This was an excellent breakdown.

excellent break down

[@Victorious200567]

Thank you Pastor as always for an excellent teaching. I will listen again and take much notes. There are lots of lessons to be learned from this good preaching. Please continue from where you left off soon.

[@phyllislawson3294]

Denzel made a true statement. He did not pick, neither one of the guys. They both were under attack. CHRIS was under attack. He got slapped. Will under attacked, he slapped him. Both guys had impeccable records Socially.They both were targeted. By each other, at their finest moments. I can understand. Why they went to the person who was available to talk too. Thank you Denzel for making a move to do something.

Thank You “Pastor” I need the prayers of your congregation! Please help.

I do not agree that Chris provoked Will Chris aid Jada a compliment. Go back and listen. We all jumped to conclusions immediately but in all actualality Chris said he loved Jada and could not wait to see her in a sequel to GI Jane. Will was wrong. He had no reason. Self control is a powerful thing.

[@rays2542]

I believe he said I love you cause he was warning her it was coming. I agree, it should’ve never got this far. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@phyllislawson3294]

Look deep into your own behavior. and you will understand. what this preacher mentioned. Both these guys action. Is bigger than. a simple, comment. They are us. Their actions is no surprise it happen. everyday. We expect them to respond different. than we do. Their no better or different than we are. We love them both. because there is something about them. That reminds us of ourselve. I am glad and appreciate. The 2 brother's that made an effort to put things back in order as it was unraveling, a sense of confusion. I could not have done it better. I understand Denzel. Because of his pass action, he is a man of peace. He has home training. This is exactly what I would have done. Put out the fire. by any means necessary

He who controls the language, controls the conversation

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

I found it inappropriate that some Christians were excusing what Smith did or making jokes about the situation. This is what ungodliness looks like, he lives and behaves in a worldly manner. That is what the lost do, nothing there to commend or joke about. He's responsible for his actions, not Satan!

[@slapman9161]

I think it’d be fair to say that all unrighteous conflict is demonically inspired .. It started in Heaven..

[@morrisbrown8441]

love your comment, however it is also right doing to put it on Will. even though we are influenced by the world, flesh, and devil in a murder, the police will not look for them; they will look to charge us.

"Don't joke about people having disease" Yes, the world, flesh, and the devil is at work"

[@ptlegend811]

To add my voice to the conversation. Will Smith was totally wrong in displaying his anger against Chris Rock. Yes, I agree with the Pastor and Denzel Washington that the Devil is always ready to bring a successful black man down. This was Will's highest moment of achievement in Hollywood, but yet, the devil convinced him (by allowing Jada to give him a cue that she does not like Chris' joke). Will trying to prove his manhood and showing that he can actually do something about Chris' joke. Big mistake, this was giving the world a poor taste of a black man's success. We cannot handle the truth!

[@phyllislawson3294]

I am observing. People want to indirectly place Denzel in the middle of this disasters. Denzel mention God and that made him a target. Anything he say. Is targeted now. Is that the best yall can do. then so be it. Micheal Jordan said something like that in the 90's

[@valoriethompson794]

Wonder why August Alsina didn't provoke Will. He slept with his wife, not just make a joke. BTW, Will laughed until Jada gave him side eye. It's time to stop making excuses and take responsibility.

[@mrsmtm8496]

Will had side chicks too. Have u ever thought of that? And secondly they were separated and as Will said ‘he was done with her’ meaning was ready to divorce her

[@doreenscott4223]

@@mrsmtm8496 From what they've shared previously, it was Jada's idea though to not have a traditional marriage. Maybe they should come to terms with the fact that it's not working at least not for him. He was going to say he was done with her to save face.

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

I agree with you 100%! I was disappointed to see Christian folks getting caught up in the worldliness of it and making excuses for that behavior or joking about it. This is how godless people live! Satan didn't do that; a godless man and woman were behind that!

[@lauraatkinson8920]

Agreed yes will smith was provoked ‘provocation’.

