We know God must be extremely tired of these celebrity pastors dirt coming out in the press, it is not only causing a distraction in the body of Christ, but also the Kingdom of God. The root of the problem among some celebrity pastors is simply they allow carnality in their mega ministries, in order to gain fame and fortune. If they were so righteous and taught complete holiness, then they would be able to handle their personal issues. Creflo Dollar has not been the first and he will not be the last of celebrity preachers whom distract the body of Christ with his personal issues. We have so much God is expecting us deal with in our troubled society, we do not have time for any distractions. For example, how is Creflo Dollar or any other troubled pastor going to deal with this issue of same sex marriage trying to control our country, if their personal family issues and scandals are coming out in the press? It is not fair to any of us in the body of Christ whom have been publicly denouncing gay marriage, abortion and other sinful issues, and it certainly is not fair to God.
Over the years, the body of Christ already been dealing with the debate of corporal punishment among other issues that causes religious controversy based on God's Word. As you know, like homosexuality, gay marriage and abortion, corporal punishment has been a difficult situation we have faced with politicians for many years. For this issue to come up again, because of Creflo Dollar's conflict with this daughter causes a distraction and it is not fair to those of us whom have been dealing with this latest controversy with same sex marriage that has not only divided the black church, but also destroyed many black families. Creflo Dollar is no different than Bishop Eddie Long, they have allowed hip hop gospel in their ministries while acting as though they deserve to be respected as ministers of God's Word. However, if either one of them were called to preach, why has it been so important for them to focus on the prosperity gospel and hip hop while many souls are being allegedly being deceived by gay affirming pastors to believe it is okay to be a homosexual and even marry their partners? You see, Creflo Dollar, Bishop Eddie Long, Bishop T. D. Jakes are any other celebrity preacher does not even possess the anointing to tackle those issues, because they have allegedly been so carnal, themselves. How are any of them anointed by God to preach and the body of Christ have not yet heard any of them approach President Barack Obama about this issue or even publicly denounce the president? If Creflo Dollar was so anointed by God, he would be able to handle his alleged rebellious daughter and deal with the problems that are coming against the church, these days. If Creflo Dollar's daughter is rebellious, he must have given her power to be that way, because allegedly, he does not believe in tarrying (praying through until the Holy Ghost comes down), he allows hip hop entertainment in his church and he focuses on fame and fortune. He and his wife, Taffi Dollar have been guilty of all three. So, if he cannot handle his children and his daughter has lied on him, he must have given her the power to do so. Any man or woman of God should have power within their household; but the anointing has not been able to flow within Creflo Dollar's church and there has been nothing but prestige and sophistication. So, how is he or even his wife going to take authority against the Devil in their home?
Sisters and brothers in Christ, let us assure you, if these celebrity pastors were more focused about God's business, standing up for righteous and dealing with the various political issues that we are facing today, they would not have personal troubles in their homes. Their children would respect them and their families problems would not be revealed before the media. The problem of the average black church today is, simply the pastors and church leaders have supported carnality and have confused holiness with tradition. God told us in His Word to be holy in I Peter 1:16, but they have confused it with tradition. They have rebuked those whom desire to be distinct from the world while enjoying their celebrity status and millions of dollars. This is why this issue with Creflo Dollar and his daughter does not surprise us and it will not surprise us, if something else come out in the news, regarding this family. God has not been pleased with a lot of these pastors of mega ministries for too long and if they refuse to allow His anointing to flow in their churches they way He desires and continue to welcome the nightclub atmosphere in the churches, then what can they expect? As a man or woman of God, you cannot expect your family life to be right, if you do not treat God's church right. Now, you see, Creflo Dollar would not be having trouble with his daughter, if he had been concentrating on meeting with President Barack Obama about reversing his support on gay marriage. The issue of corporal punishment should be dead by now, but the reason why it has been brought up again in the midst of this same sex marriage controversy, is simply because Creflo and Taffi Dollar have not allegedly shown a distinction between the world and the church and now it's catching up with them.
God wants these celebrity pastors to turn their mega churches into deliverance ministries not just for alcoholics, drug attics and drug dealers , but also for victims of AIDS, homosexuals, prostitutes, and murderers whom yearn to be set free. However, if Creflo Dollar's and other celebrity preachers just continue to focus on what brings in a lot of money (hip-hop) into their churches, then their personal issues will be the center of attention and not the souls whom may end up in hell.
Furthermore, with all of the millions of dollars, Creflo and Taffi Dollar have made over the years, it would be very interesting to know how many homes have they provided to poor families. How many homeless shelters do they have and do they have them at various locations, across the country like many their satellite churches?
