True, he has a testimony as everyone of God's children has but we cannot go against God's standards. If you know God you WILL have a testimony. Him being on the platform to preach to young impressionable minds when his life choices go clearly against God's standards is not right. He and his wife are very visible and everything they do is in the public domain. This is not judging but standing for what is right. Today the media is going crazy with the story of their divorce and if this gets ugly the beautiful testimony will be tarnished and the message lost. That being said, I think they are both wonderful people, let us continue to pray for them.
We forget that we all have different paths/roads/journeys that we ask God to prepares us for when our hearts are into it. This man is no different. Lets not judge a person whose life is on display because our own lives are in closets. I commend him for his efforts. I don't care what pedestal you dwell on, when Gods work needs to be done, if your heart is so willing, you will do it. You cannot knock a man for his efforts. #leadbyexample
Why must we criticize and judge people so much? These are the very things that is going to send some of us straight to hell. I am an Adventist and it is this kinda judgmental behavior why I hardly ever go to church. We walk around with the church manual in our heads and hearts every blessed day and use it to tear other people down. FOR GOD'S SAKE GOD IS STILL WORKING ON SOME OF US JUST LIKE HOW HE IS STILL WORKING ON YOU. Devon did a good job....y'all need to let him breathe b4 it is too late.
Praise the Lord! God will bring his people from all parts of society and he will use his people in all parts of society, even if some "saints" can't handle that!
God will bring his people from everywhere since he is no respecter of persons but God's people will represent him and not the world. Daniel and Joseph were used by God. Esther was married to a pagan king. They all had this in common, they represented God in deed/walk and word.
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight” (1 Peter 3:3-5). Paul also talks about it in Timothy 2:9-10. They are saying that the outer appearance should not be the focus of beauty, instead the inner heart should be the main object of focus. God sees true beauty in the heart---
The way people comment here. So harsh. I mean we tend to forget that we are not the measuring rod of others. Instead of bashing everything you see in others that you don't struggle with personally, work on ur own issues. Being super-harsh does not look very Christlike to those out there reading these comments. Jesus rebuked sin but He didn't bring people down unjustly nor insult them unjustly
@masterREM3000 Let me ask you something... what part of " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" Wasn't understood? I didn't see Abraham judge those people. I didn't see Jesus judge them... in fact he was eating with them and the Pharisees were pointing fingers talking about "How could he defile himself." Just something for you to think about.
I got respect for the brother because if GOD would have said that in the new testament, he at least shows he's serious about it. But GOD did change that commandment. "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days" Colossians 2:16
However, if the temptation isn't too great for DeVon, and God called him to do a special work who are we to say that God doesn't have him there? I'm not saying that DeVon is perfect, but the man seems righteous which is far more important. He may not live the way you would, but to say God can't use DeVon as a tool for ministry is a bit absurd. God is much bigger than sin. He's bigger than the expectation we have, and greater than our fears. Have a little faith.
*****I agree who are we to try and know the works of God. God can not be mocked and if he is in Hollywood it is for the good pleasure of the Lord. We don't know why they are there. May our God of peace bless and keep them.
I lead with this, "Go ye out into the world ... teach them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and see, I am with you always (Matthew 28:19-20). What is the point of being The Body of Christ if we don't even go into the dark and arid places and radiate the light of God? No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light (Luke 11:33).
1 John 2:15-17 King James Version (KJV) 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
I don't understand why some of yall care so much about her wearing jewelry I mean if yall are supposedly followers of the most high why are you judging people on what she has on or what she does get off yall high horse
Loven Chan Listen I'm not one to judge anyone on what they wear thats just something she is ganna have to take up with the creator and honestly yall need to stop judging people whether they are seventh day Adventist or not
I still have a a lot of weaknesses and things god is working on in my spirit and I have my own sins to sort out and god has helping me along my walk. but what people don't know is that Meagan Good is a man, she is a transgender. The other thing is that the female celebrities are not women, they are men and the men are actually female to men transgender. It is what they promote and you have to change gender body o accept homosexuality in order to get fame and money. you need watch transvestigation many are doing this. Once you go to Hollywood, you have to renounce your faith In Jesus, the only god and saviour. Mr e transvestigation did research on it's history and it's starts from Babylon, even King solomon has transgender wives. (they were called man whores-men whom dressed like women back then).
