Poison The Well

I don't think the new television series " Preachers Of LA" is a good look for successful pastors. The point that I think should be driven home is:  Luke 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house."  If a man is able to gain material wealth from his preaching the word of God.  I have no problem with that. Even though we are dealing with men of the cloth. I predict butting of heads because we are dealing with five  black men and one white with money. Egos no doubt are going to collide.

I noticed only five  men are in this above picture. In the first episode there were six.  Has one of them quit already. Other than this show. Do these ministers even fellowship?  I can see Deitrick Haddon and Clarence McClendon bumping heads. McClendon is the one not like the other. No matter how many awards Deitrick gets and records he sells.  Pastor McClendon's congregation and followers know better. They are too mature in the faith to drink the milk.They know a pastor shouldn't be having children outside of marriage. He is not operating according to scripture. And neither is Noel Jones. He and Deitrick Haddon are two peas in a pod. Noel Jonrs is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He preys on the flock.

People these days often turn a testimony into a ministry. Just because you stopped using dope doesn't mean you were called to preach. Ron Gibson and Jay Hazlip are hard time preachers. People always get religion after a troubling ordeal.  I'm not saying they're not real. I just don't care for focus groups. The message of the gospel is the same for Bloods, Crips, Vice Lords and everybody else.The truth is in the retention. How many gang bangers and party goers have actually changed their lives? Christianity is not a quick fix. According to Pastor Gibson"They see my glory, but  they don't know my story". But the glory is why people listen to you. I bet they get a lot of  converts at funerals and altar calls.

The jury is still out on Wayne Chaney and his wife Myesha. He is from the old school of religion His grandfather founded Antioch Church 52 years ago. He knows how to do it whether he does the right thing or not. I think he has gotten hung up on the hype himself. So far with him I haven't seen the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by some of the others. But he might be hen pecked. The way to get to him is through his wife. This show is what folks will do for money and power. Deitrick Haddon, one of the shows producers is an unemployed pastor. He doesn't have a 3000 member congregation. His ministry is on his back. He spit the silver spoon out of his mouth. Now he wants to poison the well.

Deitrick Haddon is a loose cannon. He has too much influence on thirsty impressionable minds to be a pastor.This guy tried to make an argument that shacking is not in the Bible.
