Pastor sentenced for theft of hurricane relief funds

Well does anything more need to be said? He’s a crook, they got him and he’s going to prison. Lord willing he’ll repent. Better that he’s humbled now and possibly repent, than live a lie and possibly die never having repented.
Just an interesting video.
I say, the documented performance reviews don’t lie! But sometimes company spokespeople do.

Sometimes efforts to perform routine maintenance go awry. And sometimes backups don’t have all that they’re supposed to have in them
. But no matter, thank God through Jesus Christ I’m saved by grace. And to boot the blog is working again. I was able to get all the posts back after some DB maintenance really messed things up. But it seems some of them have an odd character where quotes used to be. And I was able to get most comments back, up till 9/17/2008. Unfortunately my more recent backup failed to include some more recent comments. It’s all a long story, but bottom line is all posts are back and most comments too. I’m still working on getting the comments after 9/17/2008 till now back. Till I’m done getting those comments back, probably NOT a good idea to make any new comments
. I’ll update this post when you can make comments again. But any new comments made at the moment might be permanently lost when I get the others restored. For now, enjoy reading
.
update 9/24/2008 11:45PM: Finally got all the comments back and also was able to get rid of those odd looking characters that were showing up. Here’s a note for you who backup your own Wordpress database to a .sql file. Before restoring, open the file in Notepad and save it with ANSI encoding. That’s how I got rid of the odd characters and was much easier than other options. And regarding your backups, make sure you’re using Wordpress recommended backup options. (MySQL DB restore tools [in phpMyAdmin] use UTF8 and that’s the option to select in the restore file character type, but somehow if the file is not saved as ANSI encoded, the odd characters show up, because the DB or the DB backup process or Wordpress does something odd with the encoding of text.)
So all is back to as it was yesterday, praise the Lord.
OK, he’s admitted it, he’s homosexual. Which leaves us with one of those where do we go from here type of pauses. Because he’s claimed so many times that he’s a Christian.
Well before I even bother with the homosexual aspects, I didn’t even know this guy had a baby. And I certainly didn’t know he conceived the baby through artificial insemination of a woman almost twice his age. I think it’s sad he’s gone to have a child when he knows he didn’t even care to marry. The mother is someone he knows, that he’s never indented to marry, he’s homosexual. He’s fathered a baby out of wedlock and never was even thinking of making the baby a household as instructed in the Bible he claims to take instruction from.
And what of the other babies you’ve made Clay Aiken? Typically artificial insemination involves making more babies (some who like to deny them humanity call them embryos) than are actually implanted into the mother. So what of the other babies? Will he just leave them in a freezer? Is he planning to let them become human guinea pigs for “embryonic stem cell research”? Has he made any plans for their adoption? There are real Christians, who are willing to adopt these children some would rather use as test rats. Will Clay Aiken give his other children the opportunity to grow up?
So he’s homosexual and he’s claimed to be Christian. Back to that where do we go from here pause I was talking about. Given he’s claiming homosexuality, is he going to try and continue to claim Christianity also? Is he saying that he’s struggling with same sex attraction and seeking to turn from what he knows to be evil? Well we know unfortunately that’s probably not the case. He sadly appears to be trying to claim he’s gay and it’s OK. I just hope I’m wrong about that and he does come out to claim he’s struggling against sin and would rather turn to living righteously.

One has to now ask if Clay Aiken really heard Him as he claims to have? But sadly it appears the false “gay christian” crowd will have yet another spokesperson. Which would mean he did not hear the Lord. Imagine if Soulforce gets hold of Aiken and takes him to see homosexual friendly TD Jakes? It would be very interesting to see who would turn away Aiken if the reprobates take Aiken touring with them.
Either Clay Aiken is not a Christian, or he better start talking about how he hates being homosexual and is seeking to turn from that evil feeling he has for members of the same sex. Because if he claims the Lord approves of what he’s doing, he has not heard from Christ in truth.
I think it says something, when a pastor is known as a great metrosexual, but when it comes to his sermons they are devoid of Christ and only expose his hypocrisy. Once upon a time, when I was drinking the poison of delusion, I used to think mess like pastors being known for “fashion” was something cool, but now I find it to be rather disgusting. Like a dog going for it’s own vomit, as God had Peter write, 2 Peter 2:22 [click to expand link].
While real men of the gospel were not concerned about looking pretty during a sermon, 1 Corinthians 4:10-13 and the Lord Jesus told them not to worry over apparel, Matthew 6:31-34. The Pulpit Pimps take the opposite route and what would one expect from someone who preaches another gospel? While Jamal Bryant is the subject of this post, this is a matter common with pulpit pimps. They’re so concerned about LOOKS, that the only thing many appreciate them for is LOOKS. (Or looks and tickling their ears with false teaching.) How many of the Apostles of the Lord Jesus made the style pages of publications of their day? But the pulpit pimps of today seem to be regular figures.
Look at this from the style section of the Knoxville News Sentinel newspaper, out of Knoxville, Tennessee. The article is a profile of a man the paper finds to be a sharp dresser, a guy named Ashanti Bailey.
Personal style: Passion for fashion at tender age still ingrained (emphasis added)

Now I’ll say, when I was taken in by delusion, what I’m saying now about Bryant and other pimps made absolutely no sense to me. And I’m sure their followers can’t make sense of this post, if any of them happen to read it. But just the same, the following scripture is for those who follow men like Bryant, Eddie Long, TD Jakes and other fashion show plates. Lord willing, something will register as to why what those men are doing is wrong.

Some who disagree with the things I say would like to claim I am being a “Pharisee”, but the truth is, some of you don’t really understand what a Pharisee is.