The point you missed is Lot did not go to Sodom because God told Him to....Lot went because He saw things more convenient for Him. Lot did not want to leave Sodom, and it was because of his influence, His wife was lost
What is the point in being a SDA in hollywood, if the movies that you produce still reflect the world....? Proud that hes doing his thing, but it doesnt make sense to me
We just need to be more welcoming to people in General, I hear your point. As a pastor and Leader, I expect more, but I don't know what God has called this man to do, Lets welcome Meagan, this is the nasty attitudes, that will empty the pews, and hand souls to the satan, when we should be winning should for Christ. Yes we must have order, But lets put Love,Kindness,Clean Hearts on that list also,no makeup, no jewelry, no meat and a wicked heart is not cool either, we all need change
Correction, to my previous comment---I guess DeVon is a Pastor at a Seventh-day Adventist Church???? I know, I would not attend it if this is true. But when you get down to the truth of the matter, one should not be looking at man, "....who is born into sin and shaped in iniquity..." we should be looking to Christ. For in the last days, these things and things that will be worst than this, are coming to the Church, and if we get hung up on these things and take our eyes off of the Christ, than we are lost. So, let us be as the 5 wise ones who had extra oil for their lamps so when the Bride-groom comes, The Lord, we will be ready and be able to enter into Heaven.
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
God can change anyone. Some of the comments that some of you christians made, oh my. What have you left the unsaved to say. That is why so many people don't go to church. All because of you.
Sometimes what we want isn't what is always best for us. God knows what is best for us. He usually gives us the best person He has designed for us. We Christians need to check ourselves and be the best we can be. STOP attacking your brothers and sisters in public and IF we see someone doing wrong PLEASE CORRECT in LOVE. I am so disappointed in some comments.
Jesus was wrapped up in swaddling clothes soon after His birth in a barn. Everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them. Our body is sacred. We’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and we should be covered too.
that's how I glorify God daily. To assume he's not glorifying God in his work is farfetched. He's producing these movies not writing or directing them. Maybe he'll get to a point where he exclusively produces for directors and writers who are Christians, but who would he ministering to through interaction then? Also, He isn't going into Sodom and Gomorrah. The time that we are living in is a direct reflection of Sodom and Gomorrah, it's inescapable - "In the world not of the world" remember?
I will pray for all of you hypocrites! Why do t you take the style out of your own eyes before casting your stones. You are so quick to judge and others instead of looking deep into your own hearts. I believe Mr. Franklin has been called to places you may never be called to go!. And that is okay that is why he is we're he is and you are where you are. I will pray for him and his ministry and let the spirit continue to lead him and use him in powerful ways!
(CONT.): Step out from the four corner building and make change in the earth. We are not content with just going to an enclosed structure every Sunday, preaching to one another over and over again. Go to the streets, be unashamed of the gospel in the market place, even in the dark places. Let Ephesians 6:12 know that "the Earth is the Lord's and all that dwells therein... (Psalm 24)."
You're absolutely right! The problem with it is that God is not leading, but He is following. Its a shame that he's spreading this kind of thinking to these students. Check out my channel for a video about this and the analysis.
Look at these hypocrites praising Hollywood I’m glad I now know the truth and it’s not adventism It’s reading the scriptures and knowing God for yourself
there comes a time when all will recognize , just like the 5 foolish virgins, that the oil they have is just not enough ,if they were following "Gods Plan" they would have been ready, pray for them , that they both will be truly converted
That's not a logical argument. The Lord was merciful enough to rescue Lot's family from destruction. His own righteousness made that possible. So if DeVon can minister to someone in Hollywood and introduce people to Christ why be so strongly opposed? If only more people would take the time to love and nurture these celebrities, and show them that the Law of God grants eternal life maybe Hollywood would be a better place.
