Bishop Eddie Long, the senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church passed away on 15th January 2017 after a private battle with cancer at the age of 63.
Eddie Long a much-respected Pastor who clearly had an anointing on his life, was plagued with rumours and lawsuits over the past years. After a season out of the public eye, Eddie re-emerged looking clearly slimmer and somewhat frail than his usual stature. He has now gone to be with the KIng.
He is survived by his wife Vanessa and their children.
This is not a topic that I cover on this blog for several reasons. Mainly because it can become a distraction from many things. If ever someone wishes to delve deeper I may let them do so on this blog.
So as you will know by now the Pastor and legendary gospel great singer Kim Burrell made the headlines like never before in the secular world. Whilst pastoring at her church a pew sitter decided to live stream a few minutes of the sermon where she discusses sexual sin and spirits of deception operating in the church. She does give very descriptive details of what she means. Kim has since posted two videos of her own where she clarifies that she does not hate nor condemn anyone to hell as she knows she cannot do so. She is not God.
Below, here is a video of Quannel X a Muslim and Matt Patrick a Christian discussing Kim Burrell. Quannell is basically saying Christians have allowed the world to get too comfortable attacking them for their beliefs yet Muslims stand at the ready to defend their faith and the world knows this.
There is clearly more going on than the headlines. It's spiritual and requires prayer and strong leadership.
If you were Kim how would you have presented the message at hand?
Should the person who filmed the sermon snippet be required to answer to the church? Was their intention good or bad and are they happy with the end result?
