Hezekiah Walker - Is the Buzz Worth Buzzing?


The last few days I have received over twenty emails forwarded to me concerning the latest and hottest gossip on Verity Records gospel Hezekiah Walker. The subject line of the emails included things such as "Hezekiah Comes Out of the Closet", "Gay Preacher", "Hezekiah Steps Down".

I will say this concerning these emails, "we have all sinned and falling short of His glory." This couple divorced because of private matters. Leave it stay PRIVATE. What's the purpose of bringing up issues that took place about three years ago.

Is it self-gratify to take a public figures struggles and talk about it over and over again. It's amazing to me that the sins of gospel artists and preachers are held to a higher standard than the average person.

Yes, I know he's a minister.

Don't all Christians have the responsibility to minister to the world.

Yes, I know he's on television singing about God's goodness.

Don't you do tell your co-workers about the goodness of Jesus on your job.

I think the best thing we can do for Hezekiah Walker, his ex-wife Monique, and their child is to PRAY for them. The same way you pray to overcome your sins (known and UNKNOWN), they deserve that same consideration.

Satan is slick! In the last few years we (America) went from asking for continual Christian prayer during 9/11, Christian-based movies such as Passion of Christ and the Gospel, and best-selling books such as "The Purpose Driven Life", to church burnings, pulpit scandals, gospel artist revelations, and federal laws that go against everything Christians stand for.

Wise-up! Stop focusing on the latest gossip and see the BIG picture. We to pray for the Christian community altogether and stop letting the media determine who we will forgive and pray for.
