Tonex.homosexuality.over.load

Warning. Warning. Warning.
The secular media has been anointed to sanctify Tonex and his homosexual mess[age] in the eyes of the people. God wouldnt do it and church folks are still in traction about it, so the New Yorker decided to write a book reality show script about Anthony Williams, Jr. and his misfortunes with homosexuality, the church and his music. The church has its saints and I guess the world has to have theirs too. Even if they have to personally canonize them.
For short review/preview —depending on your familiarity— on …

The preacher’s [gay marriage supporting] kid

Edit: This post has been amended due to information that Luckett is a member of Joel Osteen’s church.
A new Christian film star on the horizon? You may want to take a closer look first.
Its truly a tragic thing when we have to alert people in the church about other “church-types” who are working against God’s will to infect the church with their insanity. Enter Matt Crouch, stage left.
The Preacher’s Kid, is the latest religious movie backed by Matt Crouch and his Gener8Xion Entertainment company.
The star of Crouch’s new movie is …

Lesbian mag features ex-lesbian Janet Boynes

Bound, a magazine catering to a lesbian lifestyle readership, featured former lesbian Janet Boynes of Minneapolis telling her story of getting out of her former lifestyle of sin.
“God hates me. Well, that’s what I’ve heard. I’ve heard He hates me because I’m a lesbian and according to the Bible, lady loving is a sin. It’s unnatural, like pastel-colored hair or imitation meat. I was once shown a clever little anagram by a straight Christian woman I accidentally hit on (strangely enough, she loked like a total dyke): GAY=God Abhors You. …

800 attend bible and homosexuality discussion in Kalamazoo

This past September, people of varied perspectives gathered in this southwest Michigan town to discuss the bible and homosexuality. Most might assume instant fireworks and mass confusion, but accounts tell a different story.  While the divisions remained  fairly intact, it is a good thing that this discussion got out of the closet in this forum. The forum was led by six area pastors who argued for both sides of the issue (source: Kalamazoo News).
A young lesbian couple listened to the scriptural discourse seated beside an older married pair who shared …

In Vallejo, CA ’spiritual warfare’ comes to the forefront

The Christian community in Vallejo, California, situated just north of San Francisco on San Pablo Bay, is learning from experience what spiritual warfare looks like when worldviews clash.
The flare up  began in late November when the liberal NY Times published an interview by  gay reporter Kemble Scott (aka Scott James) with the city’s  African American Mayor Osby Davis.  Asked about homosexuality, Davis, a member of the Assemblies of God,  paraphrased a passage from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and in the process predictably  angered some of Vallejo’s homosexual community. Davis was already …

Police, security show up at SNAP press conference

 
Yesterday, the Tennessee Chapter of SNAP (Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests) held a peaceful press conference in front of COGIC’s world headquarters in Memphis. The press conference was called in the wake of a controversial rape case involving a COGIC music minister and a 16 year girl at Greater St. Mark COGIC pastored by Ronald Rolfe.
But the few people that showed up were met with an overwhelming show of force at the bequest of COGIC officials.
David Brown, the chapter’s president and chief spokesman told me that four police …

Commercial Appeal: COGIC minister arrested for rape of 16 year girl *updated*

This story has been updated with additional news. Scroll to the bottom.
Reporting these types of stories brings no joy, but must be done because the COGIC leadership has not gotten the message that sexual abuse and immorality among its clergy is rampant and the foot dragging must stop. When asked about the website we set up to monitor and advocate for victims, Bishop Blake told a Memphis reporter, “Brother Foster has a flavor of the year he usually focuses on. His flavor this year is sexual harassment and sexual …

Lutherans splinter again over homosexuality

This is good and GCM Watch applauds Lutheran CORE (Coalition for Renewal) for making this decision. Not an easy one, but a necessary one. The apostate wing of the church in America seeks to dominate and control by forcing others to accept abomination.
Some churches are learning there is no such thing as tolerance and equality with these people.  The only thing wise to do is to separate yourself and leave them to wallow in their immoral vomit.
Via the Washington Times, we learn that a second Lutheran body has come to …

Was Jesus tempted by homosexuality?

That’s the question posed (and presumably answered) by Christian teacher John Piper. The following from the Christian Post was said to be “an edited transcript of the audio.” There ’s no link to an audio so I guess its safe to assume Piper is speaking here.
Since Jesus “in every respect has been tempted as we are,” does that mean he was tempted with homosexuality?
You know, this statement-”tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sin”-is troubling, because there are a lot of things you could think of …

COGIC PB downplays sexual abuse cases

Bishop Charles Blake on yesterday responded to questions from a Memphis reporter about sexual abuse in COGIC and ReportCOGICAbuse.com.  As usual, church officials continue to obstinately deny the obvious.
The Presiding Bishop told the Commercial Appeal the “attention” given the site was out of proportion. He called the 30 odd cases cited on the website “allegations” which didn’t reflect on the “hundreds of thousands” of COGIC clergy.
Bishop Blake erroneously called the information on ReportCOGICAbuse.com “allegations”. The overwhelming majority of the clergy sexual abuse cases cited on website are not …
