Well, I agree with you (in assessing the video) that the most important thing (my words) for any of us is if we agree with God. The reason the question is posed is because there are ministers, preachers…….who say things that God does not agree with and people follow those preacher. The question has to do with what people think about this specific matter.
@theway77744 It is unfortunate that there are those who would "add to" or "take away from" the Word of God. It is even more unfortunate that people follow those who teach things that God has not said. I believe that Apostle Paul says, " Follow me as I follow Christ." This is of utmost importance......is the person who I am listening to actually leading me closer to Christ or leading me away from Christ in my thinking, living, and being?
That Bishop don't quite know what he's talking about, he's another version of Ginno Jankins, only low Key, so as not to run off or offend certain members of his own Church! BTW, I'm neither Gay, nor Homosexual myself. Amen
@ralphmatthews860 Well, I don't know him or his teachings enough to know if what you say is true one way or another. I'm sure that you have your reasons for this statement.
❤ when you speak out against the spirit of homosexuality in the church you face backlash. But the Word is clear and does not change . Thank You Pastor.
@@robertbaldwin2792 but you’re wrong though. All sexual immorality is preached against in the church. Adultery, fornication, lust, homosexuality and so on. Don’t be defensive if one hits too close to home. God just wants all of US imperfect people to bring it to him.
@@cannon59 You can project all you want we all know adultery and fornication is rarely if ever mentioned and you know it. Because if it was condemned like homosexuality is you would lose half the church period you’re the one defensive my friend
And that’s just what it is entertaining people just because they can sing. The Bible speaks of Him not accepting our worship if we are not living right.
@@KM-iz6sg Yes, and I'm pretty sure he displayed feminine attributes that should clue an individual that this person is not representative of our beliefs.
My sister was an evangelist. She once told me that it is a sin to allow anyone openly practicing sin to take a leadership position in the church, because it pollutes the pulpit. Deliberate sin, is rebellion against God. How can that person be an example or a teacher? The Bishop was right to take a stand for the sake of his congregation.
I agree with all that you said. But also, the Bishop (as the leader) and the church have to do their due diligence and properly vet anyone who will be on their stage. I agree with all that the Bishop said but I believe that the church also dropped the ball on this one. Had the church done the background check they would have known about the young man's effeminate nature.
It's not about Bishop Wooden, but God !!! There is a standard of Holiness. Tho a lot of leaders compromise. They will be held accountable for leading people down the wrong path
I agree with Pastor Wooden wholeheartedly. And may God continue to give him the wisdom and boldness to preach the Word of God with power and without apology.
Using Bishops logic then he need’s to immediately stop his praise and worship team from singing at least half its songs cause a good amount of them have been written by the homosexuals he doesn’t want leading praise and worship. Again using his own logic.
satan is bz infiltrating the church whether blk, wht or brown. Its not an issue of color. The enemy dont care your color. Infiltration is in all churches because of a lack of biblical standards and wanting to be like the world.
I appluad you Bishop for your continual and consistent stance for holiness and the Word of God. To many Pentecostal and holiness churches compromising. I stand with you.

Judah, I want your opinion, please. I knew a man from the moment of his birth. When he started walking and talking, it was clear that he was effeminate. His parents tried everything they knew of to get the effeminate side out of him with manly sports, activities, etc. But, nothing worked ! ( Sadly, he died of AIDS 5 years ago at age 57. ) Please, Judah, please tell me what you, personally , would have done to knock that effeminate streak out of him………as a child. This has bothered me for many many years as it caused his parents terrible grief. Thank you.❤️
I wish I had the wisdom of Solomon to better answer your question. I believe God created male and female. Male chromosomes are XY Female chromosomes are XX The Human Body is a miracle within itself. Scripture says , we are fearfully and wonderfully made ( Psalm 139 ) I often refer back to Job when the burdens of this world weigh heavy on my mind . Job wanted to challenge God.... Remember ?

