Before one of Detroit's prominent pastors and gospel artists became a victim was there ever a press conference about carjacking? Did we ever hear of Pastor Marvin Winans or any of his celebrity siblings such as Bebe and CeCe Winans speaking out about not just carjacking, but holding press conferences about overall crime in the city of Detroit? Not just the Winans family, but we never heard any of the Clark Sisters publicly speaking out about crime that has happen to many of the impoverished citizens of Detroit. For example, we did a previous post about gospel artists and black churches in Detroit reaching out and witnessing to women whom are alleged prostitutes to stop the previous back-page murders. Absolutely not, we never heard of any of these prominent pastors or gospel artists holding press conferences to stop crime anywhere in America and maybe if they would make a habit to be more concerned about stopping crime to protect those whom are not rich and famous, then maybe people would take pastors. gospel artists and even the entire black church more serious.
Now, on a previous news clip, Pastor Marvin Winans allegedly claimed there was no reason for him to be attacked and carjacked, because his church, Perfecting church always gives out to the poor. However, this happens everyday across America. Specifically, in Detroit there was a homeless woman who was on the news crying, because she got carjacked and she did not receive as much news coverage as Pastor Marvin Winans. He may be very down to earth, but possibly God is trying to show him to reach out more to those whom have already faced their attackers, long before he was carjacked. God could be also sending a message to the rest of those prominent pastors and gospel artists in Detroit, to consider those whom cannot afford to live in the best neighborhoods and drive the finest cars like them. No doubt, God wants all of these rich and famous celebrities whom claim to know Him to care more about those whom have been robbed and witness to those whom rob their victims. If you have watched the "First 48" television show, you can recall how an elderly woman was robbed by two youngsters who approached her front door and stole her computer and other items. Now that elderly woman is dead and did not get a chance to live and retrieve her personal belongings. In general, God wants people to be more fair and understand that people need the black church or any other ministry to not just reach out with a bag of food here or there, but people whom are at risk and those whom put others at risk in our American society need more of them to regularly do street witnessing in teams. It would be a good idea to also pass out Holy Bibles and pray with the pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers, drug users and poor people. All sinners and homeless people need Jesus Christ, not just homosexuals need salvation. Another idea would be to provide job programs and create jobs outside of the church. We are not saying Perfecting Church does not do any of this, but there needs to be more of it.
Every time anyone whom gets murdered in any neighborhood, the black church (or any other church) ought to be the first ones to hold a press conference and show their concern to put a stop to crime. It is time to come down from being a prominent person, step down from the pulpit and reach out to those whom face crime on a daily basis and offer Christ to those whom commit crime.
