Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil

This morning I'm writing because I'm frustrated!! Absolutely heated! I'm upset about what's been going on since I moved home in '04, but as a Christian in the line of fire, I expect it. HOWEVER, I'm extremely disappointed in the actions (non-actions) of my fellow "Brothers & Sisters in Christ". And the question that I have for them is, "Do you love me?"
So today I just want to set the record straight and slay some devils by, clearing up some issues, beseeching my Brothers & Sisters in Christ and ultimately declaring that "Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil!"

Background
Okay. Since I've returned home from college God has placed me in a position of leadership in Ministry. I have been teaching Sunday School and have spoken at a few engagements at both my home church and churches abroad. Ultimately I've also taken on the task of ensuring that our Worship Team is effective in not only ushering in the presence of the Lord but sparking a spirit and attitude of Praise & Worship into the hearts and the minds of the congregation. With all that said, I have gotten and am still receiving reports of people spreading vicious lies and rumors about me. To be honest, most of the stuff is just plain 'ol stupid! In my opinion what makes matters worse is that my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ are spreading this crap! But ask me if anybody has ever personally come to me........ NOPE, not even once!

To The Haters
Wheeeeww........ What in the world did I ever do to you? Except preach and teach you the Word of God uncompromised. Well anyway, STOP THE RUMORS. They are not true!

• NO, I do NOT live with my ex-girlfriend!
• NO, My ex-girlfriend does NOT live with me!
• In fact I have NEVER lived with anyone besides my immediate family!
• NO, I do NOT have secret babies running around Maryland!
• NOPE, I've NEVER had any children out of wedlock (Praise God)!

Haters......., out of all the things to say about me and people that you could accuse me of living with, why on earth would you pick my ex-girlfriend??? Wouldn't it make more sense for me to be living with my CURRENT lady? DUH!!!! Just Stop It! It's ridiculous and it doesn't make any sense at all. Lastly, why haven't you approached me about it? Probably b/c you're doing the same thing.
Whatever!

To My Bro & Sis In Christ
Come here a sec..... closer....closer. Since you like listening to and spreading garbage come here.... "lemme whisper in your ear". I got some juicy news to tell you. Listen to this. I am absolutely disgusted with you. Why on earth are you listening to all of this crap. Why on earth are you continuing the spread of this crap. And why on earth haven't you approached me about this crap! Do You Love Me?....... I mean really, Do You Really Love Me? If you love me then why haven't you came to me in love???
Galatians 6:1 says... "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
If you truly loved me and honestly think I'm engaging in sinful practices then according to the bible you are supposed to come to me, in love, in hopes of restoring me back to right fellowship with God! Now let's see...... that has happened to me.....ummmm...... ZERO times in the past two years. Some friends you are..... Some friends you are. Listen, PLEASE love me enough to look out for me. Don't let me go down the wrong path. Don't let me go to hell. Telling others about my problem without confronting me does nothing to help the situation at all. It only makes it worse.

Lastly
I'm still excited,
My joy still remains.
Through all these earthly worries,
And all these earthly pains.
You can't stop my progress,
I'm going to another level.
That's why I sit back and smile,
'Cuz "Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil!"

God Bless You All!