I Corinthians 6: 9-10 Know ye not that unrighteousness shall not inherit the kingdom of God nor effeminate ......... I think back to Cain and Abel Cain killed his brother Abel out of Jealousy. Where did that emotion come from ? God even warned Cain that Sin lieth at the door. I believe in generational curses. We are born in a sinful world. For one to believe that God made a male baby to be effeminate at birth is to blame God .... Life and sin starts in the womb. Mothers please speak life into your womb while carrying your child. The Devil roars about seeking whom to devour and last I heard babies are not off limits with the forces of Darkness. Mothers and Fathers protect your child at all cost and at every stage of their lives , especially in the womb. The Holy Spirit is a revealer of hidden things........ Trouble your heart no more And Mary don't you weep and tell Martha not to Mourn ! Selah
I agree with Bishop's position because from a biblical perspective, he's being a faithful Steward who's been appointed and called to watch over the souls of the flock/sheep of God. So he's doing what the Word has commanded him to do! 💁🏽 Thank you Bishop for your faithfulness and obedience! And thank you for training/teaching ministers to rightly divide the Scriptures so as to honor and support your integrous position as their Pastor/Leader based on the truth of God's Word!❤️💯🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💯❤️
WOW. This is good. I'm really surprised I must say. Seems like many churches are giving in to this and NOT taking a stand. I really respect this pastor.
If you talk about the gay and lesbians, then you'd better be damned ready to talk about the amount of adultery and fornication that goes on at these mega convocations because of the crowds, no one knows who is doing what. This also goes on in the the ecclesiastical order of the church.
I definitely agree w-Bishop Wooden & thank God for the Elder Rayford who took care of it behind the scenes. The standards have been lowered & that’s why so many are comfortable attending church & remaining in the same old sinful lifestyle instead of living the as new creature Christ died for. (2 Cor.5:17)
I absolutely agree with his stance regarding not just homosexuality, because, like everything else, in regard to sexual immorality is a sin. But I’m also tired of seeing women who belong to churches going up in the church pregnant with baby after baby and they’re not married, and nobody says anything; and not only that having the nerve to give them a baby shower, or attend their baby shower, men who belong to a church, who have all these baby mamas, some of them in the church they’re going to, and nobody saying nothing, and people who are in church, obese, and even morbidly obese, thus practicing gluttony, and nobody saying nothing!! let’s take a stance against all sin that we may grow, it’s not about judging each other. it’s about growing in the grace, and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop allowing the devil to put us to sleep about one sin, but our eyes are fixed fixated on another!!
They do say stuff to us. We get sat down and talked down on. The fathers continue to operate in ministry and make more babies. I was engaged to another PK. He’s made about five kids since my son.
Exactly but you won't hear not one word about any of that. Pastors/preachers, church folks, which I am.... we love to pick out sins we want to rail against as you so correctly stated it's all WRONG, it's all SIN, we all SINNERS..... Bishop Wooden included!
As a same gender loving man who loves the Lord. I made the choice to live celibate years ago because I cannot reconcile scripture to the lifestyle. Loving a man and having sex with a man is NOT synonymous; If you ask me about marriage my answer is and always will be ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, I don't care what LGBTQ says. I am masculine and I love being a man. I don't understand why I am the way that I am, I knew this about myself from a young lad and I was never molested. I'm a former veteran from the army. My place of abode is totally masculine. I don't know nor understand why so many gay men are effeminate, many have been raised by single women, surrounded by her girlfriends, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers that they acquire that effeminate behavior. Totally void of strong masculine men in their lives to model after. I've never seen a gay man wake up in the morning as a totally lusting heterosexual. You can't pray the gay away but you don't have to be part of that lifestyle. That just happens to be my own personal thorn in the flesh. The worst thing the Black church can do is push these men into a marriage that often ends in disaster. People have tried to push me into a marriage and I would never put that part of myself onto a woman. She deserves to be loved the way a heterosexual man can provide.
