Disgraced pastor's former church paid settlement to young volunteer This image taken from video, supplied by Magnolia Pictures, shows the Rev. Ted Haggard preaching in the documentary film "Jesus Camp." updated 9:24 p.m. ET Jan. 23, 2009 DENVER - Disgraced evangelical leader Ted Haggard's former church disclosed Friday that the gay-sex scandal that caused his downfall extends to a young male church volunteer who reported having a sexual relationship with Haggard — a revelation that comes as Haggard tries to repair his public image . Brady Boyd, who succeeded Haggard as senior pastor of the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, told The Associated Press that the man came forward to church officials in late 2006 shortly after a Denver male prostitute claimed to have had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with Haggard. Boyd said an "overwhelming pool of evidence" pointed to an "inappropriate, consensual sexual relationship...

Suffice it to say that A dear friend, Sir Poddy sent me an email, at first I didn't go to the link but then He sent the article to my inbox which I was very grateful for. Not only did it make it easier for me but I was now going to read this post as the Spirit of God led me to take a look at it. and when I got to it, I became worried by the tone of the letter still I continued reading the post and came off with so many questions but won't be asking any questions today for enough has been said already about this but, that doesn't make it any less painful. For I not only found out that even the ministry itself has a lot of Praying to do for Spiritual wisdom ,but that Todd is even adamant to repent of His sins and that breaks my little heart BUT . . . Christians, it is time I think we start Praying for many who are called to serve in  the vineyard of the Lord. We are to Pray even for those who called themselves into the ministry and those who are confused too (trust...

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — The ex-husband of national televangelist Juanita Bynum , who divorced after a parking lot fight between the two landed him in jail, plans to take his search for a new wife to the Internet with videos featuring dating tips and what he’s looking for in a mate. Thomas W. Weeks III , a minister who runs an Atlanta-area church and is known to his followers as Bishop Weeks, said the 10-episode series will be available starting Tuesday on his Web site. Excerpts available Friday included Weeks, 41, discussing with aides what he should look for in his third wife. The group concludes the woman should be at least 25 years old but “with special exemptions for 21 and up if they are classy,” Weeks said. She also must want to have children with him. “This woman has to be very discerning, and very intimate, and very social and very sensual,” Weeks says, laughing. “And on the ministry side she has to be very diverse. She can...

I saw this video on You tube,  it is A Video commentary on Todd Bentley   by Bro Justin titled Watch The Women! I laughed at the first part of this man's video especially the part where he said  Todd Bentley   was not to be blamed but the women in Church because, the down fall of most men of God is as a direct result of satan using women because women are weaker in  the flesh. . . .so he urges people to  "Watch the Women" lol. Hold on Bro Justin  I thought fornication/adultery takes two. . .  I can't imagine how many times we have heard a woman  raped a man but you hear that all the time about men doing so to women even in the Church and work places . I can't even recall the number of times that I was almost violently raped being as a result of my seducing any of the men in question, so I do not know what Bro Justin is on about on that one.  . .  So if a man of God falls we should hold the Women responsible. . .  is that ...

This particular article  was brought to my  attention by an anonymous visitor and I didn't think it would nice for me to read it alone because, I'd say, this about clears most of the questions I and most of  you fellow brothers and Sisters have been asking for sometime now and I think that the Body of Christ needs to heal from this heartache so we can move forward. . .  to the work of our God ! Amen. READ THIS REPORT AND WATCH FOR THE POINTS I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW: ROBERT RICCIARDELI RESPONDS TO RECENT TODD BENTLEY NEWS Sun August 17, 2008 10:11 am  Roberts Weekly Pondering Todd Bentley's moral failure was publicly exposed this week. There is more that has come forth from young women and pastors from his home town and around the world, so more information should be forthcoming, unfortunately . We have tried to be wise in our reporting, as we felt compelled to report because so many questions were being asked and so many were being influenced by wrongful d...