Look at them barely clapping and being all judgmental. We should all be ashamed of ourselves. For ALL have sinned and fallen short... even those of you who are pointing fingers at him. Humble yourselves before God and Let HIM have the last say!
Your right do not lower standards.... but does change happen over night. And being in the church, what does that really mean. We need to be the church, in every way. Not by attendance, boards,positions or titles. Yes we must work, their is plenty for all. But we sometimes get so caught up in ourselves, our schools, camp meetings, General Conference, I think we should up Christ in all things, But know Adventism is not our saving grace, Jesus is. A pastor should be held responsible , your right
I sure hate that Oprah is acting brand new just to get an interview rolling! She has several Adventist friends who are high profile in society, Devon is not the 1st to be in this category.
I agree with you, but I disagree with you as well. I think you're being too literal. God did send Jonah to warn the people, but Jonah's attitude seems to be a lot like yours right now. He didn't think that the people of Nineveh deserved a second chance, and he tried to refuse God's will. Moreover, it's true that if you place yourself within the danger of your own personal temptation that you may sin.
Exactly! its easy to DOOM artist and actors and actresses to hell without even trying to help them. So...If no person is in a place full of evil to tell about GODS LOVE who will? Most people are too scared to even try to speak with an actor or etc. Most times "WE" criticise but ddont form solutions to bring Gods Children to heaven. LET OUR LIVES AS CHRISTIANS SHINE. We are messengers for GOD to go EVERYWHERE... Not just inside the church
Well first your are assuming, from nothing, that i believe these ppl don't deserve a second chance. that is not the case at all. I am only trying to say that the Bible (or God) does not lead us to minister to people the way Devon is. there is no example other than what can go wrong. Besides that we are to glorify God in all we do, not just the Sabbath. The Movies he produces don't at all, its the opposite, and its where he can have the most influence, but no... whats kind of ministry is that?
I agree on the surface.... the look of things is very confusing. But that's thing that cause me to pause during my"inspection" because GOD will work with that,on that , and through that. Now I'm not one for the hype of that catches many, but i pray for this young couple, because it must be hard having so many people on you. Now how can we tell the world about Jesus, but be so mean. Yes i say happy sabbath, but do i really care, why am i watching your clothes and hair, and instead of focused ..
Ok i hear you, i respectfully disagree and you didnt offend me. And of course we can interact with other ppl, its really just the work environment, mentality, and what paid work you do that I don't see as good in Hollywood. You Don't have to work there to reach ppl. i.e. Angus Jones. but anyway i was just sharing what i believe and see from the Bible.
No that is not true, clearly I am not SDA, I don't believe in a day or a bunch of rules, I believe and rest in Jesus Christ. Every denomination has different beliefs but you need to put things in its context.

but it does not mean you cant wear jewelry, just not to make these things your focus. Anything that will distract your focus from showing the love of Christ and growing in Christ is wrong. Jewelry is vain, it is temporal but Jesus is true beauty and eternal. He should be the object of our beauty shown from the inside out but it does not mean you should not wear jewelry or braid your hair.
I thought we are to come [out] of Babylon not go into it and take not part in their sinful works. We don't have to join in with them to gain their favor. Jesus didn't do that. You don't see an instance in the bible where God sent his ppl or messengers to live with, work with, play with, and minister to the Lost cities. No not Lot, he went of own desires and lost it all but his two daughters. and not even Jonah right? he was sent to warn the ppl then left.
All this uproar within the body of Christ is not good, because of the this the world will just see confusion among you badventists. Where is the love??
Wolves in sheep clothing. Nothing they did honoured GOD. leading Christians astray. No whining Devon! Now they turned comments off where Devon defended his wife's improper clothing.