I appreciate your honesty. You know there are many reasons why humanity has an aversion to God’s plan. Being born in sin creates an opportunity for perversion to rise in our lives. There are other gateways like generational perversion ( demons vex families), masturbation (same sex pleasuring), pornography (same sex mirror images), lack of relationship with male and longing for connection, and mistreatment by women or overfamiliar with the woman mindset or behavior. The enemy walked in after the garden fall and now creeps in through psychological and other opportunities. There’s a book called, “It Didn’t Start With Me.” It explains epigenetics. May the God who saves and delivers show you his power and give you information (truth) to withstand the deceiver and liar. 🙏🏽
U can pray the gay away.. Roman 12:2 says that by transformed by the renewal of your mind. You are not born again… You need to be born again like Jesus said to Nicodemus.. You are oppressed by the demon called asherah.. you are set free in Jesus name
@@slimdude2011 I said oppressed not possessed … He is and needs to repent and born again… the bible said let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable unto God.. if he is thinking gayness in his mind, he is sinning because the demon asherah is oppressing him but he can set free now if he surrenders totally to God
@@leavemealone7935 I know what you said, and he doesn't have this asherah demon (whoever that is) that you're talking about. Do you walk up to everybody who has an issue, and tell them they have a demon?
Amen! Well spoken. More Churches need to address this topic but They are afraid it will hurt their attendance, feelings, make people mad. But The Word of God does not compromise.
We need more pastors like you. Because you are going with the word of God. Say we do need more pastures to speak out on that wrong is wrong? If God said it 7 time in his wordseven times in his word, men are not to lay down with men AMEN AMEN AMEN
Amen again!,so i see less Amens so far than should,This man is one of the few preachers not afraid to preach the truth in spite of fundings to his church being lost etc..Alot of pastors will remain quiet because they have those very same people leading their choirs and worship team right now,and the people enjoy the way the choir sings with them leading them up there,because it still gains offerings which is all alot of them care about anyway.
Holiness is the right way,and we need to take a stand and follow holiness.We have to show our family members that God created male and female to complement each other on marriage ( man and woman). The natural order of God 's plan for marriage. All other combinations are unholy and ungodly. It's a sin before God!
Thank you Bishop wooden for taking that stand, it is a righteous one, no matter what people say, it is right God bless you sir I hope more pastor stand up for Righteousness.
Agree with xyz or not is not the question.God has standards and we should NEVER lower them so as to be socially and politically correct. I salute you, sir.Unique Bishop!.Remain relevant with God as you uphold HIS unalloyed truth.
Hell is getting bigger by the day wake-up people before it's to late repent an seek God almighty before it to late repent an seek God almighty before it to late repent
I agree with the sister that said all sin is wrong. Men fornicating , men messing of on their wives and sin in general. Let’s get it all. No sin is greater than the other. And no, I’m not gay. But we must not give other’s a pass.
@@mrs.dillard3860 sin is sin. Either you are right or wrong. Too know you are doing wrong is sin, dress it up all you want. Now somethings are a abominations. Men with men, or women with women and so on. But it’s still sin.
Certain t sin was punishable by death. Some by being cast out, etc, etc. This doesn’t mean some sin is okay and some aren't - this just means it's levels to this thing.
This happened recently....a male who had a high pitched voice wanted to take hormones to deepen his voice...God doesn't look at the outward appearance but the ❤
@lannrrd1309 You're asking me a ridiculous question. If you simply read scripture and understand it you'd see him for what he is. But, if you're into his style of "ministry", then do you.
*_YES!!!!!_* To God be the Glory!!!! The Bishop is absolutely right, because *HOLINESS IS RIGHT!!!* And his excellent Minister of Music handled it right. So in this, God was pleased!!!!
Preach Bishop! That’s my Pastor and I’m proud of it and him! Live according to the Word of God! No practicing homosexual or effeminate man or a woman who acts like a man, or any fornicator, should have a position in the House of God! Be ye holy, because Christ is holy!
Bishop you will forever be in my prayers!! You're an example of Holiness!! Every leader (myself included) will give an account. Keep shouting loud and sparing not - lift up your voice like a trumpet in Zion!! You have Heaven's backing!!
