Facebook Video: Kicked Out Of Ministry

Kicked Out Of Ministry For Speaking Up?

The young lady in this video (Diamond) posted the aforementioned Facebook video because she was ousted from serving in ministry at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple. The reason she was outed was because she stood up for what she felt was right. That's sad that you can't speak your mind without being kicked out of ministry. True, you're supposed to honor those in authority, but if you see something that's out of order, bring it to the leader's attention and let them deal with it. If they don't, that's on them. At least you did your part by bringing the grievance to the leader's attention. I don't see anything wrong with what she did. This video doesn't surprise me at all, because a lot of black churches are petty like that. People get a little power and let it go to their heads. What's more disturbing is Dana's tone had pettiness & jealousy all over it, and had the nerve to say "I pray God's best for you, I love you, but your attendance is not required." Honestly, Diamond has nothing to be ashamed of because she stood up for what she felt was right. The blessing in this is that she's free to do what God has called her to do. The downside about this video is that it confirms what many nonbelievers already believe about church: That it's messy and full of petty so-called Christians. It wouldn't surprise me if the lady on the voicemail (name withheld) got Diamond outed from the armorbearer's ministry because she was jealous for whatever reason. Some blacks are petty like that.
