Spreading The Gospel

Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar is getting lit up on social media, so much that he took down his Facebook page asking supporters and his parishioners to give him $300 so he can buy a new jet to continue spreading the gospel worldwide. The cost of this jet is $65,000,000. Personally, I knew this was adding fuel to the fire; it gave unsaved folks more of a reason to go in on Christianity. Even some  Christians are going in on Creflo Dollar. Some folks irk me thinking you can spread the gospel for free. It costs to spread God's word, any minister will tell you that. This isn't Biblical times where Jesus spread the Good News on a donkey, so why do some folks feel that ministers shouldn't ask for money from their regular members? It's crazy to me because you're being fed on Sunday and Wednesday (plus reading God's word on your own, which is what Christians should be doing), so the least some members could do is financially support the Man Of God who's speaking into their lives.
I expect backlash from unsaved folks because many of them don't know any better. They're looking for any reason to criticize Christianity, so they don't count. Let those same folks get in a bind, and the first thing they want to do is run to the church for help; yet they have so much to say about ministers asking for financial help from the congregation that they minister to on a weekly basis. I have so much respect for ministers who labor on God's behalf. Ministry is a thankless job, and it takes a selfless person to give of themselves in that manner. I remember when Creflo Dollar first started World Changers Ministries, he paid his & the church expenses out of pocket. He had to because he was getting his ministry off the ground. God multiplied Creflo's ministry to where it's one of the most popular ministries in Atlanta, and worldwide. If anyone thinks the Gospel can be spread for free, they're crazy because in today's technology age, spreading the gospel costs money, and rightfully so. This isn't Biblical times where Jesus rode a donkey and spread his gospel for free.

No Quality Men Left?

This is a message from Lotus (real name withheld for confidentiality reasons) of How To Be A Woman:

How to Be a Woman
March 9 at 3:50pm · 
Ladies,
There are many women that believe that there are no quality men left. That idea is a fallacy by the way. But, to those women I say, if you want to see more quality men, raise some. Let's be clear, it's our belief that a woman can't raise a boy to be a man. We must foster environments that are conducive to healthy co-parenting relationships. In the absence of the child's father, it is your duty and obligation to expose your boys to positive male role models. Do single mothers raise boys that turn into quality men? Sure. But, in the absence of the boy's father, somewhere along his journey to adulthood to becoming a quality man, he got to see another MAN being there and raising his children. He got to see another MAN going to work everyday providing for his family. He got to see another MAN treating his wife like a Queen because she did the same for him. He was privileged enough to witness a man's integrity because that man kept his word. He was privileged enough to observe a man lead and was taught that he should do the same. He was privileged enough to witness positive male role models that made him want to be one for other boys. And, he was privileged enough to be exposed to the soul of a warrior, the mind of a God, and the actions of a King and was privy to the lessons that only a quality man can teach.

Where My Doggs At?


I want to give praise to God for keeping me covered under the blood of Jesus. He's given me hands-on parents that bathe me in prayer, & because of that, I haven't been sucked into the streets. My heart breaks for these young cats who don't have the love & acceptance from their parents, and they look for it in gangs. My question is: You're in the streets head first and you form bonds with your crew; y'all hustle and thug together until both of you get caught up by the police. It's no surprise that black neighborhoods have heavy police presence because unfortunately, inner-city black neighborhoods are violence-plagued. When you're in the streets with your boys and the police catch up to you, what do you think the cops are going to do? They use the Jedi Mind Trick; butter you up by offering you coffee and cigarettes, get you comfortable enough to start telling. Once the suspects get real comfortable with the investigator, someone will start singing.
You don't believe me? Watch First 48. Two people are arrested for a triple murder & neither of them want life with no parole or the death penalty. Friendships go out the window because both of these dudes want to get back out to one of these women, riding your chevys and bentleys, etc. Some of the nation's most notorious gangsters will tell you the same thing: The streets don't love you, they take you away from those that do. That's why I couldn't be into the streets, because the way I see it is that I've got too much to lose. I've got success out there with my name on it and if I'm jammed up, that messes up my plans. I also wouldn't be able to trust those I'm hustling with because when it comes down to it, if the cops arrest us for major felonies, I don't know if my partner in crime will have my back. He's fighting for his life, which is what he's supposed to do.
The way the streets are now, it's not like it was back in the 60's and before. You had loyalty among notorious gangsters & criminals. There was a strict code of ethics among gangsters that if you're doing dirt and you get caught, you face your time like a man. If a man was doing life, he had his friends look out for his family. You don't take your partners down with you because for whatever reason, you want to get back out there. Fast forward to 2015, you have young brothers telling on each other because they don't want to do that 50 to life bid, yet they knew what they were getting into when they were in the game. Where My Doggs At? Your "doggs" won't be there for you when the cops are asking you what happened the night of the murder, and if they are, they're looking out for themselves. They're not taking a first-degree murder charge for you.

Me Or Her?