Yes, I agree not just with Bishop Wooden; I agree with the Word of God that says to put a difference between Holy and unholy, between clean and unclean. Some things have to remain holy in the Church. We are responsible for upholding the standards no matter who disagrees. The world will always disagree with the standards of the Word of God, but we are a peculiar people, a holy people called forth to show the praises and the standards of God. How else will the world know the difference?
I applaud the stance of The Upper Room Church and Bishop Wooden!! Hats off to you. It is time we stop looking the other way acting as if we don’t see this infiltration.
@@ceddagr8 I would never collaborate with an organization that rejects the idea that Jesus was God in the flesh and maintains that America is the location of the Garden of Eden. But that’s me…I take my walk with God very seriously!
Thank you Pastor for standing true to the word of God. We truly seem to be walking in the last days. where wrong is right and right is wrong. I pray to stay on Gods side and I pray that for you and your congregation. God bless
My Bishop did that years ago and although it took a while to get praise and worship together, he didn’t hesitate. And Noel Jones in LA needs to take notes.
I stand with the truth of God's word. Any person indulging in known sin and not practicing holy living should not be serving in leadership positions in the church. 1 Peter 1:16. God bless you Bishop Wooden for your boldness and uncompromising faith!
"We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." - James Baldwin

Know ye not that unrighteousness shall not inherit the kingdom of God nor effeminate .........
I think back to Cain and Abel
Cain killed his brother Abel out of Jealousy.
Where did that emotion come from ?
God even warned Cain that Sin lieth at the door.
I believe in generational curses.
We are born in a sinful world.
For one to believe that God made a male baby to be effeminate at birth is to blame God ....
Life and sin starts in the womb.
Mothers please speak life into your womb while carrying your child.
The Devil roars about seeking whom to devour and last I heard babies are not off limits with the forces of Darkness.
Mothers and Fathers protect your child at all cost and at every stage of their lives , especially in the womb.
The Holy Spirit is a revealer of hidden things........
Trouble your heart no more
And Mary don't you weep and tell Martha not to Mourn !

@@judahthechosen8025 Sigh…….Thank you for trying, Judah. All I DO know for sure is that he wasn’t BORN that way. It was a choice.❤️
I agree with Bishop's position because from a biblical perspective, he's being a faithful Steward who's been appointed and called to watch over the souls of the flock/sheep of God. So he's doing what the Word has commanded him to do! 💁🏽 Thank you Bishop for your faithfulness and obedience! And thank you for training/teaching ministers to rightly divide the Scriptures so as to honor and support your integrous position as their Pastor/Leader based on the truth of God's Word!❤️💯🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💯❤️
WOW. This is good. I'm really surprised I must say. Seems like many churches are giving in to this and NOT taking a stand. I really respect this pastor.
Sounds like a Presiding Bishop.I am so tired of Pentecostal pastors and preachers compromising the Standards.
He should be running the C.O.G.I.C.
If you talk about the gay and lesbians, then you'd better be damned ready to talk about the amount of adultery and fornication that goes on at these mega convocations because of the crowds, no one knows who is doing what. This also goes on in the the ecclesiastical order of the church.
Is it only Pentecostal churches?
Amen
Thank you so much never back down on the truth. I hope other pastors will see this and do the same thing. Thank you man of God.
I totally agree with this man of God; thank you for standing on the infallible Word of God.
Amen, Pastor. You are 100% correct. Keep up the good work, staying true to God's word.
I definitely agree w-Bishop Wooden & thank God for the Elder Rayford who took care of it behind the scenes. The standards have been lowered & that’s why so many are comfortable attending church & remaining in the same old sinful lifestyle instead of living the as new creature Christ died for. (2 Cor.5:17)
I LOVE EVERYTHING about this! Handled with such compassion. THIS is how the saints should respond 🙌🏾💯 Keep standing for RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Say what you want...God is proud of Bishop upholding the truth💯
My sister in Christ, God always says He is pleased, NEVER proud.
