Hello World,

Since it’s hump day (Don’t you just love that GEICO commercial with the talking camel?), I’ve decided some laughs are in order!

My favorite Christian comedy group “The Playmakers”   are at it again! They have created a hilarious video “10 Types of Black Preachers” in which they dramatize the 10 types of black preachers you will likely encounter in church….Here they are…

1. The Interesting Voice…2. The Singer…3. The Hooper…4. The Asthmatic…5. The Emotional Wreck…6. The Mathematician…7. The Crowd Interactionist…8. The Fire & Brimstone…9. The Dictionary and…10. The White Guy Voice….Take a look and tell me which one you have encountered in church…I think I’ve seen them all 🙂

The most hilarious one is The Asthmatic…One of the playmakers yells out while collapsing in an asthma attack, “Jesus be an inhaler!” LOL… 🙂

If you want to see more of the “The Playmakers,” check them out on Tracey Edmonds’  Alright TV!

019Also on the same network is the talented Issa Rae, the creator of the innovative web series “Awkward Black Girl.” She has created a new series musical web series “The Choir, “ a comedic series about the personal, spiritual and often controversial dynamics of a revered church choir for Alright TV!

Five Preachers Called Out at Magic City Strip Club!

Hello World,

Did my headline get your attention? If you came of age in the ’90s, you have probably heard several rappers praise “Magic City” strip club in the A…In fact, I believe that the A, unfortunately, is on the go-to destinations for the best strip clubs…Maybe that’s why Rev. Miller Kingston grabbed four of his preacher buddies and headed to “Magic City.” LOL…Actually, that’s not true…

According to Americapreachers.com, Kingston and his fellow preachers went there to witness…

“Rev. Miller Kingston, who is originally from Tampa, Florida said, “When I relocated here, I couldn’t believe how many preachers frequently visit strip clubs for pleasure.”

Rev. Kingston is known throughout the Tampa, Florida area as the “stripper preacher” because he visits area strip clubs frequently passing out biblical material to whoever is receptive.

He claims he wanted to bring his same habits from Tampa to Atlanta because no one else is ministering in the area strip clubs.”

According to the article, when security realized what he was doing, they threw him and his fellow preachers out but not before “leaving his 1000 Jesus flyers in the men’s room!”

So my question for today is when is the last time you were bold for the Lord and witnessed outside of your comfort zone? I must admit it’s been way too long for me…I’ve got to think about that…

Also, do you think it was appropriate for the men of God to be in the strip club at all?

Any thoughts?
