Woman's Husband Lost His Life For Not Listening To Warning Dream God Gave Her [Part 1]

Media_httpa3sphotosak_uhbjh

DREAMS OF WARNING FROM THE LORD

I'm writing to you all to share a powerful and very serious testimony. One day I was out with one of my sons in the gospel by the name of Jay Gregory, who is the Pastor at Faith Covenant Fellowship, a thriving church in Detroit, MI which is one of many that is under my apostleship. As Pastor Jay and I spoke he began telling me of a precious young lady in her middle 30's that had a dream one night that her husband died during a motorcycle accident on his bike.

She woke up and told him the dream. It was a warning from God. He and his wife both agreed that God was warning him about how dangerous riding his motorcycle was and that it could lead to his death. So he agreed to stop riding as God had warned. His commitment to obeying this command from God in a dream only lasted a few days. Within a few days he got back on his motorcycle bike and that very day he was in a motorcycle accident and died. He left behind his wife and children. He should have taken this warning dream from God as something serious and IMPORTANT!!

Will this be You?

The Kiss of Judas Iscariot Prevalently Resides in The Church [PHOTO]

Media_httpwwwurbanchr_dchbz

The photo pictured above never really set well with us. When we first saw it, we knew in our spirits something was not sincere nor right about it coming from the blonde one.

Take a gather at the information about the kiss of Judas. It's quite revealing.

According to the account in the Gospel of John, Judas carried the disciples' money bag. He betrayed Jesus for a bribe of "thirty pieces of silver" by identifying him with a kiss — "the kiss of Judas". [Source]

Pastors Mentored By Bishop Earl Paulk Allegedly Carried The Torch of Scandal [Part 2]

Media_httpwwwcbccagfx_vughq

This is part two of pastors whom appear to be scandalous not all by being mentored by Bishop Earl Paulk but we can say there is a strong connection of scandal present.

We have researched and have actually covered extensive news on our Bishop Eddie Long page who was accused by four men Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson and Spencer LeGrande of sexual misconduct in Sept. 2010. The four men alleged Bishop Long lavished them with money, cars, apartments and trips while being members the church at ages as young as 14 years old. The pastor has since paid the young men off in an undisclosed settlement this year in May 2011. There was also an unknown 5th accuser, Centino Kemp who joined in the settlement but not everyone is believing his story completely.

But let's not get into this news right now because it is just the fall after the rise of Bishop Eddie Long. In the beginning, Bishop Long became pastor of Traveler's Rest Baptist church in Scottsdale, Ga near Atlanta in 1984 when Kenneth Samuels was pastor. There was a group of pastors at the church including Bishop Eddie Long and because Long could bring in more members, he was chosen to be the pastor of the church. Samuels admitted later that the people of the church felt Long could do a better job at growing the church than he could. Consequently, Samuels had members follow him to start his gay affirming Victory Church in Stone Mountain, Ga. Samuels' wife subsequently divorced him after the 'changes' set in.

NDCC Church Board Announces Paula White as New Pastor Today

Media_http2bpblogspot_gfyza

It's pretty obvious now that since church members and Riva Tims have thrown a monkey wrench in their plans to announce Paula White as their new pastor on News Year's day. Instead, NDCC administrators have already confirmed the news in a press release on Thursday.

"We celebrate the continuation of a vision, a vision launched back in 1996 with the founding of New Destiny Christian Center as a non-denominational church with a multi-cultural mission," a statement attributed to Board of Directors member Elder Marguerite Esannason, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

"We prayed fervently for guidance during our search which led us to ask Pastor Paula White to take over as Senior Pastor," Harold Fuller, acting chairman of the Board of Directors, said in a statement. "...We earnestly know that the Lord led us to select Pastor Paula White."

"...We believe Pastor Paula will continue to make New Destiny a church for all people..."

Paula White, who has been divorced twice and has a string of financial issues, will reportedly be a non-voting member of NDCC's Board of Directors and will answer to directors as well as the Board of Regents.