Pride was born in the very mindset of the enemy.

I absolutely agree with his stance regarding not just homosexuality, because, like everything else, in regard to sexual immorality is a sin. But I’m also tired of seeing women who belong to churches going up in the church pregnant with baby after baby and they’re not married, and nobody says anything; and not only that having the nerve to give them a baby shower, or attend their baby shower, men who belong to a church, who have all these baby mamas, some of them in the church they’re going to, and nobody saying nothing, and people who are in church, obese, and even morbidly obese, thus practicing gluttony, and nobody saying nothing!! let’s take a stance against all sin that we may grow, it’s not about judging each other. it’s about growing in the grace, and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop allowing the devil to put us to sleep about one sin, but our eyes are fixed fixated on another!!
Well spoken
They do say stuff to us. We get sat down and talked down on. The fathers continue to operate in ministry and make more babies. I was engaged to another PK. He’s made about five kids since my son.
Exactly but you won't hear not one word about any of that. Pastors/preachers, church folks, which I am.... we love to pick out sins we want to rail against as you so correctly stated it's all WRONG, it's all SIN, we all SINNERS..... Bishop Wooden included!
@@jecoliasjems2529 wow!!!
@@robertbaldwin2792 yes sir!!
Amen!! Bishop stay with God word Glory Hallelujah
As a same gender loving man who loves the Lord. I made the choice to live celibate years ago because I cannot reconcile scripture to the lifestyle. Loving a man and having sex with a man is NOT synonymous; If you ask me about marriage my answer is and always will be ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, I don't care what LGBTQ says. I am masculine and I love being a man. I don't understand why I am the way that I am, I knew this about myself from a young lad and I was never molested. I'm a former veteran from the army. My place of abode is totally masculine. I don't know nor understand why so many gay men are effeminate, many have been raised by single women, surrounded by her girlfriends, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers that they acquire that effeminate behavior. Totally void of strong masculine men in their lives to model after. I've never seen a gay man wake up in the morning as a totally lusting heterosexual. You can't pray the gay away but you don't have to be part of that lifestyle. That just happens to be my own personal thorn in the flesh. The worst thing the Black church can do is push these men into a marriage that often ends in disaster. People have tried to push me into a marriage and I would never put that part of myself onto a woman. She deserves to be loved the way a heterosexual man can provide.
I appreciate your honesty. You know there are many reasons why humanity has an aversion to God’s plan. Being born in sin creates an opportunity for perversion to rise in our lives. There are other gateways like generational perversion ( demons vex families), masturbation (same sex pleasuring), pornography (same sex mirror images), lack of relationship with male and longing for connection, and mistreatment by women or overfamiliar with the woman mindset or behavior. The enemy walked in after the garden fall and now creeps in through psychological and other opportunities. There’s a book called, “It Didn’t Start With Me.” It explains epigenetics. May the God who saves and delivers show you his power and give you information (truth) to withstand the deceiver and liar. 🙏🏽
U can pray the gay away.. Roman 12:2 says that by transformed by the renewal of your mind. You are not born again… You need to be born again like Jesus said to Nicodemus.. You are oppressed by the demon called asherah.. you are set free in Jesus name
@@leavemealone7935 No, he's not oppressed by a demon. It's because we are born with a sin nature.
@@slimdude2011 I said oppressed not possessed … He is and needs to repent and born again… the bible said let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable unto God.. if he is thinking gayness in his mind, he is sinning because the demon asherah is oppressing him but he can set free now if he surrenders totally to God
@@leavemealone7935 I know what you said, and he doesn't have this asherah demon (whoever that is) that you're talking about. Do you walk up to everybody who has an issue, and tell them they have a demon?
The TRUTH is the TRUTH! I agree with you Bishop speaking GOD'S TRUTH.
Amen! Well spoken. More Churches need to address this topic but They are afraid it will hurt their attendance, feelings, make people mad. But The Word of God does not compromise.
