I’m thinking about getting one of those digital voice recorders so I can record the words “These people don’t care about you. You are just a market to them.” Then I can loop the recording so that it will repeat itself over and over again. Then I won’t have to begin a posting with those words ever again. But since I don’t have that digital recorder…

These people don’t care anything about you. You are just a market to them. A reader posted this comment last night.

Dear Boardmanudobi & Gridiron:

After reading both of your posts about the pimps preaching only from the Old Testament, I thought I would add a comment or two here as I also believe that there is some serious implications to this point.

My daughter moved to Charlotte, North Carolina back in December due to her Job moving her there. She visited a church there named “University Park Baptist Church”, known as “The Park” to the Charlotte Community.

My wife, daughter and little Grand-Son actually visited that church a couple of weeks ago and while they enjoyed the worship atmosphere tremendously, they noticed that the pastor spoke from the Old Testament.

Well, it just happens that I have several friends in that area due to the fact that I use to live in Columbia, South Carolina prior to moving to SouthernCalifornia. I’ve discovered that the Rev. Claude Alexander, the Senior Pastor at The Park primarily preaches from the Old Testament Books.

His church by the way is a large church of about 8,000 members, and his focus is primarily on “encouraging the people”, and not “burdening them down”. I actually e-mailed this brother and asked him why he only preaches from the O.T. and his reply was very defensive, shallow, and pretty much dishonest.

I’m convinced that he doesn’t want the people to have to face their sin, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the consequences of not repenting. While Charlotte is in “The Bible Belt”, please believe me when I tell you that the church folks there are “loose and wild”.

And any kind of sermon that would bring about conviction to their hearts, they wouldn’t care much for the person who is bringing that kind of message! Therefore, I don’t think its an accident that the pimps are only preaching from the O.T.

Blessings!

Quite a coincidence really. I had been working on a posting about University Park Baptist Church. Today is probably as good a day as any to take it out for a drive.

Take a look at this image.

According to this (and “this” is from Cashflow’s site), Mr. Dollar is going to be speaking in Charlotte, NC. Click on the image and get the full information (again from Cashflow’s own site). After you take a look at it, come back here.

That’s right, Cashflow is going to be hosted in Charlotte by none other than the Rev. Claude Alexander and University Park Baptist Church. Click here to go to the World Changers’ site itself. I wouldn’t want you to think I’m making this stuff up.

Would any of you care to explain to me why Mr. Alexander is hosting Cashflow in Charlotte?

Let me rephrase that. We already have a strong suspicion of why he’d hosting him. Money very likely plays a large part in it. The question should be “If Mr. Alexander cares so much for the people for whom he is responsible, then why would he host a pimp like Cashflow?

And remember, this is after the Mase mis-adventure.

You people who attend University Park Baptist church , ask your deacons, elders, reverends, ministers, or maybe even the ushers why your pastor is hosting anything done by Cashflow. Ask them if they believe that Jesus suffered in hell for our sins. Ask them if they believe Jesus is the first born again man. And if the answer is “no” to either of these questions, ask them why they are supporting Cashflow’s appearance.

Doesn’t the Bible say we are to have nothing to do with those who preach another gospel (Gal 1:8; 2 John 9,10)? Certainly by hosting the conference, by plastering his name and the name of the church organization all over the airwaves, Mr. Alexander is doing precisely what the Bible clearly tells him not to do.

OH. And let me remind you that John (I really want to be a Big Dog) Jenkins hob knobs with Mr. Alexander as well. He spoke at this bozo’s church last year. Click here to see the posting.

These pimps and pimpettes don’t care about you. They see you as a market, a way of living a fabulous lifestyle without having to work for it (if you listen to most of their sermons, it’s clear they don’t work). They believe you are too stupid to actually read your Bibles. They know that the sheeple are willing to come in, shut their brains down, and give them as much money as they demand. And they demand a lot.

Still, I feel a little sorry for them. When they face Jesus Christ at the Bema seat they are going to have to give an account for what they have done, what they have said, and what they have failed to say. How many people have passed into hell deceived into thinking they were just fine. How many people are like Confused (the commenter from Mister Twister) and focus on what the bloke does and not what he says?

Pay attention and make sure you aren’t going down the exact same road as these clowns by thoughtlessly defending them.

Pay attention. Study your Bible. Be obedient to God’s word. Anything less is simply playing at church and wasting your time.

By the way, apparently as a way of following the template laid down by Fast Eddie, Mr. Alexander is bringing in Cornel West and Tavis Smiley to tell the church what it needs to do to have an impact in the Black community. Click here to see it.