Riva Tims Files Suit Against Church While Board Announces Paula White as New Pastor

Media_httpwwwcfnews13_pixbc

Riva Tims, the co-founder of New Destiny Christian Center with her former husband Pastor Zachary Tims, has said on Thursday she plans to file a lawsuit against the church.

The Thursday morning news conference, filled with reporters and cameras, go the news first hand from Riva Tims. She has stated she will "no longer be silent" over who the church's board members choice for pastor of NDCC.
The church members received a news release, only hours before Riva Tims spoke, announcing Rev. Paula White's new position as the church's senior pastor.
Many of the supporters said since Riva Tims should lead the church since she is one of the church's founders. Apparently, Riva Tims agrees and has been grieving over what people have said about it. She contends that the church is "her heritage and legacy and that's why she intends to challenge the board's decision." Source

Tims says the church bylaws make it plain that she should be pastor of the church. She says she has tried to meet several times with New Destiny's board and with White, but they have refused to meet her, reported News 13.

"I'm here to declare to you today that as a founder of New Destiny Christian Center, that I am the real mother," Tims said to cheers.

New Destiny Church Members Protest New Pastor on Christmas Day

Media_httpihuffpostco_otrnc

There were some members of the Orlando area church spent part of their Christmas protesting the possible appointment of a new pastor, Paula White. Churchgoers at New Destiny Christian Center are concerned over the possibility of Paula White replacing the church's late pastor, Zachary Tims.
On Christmas day, the group of protesters passed around petitions and asked board members to resign. They claim the church's board has ulterior motives and is not looking out the what's truly best for Zachery Tims' legacy nor for the church members at large.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that a New Destiny member Eugene Roberson, whose leading the petition drive stated:
"We don't need this board. We feel this board has ulterior motives," said Eugene Roberson.
"The board passed out the survey last Sunday, and a week later they have not given us the results of the survey. We did our own survey and no one was in favor of Paula White," Roberson said today.
The petition stated Zachery Tims' ex-wife, Riva Tims, should by all right be the pastor.

"The majority of the congregation does not want Paula White. We want our mother back, and our mother is pastor Riva Tims," Mary Walker said.

Paula White's 2nd Without Walls Church in Lakeland Has Been Closed Since August

Media_httpwwwtheledge_covlb

Paula White's second church location in North Lakeland, Florida named Without Walls Central has not held services since at least August. Lakeland Electric disconnected the church's electric service because they say its owner, White of Without Wall Church in Tampa had too many missed payments.

Thanks for The Old Black Church for the tip on this one!

A city spokesman named Kevin Cook stated Without Walls owed more than $50,000 in unpaid bills. Lakeland Electric even applied the church's deposit of $51,180, he said, which left the owners with a balance of $2,953.79. This small amount of money which probably would pay for a staff dinner date on the church's tab, still has not been paid.

Note: It's important to mention that electric service was shut off the very month Pastor Zachery Tims died in a NY hotel.

Rev. Randy White, a co-founder of Without Walls International and the ex-husband of Paula White, told reporters that in November the Lakeland property was on going to be sold or it was going into foreclosure.

Many people would not have known much about the status of the property if it had not been for the widely public news on Paula White possibly assuming leadership of Zachery Tims' New Destiny Church in Apopka.

Here's a little history on the Lakeland Church location:

This is pretty interesting that someone who models herself as a raunchy and explicit female rapper would try and connect with Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. Nicki Minaj tweeted to her fans about Jesus Christ on the holiday, reported from Christmas Post.

She tweeted the John 3:16 scripture to her eight million followers on Christmas.

“For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life,” Minaj tweeted. “Merry Christmas & God bless you all!”

Statement from Backpage.com Representative on Detroit Murders

Media_httpwwwatoast2w_pdmcr

Today we are giving you the latest on the Backpage murders. Here is a statement...