Yes I agree and it was tastefully done. Well done thou good and faithful servants!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Guilty people proclaim innocence louder than innocent ones do. It is called lying!😮 Self deception is a deterrent to truth !😮
So true Bishop keep standing for the Truth!!
We need more pastors like you. Because you are going with the word of God. Say we do need more pastures to speak out on that wrong is wrong? If God said it 7 time in his wordseven times in his word, men are not to lay down with men AMEN AMEN AMEN
Amen again!,so i see less Amens so far than should,This man is one of the few preachers not afraid to preach the truth in spite of fundings to his church being lost etc..Alot of pastors will remain quiet because they have those very same people leading their choirs and worship team right now,and the people enjoy the way the choir sings with them leading them up there,because it still gains offerings which is all alot of them care about anyway.
It certainly is a disgrace! I appreciate true Men and Women of God who's still standing on the True Holiness!!!
Holiness is the right way,and we need to take a stand and follow holiness.We have to show our family members that God created male and female to complement each other on marriage ( man and woman). The natural order of God 's plan for marriage. All other combinations are unholy and ungodly. It's a sin before God!
Thank you Bishop wooden for taking that stand, it is a righteous one, no matter what people say, it is right God bless you sir I hope more pastor stand up for Righteousness.
This is a true man of God.
Keep fighting the good fight of faith, pastor. You are absolutely right. No unsaved person should be leading any part of God's service......PERIOD!!!!
Man speak the word my brother
Agree with xyz or not is not the question.God has standards and we should NEVER lower them so as to be socially and politically correct.
I salute you, sir.Unique Bishop!.Remain relevant with God as you uphold HIS unalloyed truth.
Hell is getting bigger by the day wake-up people before it's to late repent an seek God almighty before it to late repent an seek God almighty before it to late repent
I agree with the sister that said all sin is wrong. Men fornicating , men messing of on their wives and sin in general. Let’s get it all. No sin is greater than the other. And no, I’m not gay. But we must not give other’s a pass.
All sins are not equal. God destroyed certain nations due to specific sins.
@@mrs.dillard3860 sin is sin. Either you are right or wrong. Too know you are doing wrong is sin, dress it up all you want. Now somethings are a abominations. Men with men, or women with women and so on. But it’s still sin.
@@mrs.dillard3860where does the Bible say that? The Educational level has really decreased in this nation.
You're kidding right? If this ain't a case of "tell me you haven't read the bible without telling me you haven't read the bible"......@KCal1213
Certain t
sin was punishable by death. Some by being cast out, etc, etc. This doesn’t mean some sin is okay and some aren't - this just means it's levels to this thing.
Yesss! Need more “men of God” like Pastor here! 😮💨🔥🙏🏾
Thank you for standing up for the word of GOD. We need more pastors to stand up for right living.
The man is speaking sense.
Yes, because that spirit can be passed on to others.
IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK AND QUAKES LIKE A DUCK, THEN IT IS A DUCK..

@@mrfritzy5595 Thank You....
This happened recently....a male who had a high pitched voice wanted to take hormones to deepen his voice...God doesn't look at the outward appearance but the ❤
Anyone in any situation should be allowed to go to church. But to hold any leadership positions that person should be Truly Saved!!!!
Finally, I can listen to someone with courage. Compared to this, jakes' sermons are nothing but poison.
Jakes has long been evil.
Do you know him personally?
@lannrrd1309 You're asking me a ridiculous question. If you simply read scripture and understand it you'd see him for what he is. But, if you're into his style of "ministry", then do you.
I love Bishop Wooden! He denouncing sin and sounds the alarm! God bless you Bishop 🙏🏾
Yes I agree with Bishop Wooten
God bless you Bishop and church!!! Stand for righteousness! Stand for Holiness!!!
*_YES!!!!!_* To God be the Glory!!!! The Bishop is absolutely right, because *HOLINESS IS RIGHT!!!* And his excellent Minister of Music handled it right. So in this, God was pleased!!!!