Also God has never called any of his people into these wicked cities. They were taken there by force or by unfortunate circumstances and then God used them in Wonderful ways. FYI Jonah was called to Nieveh To warn them people to repent their wicked ways or face destruction, not to entertain them with movies about martial arts(karate Kid) or see a sob story about success without God (pursuit of Happiness) and etc. You say are a Christian, then make truth telling clean Christian Movies.
Lot had the choice to move out of Sodom. Why didn't he? Cause he liked the people's ways & wanted to be like them? No. That's why Lot & his family were spared. They were in the world but not OF it. Why do you people act as though it is impossible to be in Hollywood & not of it??? Even in Hollywood, you have the choice of which movie to associate yourself w/. Are all movies of the devil now? Is that what we're trying to discuss? Okay. Then, let's switch to the banking industry topic...
It was only Lot and just 2 of his Daughters that made it out. He lost everything else. see {Gen 19:4-29}. "Dazzled with the visions of Worldy gain, Lot and overlooked the moral and Spiritual Evils that would would be encountered there(Sodom)"... How little did he foresee the terrible results of that selfish choice! see (PP133) {gen 13:10-13}. We can learn from Lot's mistake but many chose not to because they think they can do it right or better.
When I see this video, I do not see a peculiar people as the Bible states we should be. I see the world ----- nothing different from the Sunday House Choirs. I am afraid that we as a church --especially the African American Church, have strayed from our 1st Love. DeVon went against the word of God by marrying a Non-believer. You see when you sleep with the devil, the devil keeps you asleep. DeVon only told Oprah that he was "raised as a 7th Day Adventist" --He never said he was a 7th Day Adventist. Accordingly, you will not find his membership at any 7th Day Adventist Church, so again, the Devil is keeping this man asleep, next to his beautiful and successful wife. I hope Heaven was worth it, Devon...........
Devon is not a pastor. He attends and is a member of the Mt. Rubidoux SDA Church. MY home boy and class mate is the youth pastor there. He told me he and Meagon are members.
Wait tithing?! Why tithing? Mal 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, How have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings." How would the Church grow & spread the Gospel except if the Church faithfully pay back 10% of the 100% that doesn't belong to them in the first place? Then you wonder why Bobo Shanti & BHI is so stuck in a rut. Look, the the Hebrew Israelites whom you claim was commanded to give 10% that the Priest be able to fulfill their duties. STOP ROB YOUR GOD!
I'm sorry to offend you. How does the Bible say we are not to minister to people in this way? Jesus ministered and befriended prostitues, tax collectors, lepers, and basically anyone who nobody loved or wanted. As far as glorifying God is concerned, the man professed his faith in God through Jesus Christ for the world to see, that's a big deal. I'm a cashier in a grocery store, I don't sell Bibles, and I don't give sermons, but I try to treat people the way Christ would treat people...
proud of megan but they need to no they are hebrew israelites that who they are sda is right about the sabbat but need to give up hoildays, ,those crosses and tithing
Am SDA and proud to watch this. His testimony bears it all. Those of you critical of this I'll ask you a question " what's your testimony?
True, he has a testimony as everyone of God's children has but we cannot go against God's standards. If you know God you WILL have a testimony. Him being on the platform to preach to young impressionable minds when his life choices go clearly against God's standards is not right. He and his wife are very visible and everything they do is in the public domain. This is not judging but standing for what is right.

What about the people who would never "go to church"? We need to reach out to them too.
Pray for this brother, he is still blind...
Praise the Lord! God will bring his people from all parts of society and he will use his people in all parts of society, even if some "saints" can't handle that!
God will bring his people from everywhere since he is no respecter of persons but God's people will represent him and not the world. Daniel and Joseph were used by God. Esther was married to a pagan king. They all had this in common, they represented God in deed/walk and word.
God i love them, just pure inspiration!
Women Please remember we choose the men we decide to marry. Be sober and vigilant.

I can tell you I just know everyone was trying to get to the front row, when normally it's empty. I guess that's in most churches though.
