May the Lord grant them grace to repent and come into the saving knowledge through Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>The shame is truly on the "church" and those that "profess" to be saints but live like the world and mimick all it's ungodly styles and wicked ways (with a "Jesus" title slapped on it) <BR/><BR/>G-Craigs Videos were real eye-openers for me as the Holy Spirit just confirmed all that I left behind in the world and NOT to entangle with that yoke of bondage again!<BR/><BR/>The last time I was in church (TPH) the "youth" got up and "performed" their "dance minstry" (whatever that really means) and it was like I was back in the club...I got up and politely went to the ladies room and stayed there until the "entertainment" (because it certainly wasn't anything "Spiritual" about it that ministerd to me) was over.<BR/><BR/>All comments posted are so on point along with this Post.<BR/>We are truly in the day when "evil" is being called "good" and "good" being called "evil."<BR/><BR/>Come quickly Lord Jesus and let Your Glory return to Your house, because we are truly in an Ichabod state!<BR/><BR/>Bless you Pastor Burnett and the Saints that are standing for Truth in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation!<BR/><BR/>GodlysoldierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-67298836091088836202009-01-11T18:28:00.000-06:002009-01-11T18:28:00.000-06:00Praise the LORD!Pastor Burnett,Well stated article...Praise the LORD!<BR/><BR/>Pastor Burnett,<BR/>Well stated article.<BR/><BR/>On regards to Beyonce, is she caught up in Gnosticism, thinking she can do what she wants physically but be "saved" spiritually? <BR/><BR/>I agree with you Sister jjbrock. What Beyonce is doing when calling on demonic forces is channeling.<BR/>Sasha Fierce, the other personality...split personnality is a better term...is a demon(s) that Beyonce is channeling...that is an EVIL, DARK big time secret thing done by big time entertainers....you name the list, Denzel Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Samuel Jackson, Will and Jada Smith and countless others.....are into channeling!<BR/><BR/>Another thing about these entertainers is that they have "handlers"...almost like hypnotist, spirit guides, drug dealers that "control" these people. The 2 greatest examples of people being controlled are Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith, the stuff the latter did was unnatural. She was possessed and the guy that was trying to claim the daughter was her handler.<BR/>What makes Beyonce case so sad, if I am not mistaken, her father was a deacon in his church? I vividly remember Beyonce and her group, Destiny's Child giving $500,000 to their childhood church home. How many pastors/churches/trustees would TURN DOWN that money? How many would justify taking filthy lucre? Something to think about.<BR/><BR/>This entertainment stuff, Hollywood, Hip-Hop, and all of its ilk is profane and I close with this thought. Why would any God-fearing pastor or church want to bring this profane filth and mess up the souls of their people is beyond me. This is what a majority are doing to their sheep.<BR/>Ezekiel dealt with this in his day.<BR/>Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. <BR/><BR/>God bless you Pastor Burnett and others for standing up, crying aloud, and sparing not!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-78496456559272554742009-01-11T15:33:00.000-06:002009-01-11T15:33:00.000-06:00Pastor Burnett great article.

I had to really focus on this comment before posting I don't want to give the wrong impression.<BR/><BR/>With that been said, I’m hoping Beyonce/Sasha Fierce moment in the spotlight is only “fifteen minutes” indeed. Not for reasons that would amount to hate, or because I disagree that Beyonce/Sasha Fierce has the talent and potential for longevity in the music industry.<BR/><BR/>What I am saying is that I realize the longer she is at her current point of multi-media stardom. God will be misrepresented. Young girls that look up to Beyonce will think it’s acceptable to be in church worshipping teary eyed on Sunday then, frolicking, bootyliciously for a video shoot in some daisy dukes the next day!<BR/><BR/> She is also teaching them to call upon demonic forces when they need help instead of calling upon the Holy Spirit who is our true Helper.<BR/><BR/> We can’t allow (with our silence) cultural icons like Beyonce,Jay-Z,Fifty Cents, Lil Wayne and others to reshape God in their own image, live any kind of way, justify it and then talk about how much they love church.<BR/><BR/> Their double talk is dangerous, deceptive to ignorant observers, even if unintentionally so. The church is a body of believers in fellowship, who speak the truth in love, not a building where we go to cry and hide from instruction but rather where we go to heed the correction spoken of in 1 Corinthians 11:31.“…But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.”<BR/><BR/> Beyonce/Sasha Fierce, Jay-Z,Fifty Cents, Lil Wayne and others, we love you and we will continue to pray for you.

When I went to the altar for salvation, not the doors of the church are open etc, no one played nor sang my favorite "jam." No one performed or sang a R. Kelly son. No one played Tupac, Biggie, Confused Combs etc. It was the WORD and the CONVICTION of the Holy Spirit, ALONE. Guess what? Due to this, I was saved FOR REAL. WHY? No one tried to give me that which the LORD was wanting to deliver me of- the world. <BR/><BR/>Why do we as the Body of Christ believe that we can draw them by that which they are struggling with and against, but teach them how to be saved for real? Go figure. Oh, how the church forget about the Holy Scriptures. Be ye Holy, for I AM HOLY." <BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough so many so-called Christians are still hooked on secular music. I'm talking about people who have been saved for at least 5 years or more. Come on, it doesn't take GOD forever to do anything. Why are people so against giving up their old habits, old mind-sets? They enjoy that part of their flesh and its desire. Think about it. Every person that say that they are saved and/or a rapper (I refuse to put Holy or Christian, because there's no such thing), listen to their conversations clearly, as they will tell you that they "love" rap music and when they got "saved" they told GOD that they didn't want to leave this behind. <BR/><BR/>Ironically enough, our (Christians) unwillingness to let go of world, is the very thing that is drawing so many people particularly black men to the Nation of Islam. Why? There are no gray areas within the Nation, however, all you see is gray within the Body of Christ not because GOD ordained it, because Leaders (not all, but too many) refuse to teach the Black & White of the Gospel- Heaven or Hell, Holiness etc. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, Satan is clever, as he was the minister of music prior to being kicked out of heaven. Now, he's using that same method (music) to divide and confuse the body. Why do you think rap is in the church? Look at many of our minister of music. They are either gay, whoremongers, struggle with perversion the list goes on and on. Forgive the broad brush, but too often this is the case. Music has an influence that will ensnare the listener, if he/she is not careful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
