Mr. Long was not chosen by The Holy One of Israel he was chosen by the you's that gives him your life. I realize that so many African American people look for hope in everything but God and within. Christians holds a belief that tithing is money and Long is truly raking it in by the barrel. I wonder how many of his members/donors bills are paid. God will play judgment on all of these so-called men and women of God. And as for the cursing, him, T D Jakes and many other clergy believe that they can curse and still be people of God. Why would a crook every apologize for being a crook, he's too crooked to see straight. Lastly prayer is ok, but open rebuke, chastisment and correction is better, but OH I forgot his followers believes everything he says. Why is it nobody ever studies the Bible, rather than believing these men.