I know some of  you might not like /love me for this post , or might not even want to  visit my blog after this but , am addressing this Todd Bentley issue because of the fact that God has vindicated me and all those who asked this same question about Todd Bentley and His ways. Secondly to address the erroneous feeling that I in some way, am enjoying what is happening to Todd  Bentley and his Ministry.  . . far from that! In fact am  ashamed and sad that so - called Christians are busy deceiving  others and making it difficult for real Christians to do  the work of God Almighty in this day and age . . .  where the devil is pulling all the stops to make sure that Christians find things difficult in this life. The reason for  my  previous post was because I was baffled about his divorce and I wondered why a man who claimed to do  all those mighty things suddenly, wants out of his marriage to his  wife of many years . Even thou...

Preacher killed wife, stuffed body in freezer, police say (CNN) -- An evangelical preacher killed his wife several years ago and stuffed her body in a freezer after she caught him abusing their daughter, according to police and court documents. Anthony Hopkins appeared in court Thursday to face murder, rape and incest charges. Anthony Hopkins, 37, was arrested Monday night at the Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Jackson, Alabama, just after he had delivered a sermon to a congregation that included his seven other children, officials said. He faces charges including murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and incest. Hopkins was denied bail Thursday when he appeared before Mobile County District Judge George Hardesty. The case is set for arraignment next week, Hardesty's clerk said. The case began Monday, when the daughter, now 19, went to the Mobile Police Department's Child Advocacy Center and reported that she had been sexually abused by Hopkins since ...

The whole News Media and Christians alike  terrified with this news at least I speak for myself . I thought pastors/bishops were role models? and people who should show the "lost" the way to the Cross, how disappointed I am  about this news. I ask myself couldn't they have forgiven and forgotten? or was their bruised ego too much to bear; making it difficult for them to humble themselves before God and reconcile to the Glory of God?. (sometimes I wonder if it was as a result of the beating taking place at a public place that made it worse for her to forgive, maybe if it was at home nobody would know and she might still be in the Marriage) who knows!? I ask again isn't there any tiniest way the Holy Spirit must have dropped it in their hearts for them to make peace for the sake of the flock they are overseeing? Well I know that some of us are too familiar with God so we can  do whatever we like Proverb 14:12  There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the en...

How can anybody who calls on the name of the most High God, do this? I mean, Impregnating a lady and asking her to have an abortion right in the church office... I know you are thinking she wants to tell another story... This is no story, this happened yesterday as my husband went to visit our pastor in the Church. (I say God sent him there at the right time)  will stop here for now don't want to give out most of the info until I have heard from my fellow Christian Brothers and Sisters on their take on this issue at hand. Cos my husband is shaking he is confused doesn't know what to do, he thought they were close... I said obviously not close enough for him not to know this part of the pastor, He wants to confront him...  I said No Ways! Now am asking should he confront Him? or should he go to the church headquarters and report him so that another pastor would be brought to the branch? or should he keep quiet and let him keep deceiving other Children of God as he had deceived...

Many folks have heard or read this story time and time again but for the sake of those who haven't already... please do read and be blessed as I was when  read it. Godbless FOR COUPLES AND INTENDING ONES.... When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. "I want a divorce!" I raised the topic calmly.She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, "Why"? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I didn't l...

Glory to God!!! February is here again and soon everyone will be all about Valentines this and Valentine that, so many people will get engaged on that day or better still get married on that day. . . Well am not against people celebrating or whatever, even I have picked out things I want my husband to buy for me, LOL. The fact still remains that many rush into things without looking, hence the high divorce rates, and spousal abuse etc (especially in the Christendom) it is scary that even the world have to give advice to Christians now. Perhaps you are already married , about to wed, or in a very serious relationship, I recommend you read this along side with your Bible. My junior sister's friend sent me this through email last year Godbless you as read SUCCESS IN LOVE RELATIONSHIPS Success in love relationships is not a matter of luck.
