Marvin Sapp recorded a song with former Atlanta Housewife, and R&B Singer Kandi Burruss; while some are blessed by the song others don’t find it to be a blessing or a good sign.

After tough criticism and questioning of Mrs. Burress and his teaching, Pastor Sapp responds on Facebook:

Usually I don’t respond to people about things like this however I must this time. The problem with many in the church is:

  1. that we major in minors and
  2. ignorant (not well studied) of scripture

Let’s deal with the first. This woman, who was an ex-R&B singer that sells sex toys and lives with her man, decided on a show that reaches 10 million viewers per showing (believers and unbelievers) to sing about not sex toys, drugs or living with a man but PRAYER! And the saints are upset. The lyric says, “I stay prayed up, that gets me by, that’s how I made it through my darkest time. See I’m a sinner and that’s no lie, but thank God my prayers are heard because He knows I try.”

Wow!!!!! nothing elicit or comprising about the lyrics.

So, [now] let’s look at how Jesus dealt with the sinner.  From my study of scripture the only people He checked was the church (religious people of that day) however the sinner He consistently showed COMPASSION! Examples: Woman caught in the ACT of adultery. Also the Woman at the well.  [He] Never exposed them publicly, [but] dealt with them privately. We as believers major in minors.  [We are] so caught up in the messenger that we are missing the message “Staying Prayed Up.” Now, I close with this. Everyone that God used in scripture was flawed and or had struggles. Let me call the roll.  Moses was a murderer, Rahab was a harlet (whore), David was a murder/adulter and still considered a man after Gods own heart, Peter was a cutting cusser however was in the inner circle of Jesus, Paul was a murderer and made many blaspheme against God however wrote 2/3 of the NT, He spoke through a Donkey and if we decide to be quite rocks will cry out… We say we are christians which means being Christ-like but question peoples motives that model his behavior….The bible speaks about witnessing and that you need to be wise to win souls and Paul says I became all things to all men that I might win some…. Compromise was never done here nor do I condone her life style or life choices and keeping 100 you don’t know the off camera conversation we had. Again big picture 10 million people at 1 time were challenged to PRAY in difficult times WOW!!!! Thats Awesome and Ministry.

PS. Didn’t spell check because I’m late to a meeting…. Be Blessed
