes’ decision to include the morning-after scene, Patton told The Christian Post. “We make mistakes, but the goal is to become better [people].”

Five Yr Old Isaiah Jackson Preaches Prosperity at TD Jakes’ Potter’s House

This five year old prayer warrior named little Isaiah Jackson was handed the microphone at TD Jakes’ Potter’s House this past week. He has wowed every one that has heard the prayer. Though some thought it annoying to hear a five year old kid yell out prayers beginning with “I decree and declare”, its pretty evident, this young man will be used greatly by the Lord. I don’t think we’ve seen a child allow God to move in him like this young preacher did in the video below.

Today’s Gay Affirming Pastors and Bishops Who Once Opposed Homosexuality Expect More Tithes and Offerings

This is how we know a lot of these ministers in the ministry for money, there have been many coming out of the closet changing their viewpoint in favor of homosexuality, since President Obama is in favor and revealing his opinion by changing the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy and then, making promises to the homosexual community that he will approve same-sex marriage, nationwide.   According to Wikipedia, there are well-known pastors within the black community who are a part of Obama’s Faith-based initiative: Bishop Charles E. Blake, head of the Church of God in Christ and twenty-four other names you may recognize, here.  Some ministers who have turned their ministries into gay-affirming churches are not even a part of Obama’s Faith-based initiative, they just desire to teach what is popular, so they will continue to receive much tithes and offerings.  We are not necessarily saying that Blake agrees with homosexuality;however, if he does not believe it is okay to be a homosexual, then why is he a part of this President’s board for the Faith-initiative?

Guaranteed Perdiction: Pulpit Pimps of Mega Ministries Will Fade Out

In this era, we not only face a recession, but we are witnessing massive changes among Pulpit Pimps and all of those expensive gifts like buying each other a Bentley they will no longer be able to afford.   It is the mega ministries who have been able to hold onto their church buildings because they are millionaires, but other ministers who were not so rich lost their churches in this recession.  However, these pulpit pimps of mega ministries are losing their followers because of their own sins and scandals are leaking out, nationwide and souls who are tired of their secret double lifestyles are not going to continue to give money because of it.   Many followers of these pulpit pimps are suffering too much in this recession and they do not have time for games.   The millions these multi-million dollar ministries are used to receiving will come to a halt, because their followers are in need a real message to assist them in their personal crisis.  These pulpit pimps have not been able to help people, not just because their churches are too big, but they have their own problems and scandalous secrets have become news all over the world.  Because these pulpit pimps wanted to be celebrities and live like them, they are paying for it and people who have listened to them are turning away and are no longer willing to give them that honor as celebrities, but they are no more than pulpit pimps who are still trying to demand money from people who do not possess it while America is in a financial crisis and lacking employment.
