A lot of them had wives that were much younger .

[@mrlevhil]

I grew up in Memphis. I wasnt COGIC, but i remember this was the talk of the town. They even started rumors that the woman killed Bishop. My brother was an attendant at J.O. Patterson Mortuary at the time.

[@Alfamale-xs4ev]

Yes I grew up in Memphis as well and one thing that some Black people do in Memphis is spread false rumors, lies, and gossip both the saved and unsaved....the man died of cancer that he had been battling for over three years point blank!!!

Never let the troubles of this world, or your life, cause you to worry. Put your faith in the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). If God is not sovereign, then God is not God. R. C. Sproul