2blessed2Bstressed89 no no no...I was a member at this church in Huntsville and this church is always packed, on of the biggest congregations there.
I can't understand it. I would like to hear him preach as an SDA pastor. What does he say about worldly things and dress code?
thanks for posting
To my knowledge he is not an ordained SDA Pastor but does speak at major SDA Events and preaches in churches as a guest speaker.
I got respect for the brother because if GOD would have said that in the new testament, he at least shows he's serious about it. But GOD did change that commandment.

SMH at these comments.Seventh Day Adventist's are some of the most judgmental people I've ever come across in life.
rebecca smith the truth is going to hurt whether you like it or not, SDAs is a protestant religion, thank you

I don't agree with the husband but I love the fact that he stood for his faith.

AMEN
i cant wait to meet her at campmeeting
umm i looked at the background and i see jewelries, are they really SDAs or nah
Liz 22 that’s not Oakwood’s choir
Lol do you think God hates jewelry. This sin is not the jewelry its the heart of the person
At least she is modestly dressed. Amen for that .

S/o to ma school
The Choir is from A&M University not Oakwood and sang more wonderfully.
This the guy imitating my older brother Brandon.
I thank God that he is my judge and not any of you!
God can change anyone. Some of the comments that some of you christians made, oh my. What have you left the unsaved to say. That is why so many people don't go to church. All because of you.
Who is he?
truth!
Thought SDA standards for choosing a wife was more in line with the bible.
Sometimes what we want isn't what is always best for us. God knows what is best for us. He usually gives us the best person He has designed for us. We Christians need to check ourselves and be the best we can be. STOP attacking your brothers and sisters in public and IF we see someone doing wrong PLEASE CORRECT in LOVE. I am so disappointed in some comments.
@@anitaclarke4125didn’t age well huh? So god set him up for divorce right or oh wait a minute he made his own decision and using gods name?
Jesus was wrapped up in swaddling clothes soon after His birth in a barn.
Everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them.
Our body is sacred. We’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and we should be covered too.
that's how I glorify God daily. To assume he's not glorifying God in his work is farfetched. He's producing these movies not writing or directing them. Maybe he'll get to a point where he exclusively produces for directors and writers who are Christians, but who would he ministering to through interaction then?
Also, He isn't going into Sodom and Gomorrah. The time that we are living in is a direct reflection of Sodom and Gomorrah, it's inescapable - "In the world not of the world" remember?
Good point
I will pray for all of you hypocrites! Why do t you take the style out of your own eyes before casting your stones. You are so quick to judge and others instead of looking deep into your own hearts. I believe Mr. Franklin has been called to places you may never be called to go!. And that is okay that is why he is we're he is and you are where you are. I will pray for him and his ministry and let the spirit continue to lead him and use him in powerful ways!
(CONT.): Step out from the four corner building and make change in the earth. We are not content with just going to an enclosed structure every Sunday, preaching to one another over and over again. Go to the streets, be unashamed of the gospel in the market place, even in the dark places. Let Ephesians 6:12 know that "the Earth is the Lord's and all that dwells therein... (Psalm 24)."
You're absolutely right! The problem with it is that God is not leading, but He is following. Its a shame that he's spreading this kind of thinking to these students. Check out my channel for a video about this and the analysis.
all eyes on meagan
Look at these hypocrites praising Hollywood
I’m glad I now know the truth and it’s not adventism
It’s reading the scriptures and knowing God for yourself
This is soooooo sad. Wow!
there comes a time when all will recognize , just like the 5 foolish virgins, that the oil they have is just not enough ,if they were following "Gods Plan" they would have been ready, pray for them , that they both will be truly converted
Have mercy!! If this is not a sign of the last days..........
That's not a logical argument. The Lord was merciful enough to rescue Lot's family from destruction. His own righteousness made that possible. So if DeVon can minister to someone in Hollywood and introduce people to Christ why be so strongly opposed?