One must understand that form precedes functionality. God said let there be light. He formed light from the darkness. He wanted man to understand His FUNCTION and His purpose for creating Mankind. When a man doesn't understand the purpose of a thing such as the institution of marriage and family he will eventually lose them based on his lack of knowledge. It's what makes things visible. I'm not impressed with a man (society) that can only form an opinion after a man's transgression (sin) has been committed or publicly seen. That's operating with a second-strike capacity mindset. Nor am I focused on actors and the outcomes of people in the entertainment business. It's a waste of time for me because it's not my assignment. Therefore without fully understanding the intentionality of the decision being made at the Oscars, it's not wise to formulate a conclusive opinion. Deceptions and distractions can lead one away from pursuing their purpose. This event will have long-term grave consequences if the focus is continuously misguided and exploited by the media. I must remain cautious and poised in my opinion of Will Smith and Chris Rock. Given I am the mother of two African American males, whose living directly in an environment where George Floyd's murder and several others continue to occur in their backyard due to corruption. There is a deeper spiritual ramification of Will Smith publicly slapping another man for his wife's private indiscretions. I told my sons the character of their future wives will either bring a blessing or a curse. Make sure she knows our God. The God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac, and she doesn't surrender to other gods. As for Jada Pinkett-Smith, the key is to study the scriptures. I told them to look at Isaiah 3:17 concerning her (alopecia) bald head. Ask the Holy Spirit to give them wisdom on what demonic doors she opened by committing adultery. What does God say about marrying certain types of women? Understand fully before getting yourself in a deadly situation over a verbal assault or false accusation. I told them to study Proverbs 19:11 with regards to Chris Rock before making a character assassination on his masculinity or the assessment of his manhood. The question becomes what was Will Smith actually defending by slapping Chris Rock? Again what did Jada expose her husband and their household too? Her Redtable FB public defilement is not repentance to Christ privately but could be socially deemed as shenanigans for likes and followers. God is not obligated to protect a woman that has violated her marriage bed and the institution of her marriage covenant. Just because Jada Pinkett-Smith talks about her sins openly doesn't grant her immunity. Our confessions must never be greater than our true repentance to Christ. I am leery of people always wanting to tell the world details about what's going on in their marriage, especially in their bedroom. Without God's grace and mercy, Jada would be dead. Believe me, I am not judging. I made some of the same egregious mistakes. The sin of pride, idolatry, and legalism previously occupied my doorstep and took up residency in my household; due to sitting under leadership that authorized the spirit of adultery. It destroyed countless marriages and families in the body of Christ, including mine. If Christ is not their center they cannot expect an outcome that's rooted in (truth) covenant. My only prayer at this particular moment is healing our nation (men), especially black men. So they can govern their families. I don't want my sons defending me or their future wives by means of violence as their first response. They need to learn the rules of engagement to fight spiritual battles accordingly. What happened at the Oscars wasn't protection it was a representation of what a dying black family looks like without a God-fearing man surrendering to the will of God ... IJS I pray for the healing of our men so they can restore the family back to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. - #neverdobusinesshungry

I personally don’t see how anything about this worldly foolery has anything to do with or how it can be connected to believers.. If something like that happens at The Dove Awards or a Christian television broadcast,I totally get “the church” reacting to a scenario like that but how have saved folk forgot that they ain’t always been saved.. ? and some of them done slapped some folk too .. .. the world is exactly where things like what we saw Will Smith do ,happen.. 🤷🏿‍♂️ who cares he was at the Oscar’s.. he didn’t 😂.. carnality is what carnality does.. I ain’t forgot the people I shot guns at before I was saved .. the people I robbed and stole from.. how a smack at the Oscar’s supposed to surprise me.. when I’ve done MUCH MUCH worse.. I AINT ALWAYS BEEN SAVED!!!! and you ain’t always been saved either .. and church folk need to ACT LIKE IT!🙄 the way some Christians are capable of ripping people apart .. saved and still deadly as a king cobra .. and saved .. church folk need to stop this mess .. some of the biggest hell raisers I know are preachers .. 😂 A violation is still a violation to the violated , REGARDLESS of the environment…

[@emador3242]

@@slapman9161 You miss the point the lady has attempted to make. She does not deny the fact that some saved people sometimes are guided by the devil in their conduct or actions. She even gave herself as an example. She has simply expressed persuasively and biblically her disagreement with their view of the events.
