Bishop Eddie Long Taking A Leave of Absence Does Not Seem In Harmony With God's Kingdom

Every time something happened in the news with Bishop Eddie Long, a minister at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church was always announcing Bishop Eddie Long and his family's absence, so really this is nothing new. The only difference this time is Bishop Eddie Long announced his own leave of absence as though is going he is not going to return for a much longer time span.  It seemed as though his absence from New Birth after several news coverages were at least over five times, it could have been more. Bishop Eddie Long's troubles are not stopping.  So, when is his absences from the pulpit going to stop? He announced his leave of absence to make his income source does not cease during his time to get Vanessa back in position as the first lady, regardless of her attorney's notification, which is not in line with God's Kingdom.   Furthermore, his sarcastic comment to the press, "I'm not stepping down, I'm stepping up" is a pure indication he is insecure, he always has got to prove he is beyond everyone, conceited is a better name for his attitude.

As a man of God, Bishop Eddie Long is responsible for making sure he does not stop God's business, just so that he can take care of his personal affairs.  However, since he is all about money and living the celebrity lifestyle he is more concerned what people are thinking about him. Now that Vanessa Long has made up her mind to divorce him, he should show he is truly in line with God's business by proceeding with ministry, but his ego will not allow him to.   Bishop Eddie Long has a big ego problem and he does not want to appear demoralized by a woman who is leaving in his own problems, alone.  After 21 years of marriage God has given this woman strength to leave Bishop Eddie Long and all of his alleged sinful behaviors behind and he does not know how to deal with it.   However, his is so insecure, he does not want to continue being seen without her.   Therefore, Eddie Long is possibly revealing he is too embarrassed to carry on the ministry as the nation now accepts Vanessa Long's statement through her attorney, the divorce is definitely final.  

Overall, a woman's independence is a threat to Bishop Eddie Long and to many men who attend New Birth's church services, allegedly.  There were many times Bishop Eddie Long allegedly stated in his sermons that men should be the head of the household and if they run into certain women whom were in authority not to be threaten or afraid of them.   Now, why should they be either of those things?   Why should a man be intimidated by a woman's success?  Was Bishop Eddie Long speaking about himself?  So this lets us know it is not very easy for him to accept Vanessa Long's decision to become independent and finally enjoy her life again as a single woman.


With all of those muscles he showed off in those skin tight shirts for many years was obviously and allegedly a cover up to hide his insecurity as a man.  It always seemed to be all about Bishop Eddie Long and not about God.   Bishop Eddie Long always allegedly made it known in various sermons his negative feelings about women and how he never liked them feeling neglected by their fathers, but when it came to men he expected for everyone to understand.   So now, when is New Birth Missionary Baptist Church going to be about God and not about how angry Bishop Eddie Long allegedly feels about certain women?   Now, that Vanessa is proving she is her own woman, he is allegedly placing God on hold and that is definitely offensive withing God's Kingdom.

Possibly, he should take a permanent leave of absence and sell the property, so he can retire from ministry, all together.
