ITT Nov/ Dec 2015 | Page 2

From President’s Desk Welcome to ITT MAG, the ultimate Urban Christian Magazine. This Month is a powerful, controversial, and challenging issue the strongest since we be in publication which is a strong statement. In this issue we look at the Church, and how commercialism , politics, showmanship, trickery, have crept into the Church. I know you are wondering why? Are you writing an issue like this because I’m an Ordained Elder of COGIC for over 30 years. I have watched the Church change from a spiritual conception as the Body of Christ into false pretention of title-bearing individuals who don’t have any anointing, and are out of line with the scriptures. Sure it’s fine to say God get’s the glory out of it all but, it’s time we have dialogue in clarity instead of making every man a Bishop, because he says he’s called. In 2015 technology is how we communicate. This is one of God’s greatest tools he allowed man to bring into existence yet, we have become less spiritual, allowing divorce to become a normal thing among Christian believers, we don’t stand up against America, when it comes to same sex marriage, even gun laws to that allow people to carry guns now without a permit or license. All the while we are to is dancing and speaking in some kind of tongues to prove how saved we are, only to find out you’re are father or mother of 3 children, not married but the devil is a lie! LOL What a famous cliché. RD Thompson Sr. President / Exec. Chairman The Church has become a place for exception and allowance, instead of helping individuals to come under the authority of the Word of God. So it is time to talk instead of being quiet and going along with the program. Let’s be the change we want to see in the church today.