Eddie Long's New Birth Christian Academy Closing Down Due to Financial Issues

Well, the beginning of the end is still moving along at Bishop Long's New Birth Church. As he will never confront the sexual allegations or any other allegations against him, his church empire is struggling financially since the dirt as surfaced. We want to thanks Hinterland Gazette for the heads up on the story.

Channel 2 Action News reported Tuesday night, New Birth Christian Academy is shutting its doors, temporarily the school board stated.

Even though the New Birth Christian Academy Board of Directors states the decision to close is not related to the sexual coercion allegations, most of us know better than that.

News reports have stated the school will not reopen after the holidays.

School officials issued this statement to Channel 2:

"The deficit, along with the declining enrollment over the years, left the New Birth Christian Academy Board of Directors with no other option. The board has made the tough decision to temporarily close the school."

The statement is not being completely truthful. In the report, it stated just a few years ago, the school's enrollment was over 300 students but this year dwindled down to less than 100 students.

How many of us know the school will probably not be temporarily closed but indefinitely?

It needs to be mentioned that the letter sent to parents of the students of the school have not addressed refunding the remaining registration fees that were paid for an entire school year.

Greek Life

The recent death Greek Life of Robert Champion, Jr., the late FSU Drum Major, has brought much needed attention to the unsafe and even unlawful hazing practices commonly seen on HBCUs. The autopsy report showed that Champion "suffered muscle damage commonly seen in such events as car accidents, prolonged seizures, child abuse and torture". His death also calls an even bigger issue into question. Why are so many men and women willing to do whatever it takes to be a part of these organizations?

Fire Victim’s Family Awarded $150 Billion By Texas Jury

Fire Victim’s Family Awarded $150 Billion By Texas Jury

This case carries a pretty large settlement for a fire victim but anytime victims can be awarded this large amount means the crime was just as large to the family of the victims and the jury.

A Texas jury has awarded the largest verdict some have ever heard of – $150 billion has been award to the family of a man who died 12 years after being set afire as an 8-year-old.

Attorney Craig Sico says the punitive damage award is symbolic and the family expects none of it will be paid.

The defendant, Don Wilburn Collins, is currently imprisoned on an unrelated sexual assault charge. He was never charged and denies involvement in the 2010 death of 20-year-old Robbie Middleton.

Sico says he asked jurors to make a statement by topping the $145 billion Florida verdict against tobacco companies in 2000.

Neither Collins nor any attorney appeared for him at the civil trial. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice didn’t respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

Newly Wed Gay Couple Receive Congratulations Letter From Obama?

Media_httpwwwgcmwatch_abdbj

Apparently, this is very true according to the report at Urban Christian News. A Brooklyn gay couple, Matt Katz and Aaron Lafrenz were astonished when they received a letter from President Obama six months after they tied the not in a gay wedding.

The two men were wed in July 2011 and just recently received a letter in the mail this month "with the White House seal indented in the paper and the signature of one Barack Obama on the bottom."

Obama has been opposed to gay marriage in the past, though he has recently said his views on the topic are "evolving."

ABC News was told that a family friend, Arlene Weinstock, had requested the letter on their behalf after hearing that the White House would take requests upon the passage of the New York gay marriage bill.

The couple was pretty confused because they were not big gay rights activists but acknowledges that the President is using this as an opportunity to gain gay votes.

ABC also contacted The White House about the letter and they responded that it "regularly sends congratulatory messages from the president to members of the public."

Minority Borrowers To Get $335 Million In B of A Settlement Over Countrywide Discrimination Practices

Media_httpihuffpostco_hgfrc

The United State Department of Justice filed a claim on Wednesday with the Central District court of California and is awaiting court approval. Consequently, the DOJ has labeled this as the largest settlement in history concerning residential fair lending practices.

Lender Countrywide owned by Bank of America charged over 200,000 African-American and Hispanic borrowers higher fees and interest rates than non-Hispanic white borrowers with a similar credit profile. The complaint says that these borrowers were charged higher fees and rates because of their race or national origin rather than any other objective criteria.