If only more people would take the time to love and nurture these celebrities, and show them that the Law of God grants eternal life maybe Hollywood would be a better place.
Look at them barely clapping and being all judgmental. We should all be ashamed of ourselves. For ALL have sinned and fallen short... even those of you who are pointing fingers at him. Humble yourselves before God and Let HIM have the last say!
Adventists dnt usually clap
We dnt show praises to man we show it to god
We may be the remnant church,but certainly not Gods last day church. All I see is compromise.
Your right do not lower standards.... but does change happen over night. And being in the church, what does that really mean. We need to be the church, in every way. Not by attendance, boards,positions or titles. Yes we must work, their is plenty for all. But we sometimes get so caught up in ourselves, our schools, camp meetings, General Conference, I think we should up Christ in all things, But know Adventism is not our saving grace, Jesus is. A pastor should be held responsible , your right
I sure hate that Oprah is acting brand new just to get an interview rolling! She has several Adventist friends who are high profile in society, Devon is not the 1st to be in this category.
everyone has there reasons and I'm sure he has thought have that too
I agree with you, but I disagree with you as well. I think you're being too literal. God did send Jonah to warn the people, but Jonah's attitude seems to be a lot like yours right now. He didn't think that the people of Nineveh deserved a second chance, and he tried to refuse God's will. Moreover, it's true that if you place yourself within the danger of your own personal temptation that you may sin.
thought so too but....
Is this Seventh-day Adventist?????????????
Lord give us that old time religion!
Lord have mercy!
A Preacher married to a secular, worldly woman starring in trashy Hollywood movies....what is wrong with that picture.
Exactly! its easy to DOOM artist and actors and actresses to hell without even trying to help them. So...If no person is in a place full of evil to tell about GODS LOVE who will? Most people are too scared to even try to speak with an actor or etc. Most times "WE" criticise but ddont form solutions to bring Gods Children to heaven. LET OUR LIVES AS CHRISTIANS SHINE. We are messengers for GOD to go EVERYWHERE... Not just inside the church
Well first your are assuming, from nothing, that i believe these ppl don't deserve a second chance. that is not the case at all. I am only trying to say that the Bible (or God) does not lead us to minister to people the way Devon is. there is no example other than what can go wrong. Besides that we are to glorify God in all we do, not just the Sabbath. The Movies he produces don't at all, its the opposite, and its where he can have the most influence, but no... whats kind of ministry is that?
I agree on the surface.... the look of things is very confusing. But that's thing that cause me to pause during my"inspection" because GOD will work with that,on that , and through that. Now I'm not one for the hype of that catches many, but i pray for this young couple, because it must be hard having so many people on you. Now how can we tell the world about Jesus, but be so mean. Yes i say happy sabbath, but do i really care, why am i watching your clothes and hair, and instead of focused ..
Ok i hear you, i respectfully disagree and you didnt offend me. And of course we can interact with other ppl, its really just the work environment, mentality, and what paid work you do that I don't see as good in Hollywood. You Don't have to work there to reach ppl. i.e. Angus Jones. but anyway i was just sharing what i believe and see from the Bible.
dont think devon is a pastor you know!
No that is not true, clearly I am not SDA, I don't believe in a day or a bunch of rules, I believe and rest in Jesus Christ. Every denomination has different beliefs but you need to put things in its context.
That's not fair!

but it does not mean you cant wear jewelry, just not to make these things your focus. Anything that will distract your focus from showing the love of Christ and growing in Christ is wrong. Jewelry is vain, it is temporal but Jesus is true beauty and eternal. He should be the object of our beauty shown from the inside out but it does not mean you should not wear jewelry or braid your hair.
I thought we are to come [out] of Babylon not go into it and take not part in their sinful works. We don't have to join in with them to gain their favor. Jesus didn't do that. You don't see an instance in the bible where God sent his ppl or messengers to live with, work with, play with, and minister to the Lost cities. No not Lot, he went of own desires and lost it all but his two daughters. and not even Jonah right? he was sent to warn the ppl then left.
