    Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Shut Down Pastor Brian Carn’s Church Services After He Allegedly Admitted to Holding Easter Service Although Sick With COVID-19

    Hello World,

    If this is true, Charlotte Pastor Brian Carn must be allegedly trying to tempt God…According to the WSOC-TV in Charlotte, North Carolina, there is an audio recording in which Pastor Carn of Kingdom City Church in Charlotte, North Carolina allegedly admitted to having the shakes, coughing and body pain…And on top of that, Pastor Carn allegedly told his church members to not reveal where they went to church if they got sick and had to go to the doctor! Check out an excerpt of the shocking story by Glenn Counts below…

    “A Charlotte preacher claims he had COVID-19 symptoms and still held services packed with people.

    Pastor Brian Carn allegedly conducted service at Kingdom City Church on Dr. Carver Drive on Easter Sunday, and it’s raising eyebrows.

    “Does the devil fight my body?” Carn could be heard saying in an audio recording. “Of course. Just like he fights your body. Did I get the shakes? Yup. Did I cough? Yup. Did I feel pain in my body? Whatever.”

    Carn allegedly was talking about being infected with the virus.

    Channel 9 learned Thursday that Carn has now agreed not to hold any more in-person services after he was contacted by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.”

    New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Pastor Jamal Bryant Urges Black People to Remain Sheltered in Place Despite Georgia Gov. Kemp Opening Businesses on FRIDAY!

     

    Hello World,

    My state has been in the national news over the past couple of days and not for a good reason. On Monday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced that on Friday, the shelter in place mandate will be relaxed to allow some businesses such as nail salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors, bowling alleys etc. to open. (How does one practice social distancing at any of these establishments, pray tell?)As there has been discussion about whether Georgia has hit its peak regarding the spread of COVID-19 and the fact that COVID-19 has been disproportionately affecting black people, Pastor Jamal Bryant is calling the governor out and urging black people to remain sheltered in place. He entitled his commentary “Georgia opening the state…..opening caskets!” Below is all he had to say:

    Additionally, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was not aware that Gov. Kemp was going to make such an announcement. See her statement below:

    Dr. Bernice King, who is on the state’s COVID-19 task force, also did not know that Gov. Kemp was relaxing the state’s restrictions beforehand. Below is what she had to say:

    I truly understand that businesses are in economic dire straits right now but at the same time, you don’t want your final hair appointment to be at the mortuary. Keep Praying Saints! Discernment Is Needed…