Yale's 1st Black Head Football Coach Defrauded His Claim to Fame

Former Yale coach, Tom Williams is facing incriminating allegations that he was not truthful on his resume in 1992 when he said he was a linebacker at Stanford.

The coach had never been a Rhodes scholar candidate or applicant, let alone a finalist, as he had let the world believe. He had told Yale he was a candidate with an entry on his résumé. His biography on the Yale Web site said the same thing.

Yale, which had undertaken an internal review to investigate Williams’s Rhodes scholarship assertion after an article in The New York Times raised doubts about its legitimacy, announced that the coach had resigned.

In a news release from the university, Williams said he had been encouraged to apply for a Rhodes scholarship while at Stanford, but never did so:

Iran Veteran Sgt. Wesley Durden AKA ‘Next Great Baker’ Contestant Commits Suicide

Media_httpassetsnydai_ywjyv

A reality show contestant on TLC’s “Next Great Baker,” Sgt. Wesley Durden, has reportedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The production just wrapped up in October, according to Fayetteville, N.C. authorities. His body was found dead in Jacksonville off Reilly Road with one gun shot to his body.

Consequently, the network TLC announced Durden’s death after Monday’s episode but never mentioned the death was an alleged suicide.

The organization was just alerted that a mother and her daughter were subjected to trying on clothes in Macy's a dressing room in the Galleria Mall in Dallas, TX which was run by a man presenting himself as a woman.

Also, many reports from all over the country have come in stating men in general are allowed to hang out in the women's dressing rooms at Macy's. In these situations, the men were identifying as men.

Co-Founder of NDCC Riva Tims Will Tell Her Story In Charisma Magazine

Media_httpwwwatoast2w_zfhiz

Riva Tims may not have been respected nor considered as the co-founder of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida amongst the church's board but she is a pastor and champion in her own right.

She will be gracing the cover of the February 2012 issue of Charisma magazine. The featured cover story about her is entitled:

"When it All Falls Apart: Through Death, Divorce and More,

Riva Tims Found God's Hope and Healing and You Can Too!"

She posted this cover and two others so Facebook friends could help choose their favorite layout. We chose this one above!

Oh and by the way, Riva Tims had this to say to the church members, Paula White and the board, just hours after the protest was announced to go on at New Destiny Church:

To the members of NDCC, I know there is a lot going on for you all right now. My heart aches for you and I would have loved to be a part of the healing process for you. The children and I feel ...

BoycottKim.com Petition Claims Kim Kardashian 'Made a Mockery of American Culture'

Media_httpnewsonecomf_pgtdx

This is an interesting topic. We commend the efforts of the founders of this website for denouncing mockery and just plain no talented folks who make millions from it.

An online petition found at BoycottKim.com has attracted the signatures of more than 277,500 people who proclaim that they’re done supporting the reality star and her publicity-loving family.AThe site claims Kardashian has “made a mockery of American culture” and the petition hopes to attract as many signatures as possible in hopes of influencing Kardashian’s sponsors to end their relationship with her.

Those who sign the petition pledge to “boycott the products sold & marketed” by the 31-year-old. They also promise to avoid shopping at any stores that carry Kardashian-branded merchandise and to never watch “any television show, movie or sex tape” that features her.

The site also displays the logos of nearly 40 brands or stores that either use Kardashian as an endorser or sell her products.

Student Kicked Out of Class For Not Supporting Teacher's Gay Views

Student Kicked Out of Class For Not Supporting Teacher’s Gay Views

A mother has filed a federal lawsuit against her son’s school district and a high school teacher for removing her son from the class because her son’s religious beliefs prevent him from accepting homosexuality.

Sandra Glowacki, who is a Catholic has accused Howell Public School District and teacher Johnson McDowell of violating her son’s constitutional rights.