This is nothing more the spiritualism.
Nice to see her without all the make up and jewellery!
All this uproar within the body of Christ is not good, because of the this the world will just see confusion among you badventists. Where is the love??
Wolves in sheep clothing. Nothing they did honoured GOD. leading Christians astray. No whining Devon! Now they turned comments off where Devon defended his wife's improper clothing.
Also God has never called any of his people into these wicked cities. They were taken there by force or by unfortunate circumstances and then God used them in Wonderful ways. FYI Jonah was called to Nieveh To warn them people to repent their wicked ways or face destruction, not to entertain them with movies about martial arts(karate Kid) or see a sob story about success without God (pursuit of Happiness) and etc. You say are a Christian, then make truth telling clean Christian Movies.
unfortunately the choir has all that on though smh...
Lot had the choice to move out of Sodom. Why didn't he? Cause he liked the people's ways & wanted to be like them? No. That's why Lot & his family were spared. They were in the world but not OF it. Why do you people act as though it is impossible to be in Hollywood & not of it??? Even in Hollywood, you have the choice of which movie to associate yourself w/. Are all movies of the devil now? Is that what we're trying to discuss? Okay. Then, let's switch to the banking industry topic...
It was only Lot and just 2 of his Daughters that made it out. He lost everything else. see {Gen 19:4-29}. "Dazzled with the visions of Worldy gain, Lot and overlooked the moral and Spiritual Evils that would would be encountered there(Sodom)"... How little did he foresee the terrible results of that selfish choice! see (PP133) {gen 13:10-13}. We can learn from Lot's mistake but many chose not to because they think they can do it right or better.
Mamma's dar but just like the ever changing black family in america daddy is M.I.A. And you don't have to be Advent to keep the Sabbath.
When I see this video, I do not see a peculiar people as the Bible states we should be. I see the world ----- nothing different from the Sunday House Choirs. I am afraid that we as a church --especially the African American Church, have strayed from our 1st Love. DeVon went against the word of God by marrying a Non-believer. You see when you sleep with the devil, the devil keeps you asleep. DeVon only told Oprah that he was "raised as a 7th Day Adventist" --He never said he was a 7th Day Adventist. Accordingly, you will not find his membership at any 7th Day Adventist Church, so again, the Devil is keeping this man asleep, next to his beautiful and successful wife. I hope Heaven was worth it, Devon...........
Devon is not a pastor. He attends and is a member of the Mt. Rubidoux SDA Church. MY home boy and class mate is the youth pastor there. He told me he and Meagon are members.
*sucks teeth* Buddy??!!! (or is this Buster?) What you do'n???
Saturday is not the seventh day sabbath. Hypocrites!!! Come out of Babylon.
Wait tithing?! Why tithing? Mal 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, How have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings." How would the Church grow & spread the Gospel except if the Church faithfully pay back 10% of the 100% that doesn't belong to them in the first place? Then you wonder why Bobo Shanti & BHI is so stuck in a rut. Look, the the Hebrew Israelites whom you claim was commanded to give 10% that the Priest be able to fulfill their duties. STOP ROB YOUR GOD!
esto no es adventista . andan por el mundo recojiendo costumbres del mundo .
My God can someone tell that organist to calm down. Way too much playing.
I'm sorry to offend you. How does the Bible say we are not to minister to people in this way?
Jesus ministered and befriended prostitues, tax collectors, lepers, and basically anyone who nobody loved or wanted.
As far as glorifying God is concerned, the man professed his faith in God through Jesus Christ for the world to see, that's a big deal. I'm a cashier in a grocery store, I don't sell Bibles, and I don't give sermons, but I try to treat people the way Christ would treat people...
proud of megan but they need to no they are hebrew israelites that who they are sda is right about the sabbat but need to give up hoildays, ,those crosses and tithing
so you're proud of something that doesn't make sense...? That doesn't make sense. Keep it real.
Tell me about it. Not impressed!