Yes my brother! 1 Corinthians 16:13 command’s us to act like men and to be strong. There is no place in ministry for a practicing homosexual.
I hope these words apply to all sin and not just one sin. Too many times we overlook other things while we make some things bigger…
Sin is sin but some sins take over.
Preach Bishop! That’s my Pastor and I’m proud of it and him! Live according to the Word of God! No practicing homosexual or effeminate man or a woman who acts like a man, or any fornicator, should have a position in the House of God! Be ye holy, because Christ is holy!
Absolutely! The Bishop is RIGHT ✅️
Bishop you will forever be in my prayers!! You're an example of Holiness!! Every leader (myself included) will give an account. Keep shouting loud and sparing not - lift up your voice like a trumpet in Zion!! You have Heaven's backing!!
Yes, I agree not just with Bishop Wooden; I agree with the Word of God that says to put a difference between Holy and unholy, between clean and unclean. Some things have to remain holy in the Church. We are responsible for upholding the standards no matter who disagrees. The world will always disagree with the standards of the Word of God, but we are a peculiar people, a holy people called forth to show the praises and the standards of God. How else will the world know the difference?
Amen. Stand 10 toes down for our Father’s BUSINESS!!!!
I agree with the Pastor. It's the word of God.
He said outta his own mouth its they own Doctrine, can't be found in the Word of God. Period
Amen Bishop wooten, we thank you for word of God. Preaching the word of God in season and out of season. To God be the Glory!! 🙏
Totally agree!!!
I applaud the stance of The Upper Room Church and Bishop Wooden!! Hats off to you. It is time we stop looking the other way acting as if we don’t see this infiltration.
This man needs to be presiding bishop.
Bishop Sheard speaks with a similar breath. You're in good hands. 😏
@@ceddagr8The same bishop who was partnering with Mormons?
@blazee3895 Find any man without faults. Let's start with you, and I then point fingers thereafter. We might not get too far, but I digress.
@@ceddagr8 I would never collaborate with an organization that rejects the idea that Jesus was God in the flesh and maintains that America is the location of the Garden of Eden. But that’s me…I take my walk with God very seriously!
@@blazee3895 Cast a stone when you're without fault. You may not do that, yet you have a sin filled resumé.
This is extremely very good, we must stand for truth,it doesn't matter what the world is screaming to the ears of the church. Thank your Bishop
No place in the church for that and I agree and all churches should act in this way.
Amen, thank God for pastors who stand for the truth! God bless him
Talk while I’m LISTENING, Sir!🙌🏾
This. Right here. Is how a Shepherd watches over his flock. Y'all better keep this man as your Pastor and make sure he's taken care of.
TALK ABOUT IT BISHOP!!
Bishop you're most definitely right about what you're saying, I totally stand in agreement with you.
Yessss, I agree with the Bishop!!!!
Thank you for having a standard GOD BLESS YOU and your ministry a old quote stand for something or fall for anything
We need more pastors like him. It suppose to be a standard.
Thank you Pastor for standing true to the word of God. We truly seem to be walking in the last days. where wrong is right and right is wrong. I pray to stay on Gods side and I pray that for you and your congregation. God bless
Amen Bishop Wooden! I AGREE WITH BISHOP WOODEN💯💯💯
Most Black males are effeminate. Black women are so desperate for Black males that they even hook up with effeminate Black males. TBT
Compromise won't save anyone from GOD's judgment. Compromise is hate. Standing on GOD's Word and moral absolutes is agape love.
My Bishop did that years ago and although it took a while to get praise and worship together, he didn’t hesitate. And Noel Jones in LA needs to take notes.
Danggggg, I know who.
❤ this great black leader
For standing up for what is
Right!
Dr.tyrone of Chester PA
GOD bless this Pastor for speaking the truth.
I stand with the truth of God's word. Any person indulging in known sin and not practicing holy living should not be serving in leadership positions in the church. 1 Peter 1:16. God bless you Bishop Wooden for your boldness and uncompromising faith!