The suit says the teacher kicked out Daniel Glowacki, 16, then a junior, from an economics class on Oct. 20, 2010, while the district was observing anti-bullying day and Spirit Day. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation encourages Americans to wear purple on Spirit Day to support LGBT youth who may feel harassed because of their sexual preference.

The lawsuit said the district allowed teachers to sell purple “Tyler’s Army” T-shirts in support of Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman who killed himself last year after a roommate streamed an Internet video of Clementi kissing a male student. The teacher, McDowell, wore one of the T-shirts throughout the day and devoted his classes to promoting homosexuality, the suit said.

The lawsuit stated, teacher McDowell told one student to remove a  belt buckle brandishing a Confederate flag he felt it was offensive.

Subsequently, Daniel Glowacki asked the teacher why rainbow flags were permitted, the teacher kicked him out of the class but not before receiving an unfavorable response to his question: “Do you support gays?” The Catholic religion prohibits him from doing so, but teacher told Glowacki and another student to leave class.

The district suspended McDowell for one day without pay.

Though we don’t agree with the history and pain behind the Confederate flag, we don’t agree with the teacher removing the students from the class because of their views. This is not how they should handle these issues. Actually all offensive things should be carefully dealt with due to differences of belief and views. By the teacher discouraging the wearing of the Confederate flag but widely supporting gays at school, is very bias and sends the wrong message. They are both very controversial issues and should a teacher be promoting gays in school anyway?

Can Black Churches Welcome Homosexuals But Remain Against The Lifestyle?

Media_httpimgssfgatec_gxqhx

We have to acknowledge the fact there are homosexuals, lesbians and transgendered people in the church and in the black church. We don't think there is any objection to this. People of alternative lifestyles have filled the pews of many churches across the nation long before we started publicly speaking on the issue. Though the picture above is of Bishop Yvette Flunder's City of Refuge Church which is a gay and transgender accepting church, we will not be dealing with that aspect of gays in the black church. Contrarily, the issue at hand is: Can black churches welcome homosexuals but remain against the lifestyle?

This question can be a tough one depending on the pastor and the church. Without sounding condescending, we all know gays have been in the black church forever and some churches have welcomed it and some have not. What we have found is while gays and lesbians have found a place at the black church, they are both accepted and not accepted.

Protest Underway Against Paula White as New Destiny Church Pastor and For Riva Tims

Media_httpa1ecimagesm_duept

We will not hear the last of the Zachery Tims and New Destiny saga until its really settled and over and its definitely not over now. While there are many church members who would have loved for Zachery Tims' former wife Riva Tims to succeed him, apparently she stated on Facebook, the church officials had not invited her to participate in the selection process. Minister Anderson at New Destiny Church was the very first to announce to reporters on camera that Riva Tims was one of the persons they were looking into to take over the church. This occurred the Monday after news of Tims' death but for some unknown reason, he has since denied commenting on her ever being considered.

On Sunday, Deborah Johnson reached out to Riva Tims on Facebook about the news of Paula White as pastor and stated:

"We are shocked at the news and praying for God's perfect will to manifest. We love you, Pastor Riva."

Riva Tims responded:...

Missing Girl Jhessye Shockley's Body Thrown In Trash After Mother Tortured Her

Media_httpwwwexaminer_cbffc

This is very sad news and we are literally fighting back tears. Our hearts bleed for this little girl and her family.

The missing girl that disappeared on Oct. 11th may be dead and in a landfill, police say. Glendale police stated the body may have been placed in a trash receptacle in Tempe and then dumped in a landfill before she was reported missing.

The police are not specifying who they think killed little Jhessye. They are only stating that reliable and substantive information has been obtained from leads after her mother, Jerice Hunter, was arrested in November. Other reports state leads came from the Silent Witness program.

The Phoenix News Times stated Glendale Officer Tracey Breeden calls this case now a homicide investigation and Jhessye Shockley's mother, Jerice Hunter, is "the primary focus."

The police feel they now know what happened to little Jhessye weeks before she went missing.