Once upon a time, a man broke up with his woman and that was that. Sometimes, he had good reason to leave, other times he left out of haste. It was seldom a man left his woman out of haste because he wanted to make sure he had good reason to leave her. Fast forward to 2015, and you have (wo)men breaking up with their mates and getting back together. When I hear someone say they've been together with such & such person for 8 years on and off, I shake my head in silence because that's bonkers. You break up with someone, then you get back together; rinse and repeat. At some point, you have to make up your mind. If you're going to be with a person, be with them. If you decide to break up with them, do it and stick to your decision. The woman has every right to question her man's feelings for her because he doesn't know who he wants. The first time he and her split, all contact should've been ceased: No e-mail, text, call, NOTHING. Whenever a person decides to leave their mate, unless they have children together, all contact is to cease and desist. 
He needs to make a solid decision on who he wants: His current wife, or his ex. Once he makes a firm decision, he needs to stick to it. If he decides to stay with his current wife, he is to have NO contact with his ex whatsoever. There's nothing wrong with a divorced couple remaining friends, that shows that even though they didn't work out as a couple, they can still be cordial. I can tell by the tone of this letter that he regrets his decision to marry this woman because he wouldn't be keeping tabs on his ex. He married the other woman out of convenience because he doesn't want to be alone. Studies have shown that men are more likely to remarry than women because they need that companionship. It's crazy how a man can get a divorce and 6 months later, he's with another woman. This man is married to his current wife, but he's using the other woman as a rebound in case his current marriage fails; that's why he doesn't want to sever ties with his ex. He wants to know that she'll be there if things don't work out with this woman he's with now.

Zing!

It's time for another installment of Zing! I got the idea of doing blog zings from my newspaper. As stated before, Zings are like tweets where you speak your mind in 140 characters or less. Here we go with some of my favorite Zings from random Twitter folks.

Why Does This Woman Hate Me So Much?


I don't blame many women for not getting involved with single fathers because of baby mama drama. Anytime someone is involved with a single mother or father, the other parent will always be in the picture due to the child(ren). Some people can overlook that, some people can't. That's why I can't fault men for overlooking single mothers, just like I don't fault women for overlooking single fathers. Who wants a ready-made family? I will admit, it takes a special (wo)man to raise someone else's child(ren) as their own, and not too many (wo)men are up for that task. Anyway, this letter is crazy for the simple fact that these two have been warring since grade school. This lady goes out of her way to help this single mother who was a victim of Katrina, and the lady gives her (the letter writer) her butt to kiss. It's actions like hers that give people a reason NOT to want to do for others because some people are very ungrateful. Not only that, this lady went so far as to have the other woman fired from her job, all because she doesn't like her? If logic serves me correctly, disliking someone means you don't give them any power over you. You don't spend energy trying to bring them down to your pathetic level because all that's doing is making you look stupid. Chances are, the other person is keeping it moving while you're envious of him/her for whatever reason. There's not many people I dislike because to be honest, I don't value people enough to dislike them. If I haven't done anything to warrant that person disliking me, that's their problem. I'm going on with my life; I'm not going out of my way to slander their name or bring them down because how does that make me look? I rest my case.
The reason why the baby's mother hates this woman so much is because the man found a better woman than her, and she doesn't like that. She can't stand to see her baby's father happy so she's going to do whatever it takes to destroy someone else's relationship. She wants him back, but he doesn't want her back. Nothing she can do to change his mind because for whatever reason, their relationship soured. If someone doesn't want you, that's their decision. Before she gets into another relationship, I suggest she gets over her hurt or she's going to project her pain onto the next man based on her failed relationship.

All In The Family Pt. 2


Are people trying to expedite God's return with this foolishness? They must be since incest is the ultimate form of sexual perversion. Watch some clowns say "You can't tell consenting adults how to live their lives." Anyone who says that crap is condoning incest, so they are just as wrong. I have to tell it like it is, and I don't care who's slighted: Wrong Is Wrong, period. This foursome mess right here is just sick, but we are living in the last days and the Bible speaks of perversion running amok. I don't care how beautiful his fiancee's twin sister is, as a man there are some things you just don't do, and sexing your fiancee's sister is one of them. She's considered family, and that's a major violation in my book. The fiancee is obviously in on the foursome because she condones it. Oh yeah, that's her twin sister and she gave him the green light, but now look what happened; the fiancee is now pregnant. From a medical standpoint, incest is foul because of the high probability of genetic disorders. It would be heartbreaking for the child to suffer because of the adults' foolishness, but we live in a fallen world so unfortunately, kids have to pay for their parents' mistakes. The thought will NEVER...EVER cross my mind to sex one of my female family members because my moral compass won't allow it. This Strawberry Letter gets better because the mother comes over from the DR and plants a wet one right on his lips. That leads me to believe that the mother is in on this family orgy, and if the mom is in on this, you know feelings will be caught. I just don't see this ending well, AT ALL. This Strawberry Letter has trouble, trouble, trouble written all over it. Jesus Take The Wheel? Nah, Jesus Take The Car.
