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...

Oh yeah I have seen pastors twist and turn the Word of God to suit their hearts agenda often times, even my father does that too, whenever he wants to do something terrible he looks for a passage in the Bible and twists it to his favor  . . . but that is another topic for another day . . . Hopefully not! Watch for yourself my dear friend . . . From the message I could gather these few points that I could not comprehend how a  man of God could say these things and people applaud at the same time. Pastor weeks says . . . "The Bible says the bedroom is undefiled that is why God allows undefiled stuff to take place in the bedroom" The Problem arises when you say stuff you are supposed to say in the bedroom outside of the bedroom. All those special words you can't say no more because you are saved, say them in your bedroom The bedroom becomes the balance to your salvation To many "Church Folk" In Church!?   But my Bible...

Matthew 6:19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?   You Do...

IS THIS PART OF THE GREAT COMMISION . . . CHRISTIANS? IS THIS WHAT THE LAST DAYS CHURCH LOOKS LIKE? IS SEX THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN LIFE THAT CHURCHES NOW SPEND TIME ADVOCATING  AND PROMOTING  IT? WHAT IS NEXT FROM THESE PREACHERS?   Watch this too   I cannot even begin to imagine that this goes on in Churches in America AND AROUND THE WORLD! I haven't been doing much blogging lately or even visiting my fave blogs because am a bit stressed at the moment and am also trying not to sit for long due to pain I have on my pelvic bone but the Lord is Strengthening me in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. I thought all that was going on in most Churches was the lukewarm messages coming out out of the pulpit.  I didn't know that right there in the Church, "Sex" is now the major subject  instead of the message of salvation and repentance from sin. As if people don't get enough of that from the media , they still have get that inside the Church too!? Jesus am scared...

Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:51 AM By: Rick Pedraza A Michigan man is seeking $70 million from two Christian publishers for emotional distress and mental instability he received during the past 20 years from versions of the Bible that refer to homosexuality as a sin. Bradley LaShawn Fowler, a gay man, claims his constitutional rights were infringed upon by Zondervan Publishing Co. and Thomas Nelson Publishing, both of which, he claims, deliberately caused homosexuals to suffer by misinterpretation of the Bible. Fowler, 39, is seeking $60 million from Zondervan and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson. According to a USA Today report, Fowler’s two separate suits against the publishers claim the intent of the Bible revisions that refer to homosexuals as sinners reflect an individual opinion or a group's conclusion. Fowler says the deliberate changes made to first Corinthians, chapter six, verse nine caused him "or anyone who is a homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimin...

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...

By Joshua Goldberg Christian Post Reporter Thurs, June. 05 2008 06:59 PM ET The rates of sexuality activity among U.S. high school students rose this year, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly half of all high school students have reportedly had sex, even as condom and contraceptive use is declining, the study noted. Although the rates of sexual activity represented a decrease from its record high of 54 percent in 1991, the new results suggest a new upward trend among students. The study found an increase in sexual activity among Hispanic students and a decrease among white and black students. Furthermore, the number of students who reported to have had more than four sexual partners declined from its 1991 high of 19 percent to just 15 percent this year, according to the study. The survey, which is conducted every two years and seeks to gauge the frequency of a wide range of risky behaviors among youth,...
