Yung Joc Speaks about God?

Jesus, be a wet wipe for your boy, because I can’t take this any more…lol:

Yung Joc appears on stage for a performance as an assembly of youth swarms toward his direction, screaming at the top of their lungs.

Only this time, the rapper delivers a message nothing like his raucous songs “I Know You See It,” “Dope Boy Magic,” or his smash hit “It’s Goin’ Down.”

“I’m not trying to be a preacher, but God is real in my life,” he says, while his 2-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter stand near him at an event called Exodus, a soulful revival for youths.

After Joc’s testimony, the host of the event, Corey “CoCo Brother” Condrey, asks everyone to pray for the rapper. Many in attendance drop to their knees or stand place, tossing their hands toward the sky.

Yung Joc also said, “Somebody might say, ‘How can you talk to kids when you have a gun charge?’ But accidents happen and people make mistakes. With young men and women looking up to me, I have to let them know that I’m a man of God.” [source of story]

Dude said “accidents happen” lol.  How do you accidentally have a gun charge with blatant evidents?  I’m not knockin him being a man of God (despite seeing no fruit of it in his recent videos) but my boy IPS (from Thafeedback.com) said it best:

Yung Joc delivers his testimony…while facing a gun charge and shooting videos with David Banner LOL. They even got Dr. Bobby Jones to chime in on the article! My favorite was Bone Crusher: “‘That’s how we reach them,’ says Bone Crusher, who performed a rock-infused version of gospel.” What he perform!? I AIN’T NEVER SCARED…OF THE DEVIL! Yung Joc did “It’s Going Down (To Hell)” LOL. Church kids know what I am talking about…we always change the words of secular songs to make them churchy! Did we not learn enough from Ma$e though?!

I co-sign everything he said…LOL!

Love (God) In Da Club (or Bar)

Here’s one for the ages…

SIDNEY, Ohio – Another round and amen! Beer was on tap and a mechanical bull inspired the sermon as a new church held its inaugural service in a western Ohio bar.

The Country Rock Church drew about 100 people to Sunday night’s meeting at the Pub Lounge in Sidney, 35 miles north of Dayton.

The barroom church is an offshoot of Sidney United First Methodist Church, whose head pastor says he’s been looking for creative ways to reach people in unconventional places.

The church’s Web site for its new branch advertises “Top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun & a short message.”

The Rev. Chris Heckaman says people really seemed to enjoy themselves so he expects the Country Rock Church will meet weekly.

Heckaman’s sermon compared staying on the bar’s mechanical bull to learning how to get along in life.

“Rowdy fun and a short message?” Wow…well, isn’t this the Walmart of society’s Christian life.  Sin and repent in the same place huh?  I commend the pastor for being unorthodox, but he has a task in front of him.  I can’t even get my drunk Uncle to listen to me.  If he preaches from 1 Cor. 6:10 or Eph 5:18, then the congregation is gonna give him the SEOD (Side Eye of Death).

Brolic at The Tomb?

Now…this is beyond me.  If Jesus was in His grave (like the Saducees wanted Him to be), then He would be turning in it right about now.  Check this out:

A SCUFFLE broke out at the traditional site of Jesus’s burial yesterday when Greek Orthodox and Armenian believers, who fiercely protect their hold over sections of the shrine, traded blows.

Police said a fist-fight broke out after Armenian worshippers yanked a Greek Orthodox cleric away from a tomb in Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the traditional site of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection.

A spokesman said he did not know the cause of the scuffle. Fights are not uncommon among the representatives of Christian sects who jealously guard their rights to parts of the centuries-old church.

“There is always tension there between the different sides,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. “That’s why police were on scene ahead of time to prevent any arguments or disturbances from breaking out.”

No injuries were reported but two Armenians were briefly detained. [source of story]

How in the land of Judea do you pick a fight in front of the burial site of Jesus?  Is this considered gang related, because if it is, then I don’t want to hear any rappers talking about how hard they are.  Fighting in front of the burial site of Jesus is as gansta as it gets.  Wow people…wow.

Medical Scare for Warryn Campbell

Over a week ago award-winning producer Warryn Campbell had a medical scare.

Details are vague, but Campbell’s wife Erica, one-half of the gospel duo Mary Mary issued the following statement:

“In life, sometimes God throws a curve ball. And although we don’t always understand why things happen, we trust in a God who does all things well.

So as Warryn and our family go through this medical emergency, we hope everyone will understand our families need for privacy at this time.

Please keep us in your prayers. And thank you in advance”

Love -Erica Campbell [source of story]

I pray all is well.  Warryn Campbell is my dude.  Very talented musician/producer.

106 & Gospel?

First of all…welcome back.  I’ve been on a severe hiatus.  I apologize about that.  Well, I’m back to keep The Blospel more updated.  Now on to some fresh news.

PREMIERING Q3 2008 — 106 & GOSPEL – It’s the flagship brand extension you’ve been clamoring for: 106 & GOSPEL, an all-new 90-minute weekly music event this growing genre so righteously deserves. In addition to the incredible performances for which the 106 brand is known, 106 & GOSPEL features a top 20 countdown of contemporary gospel videos, news segments with Tye Tribbett, church fashion and roof-raising youth choir battles.

[...for this story and more new BET lineups, check here]

Now…The only thing I wish is that it had another name for it, but I guess 106 & Gospel will do for now.  I don’t know about the “roof-raising” part.  It seems a little 1990-ish to me, but eh…hopefully it will work.  I personally think Tye should be the host, but knowing BET, they’ll probably holla at Kirk first.  At any rate, I hope it all works out.

The Blospel™ Reports: Lawsuit against ORU (UPDATE)

article source: http://newsok.com/article/3141132

On the same day a lawsuit against Oral Roberts University, President Richard Roberts and three school officials was amended to add libel, slander or defamation accusations, the school announced an investigation into allegations made in the suit.

The lawsuit was changed Thursday after Roberts told students at a weekly chapel service Wednesday that the lawsuit against him is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion.

The Blospel’s SMH edition: Reasons for having kids (Part 2)

Now…in the previous post, I told you about the reason for having kids (via Lil Wayne).  SMH!  Now, just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, stuff like this happens:

and here’s the update:

This truly breaks my heart.  Kids coming into this world, and the parents who don’t know the reason or purpose of a child, exposing the child to such foolish acts.  If you don’t know the purpose of something, abuse is inevitable. Abuse = abnormal use.  Prayer is a necessity.
