i havent even looked at the clip, but i already know its gonna be a high-handed mess!

lmfao

I will not say anything! I love the LORD! And if she is reaching her congregation by performing, secular chanting, then… go ahead!

She could have at least had the band cue in for back up!

First!
sorry couldn”t resist lol

LOL…Oh my goodness. Why don’t I go to church anymore? Oh I know I would be in there laughing at them! they woke up early to hear her sing single Ladies…they could have stayed home and listened to Beyonce! Ohh the church folks Hilarious! Maybe I should start going again make sure I smoke me a fat one first so I can get a good laugh!! LMAO!!

OMFG!!!!!!! Maybe she’s trying to tell these ladies and men the sanctity of matrimony.
oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
LFAO

well the church is full of single ladies.

LMFAO … i HATE she couldnt get to that wig shop THEN maybe she wouldnt have worn that hat!

and the pulpit rendition of ‘single ladies’… DEAD!

LOL…

well the church is full of single ladies.

YU RIGHT ABOUT THAT

Well the black church is mostly filled with single ladies so it is fitting.

I prefer sleeping in and brunching on Sundays, thank you very much.

A hot mess! Leave that mess outta the church!!

Whatever ups the rate of marriage in the black community is fine with me…

Dios mío!!!!!!

What does Single Ladies have to do with giving praise to God?

A prime example of how music influences. Albeit, in the wrong venue.

Sad.

Maybe she was asking the single ladies to contribute more to the building fund??

Who dah?
What dah?
Why dah?
….speechless!

Maybe she should have been tunning in to Bobby Jones Gospel videos instead of 106 & Park.

hence why the two can’t mix – if you are of the word then you have no need to be in the world .. people that are enjoying both worlds should do better than bringing that mess in the lords house – smh

Hallaluah! Praise HER NAME!!!

Bout time someone has decided to reveal that Beyonce is the true Messiah. Let the church say, 9-11 taste like Don Peeon. Pop yo coochie for JESUS!

Church ladies give it up faster then anyone. . and most of them be in the club the night before.

@ms. mecca. girl they are hating on you in the other post, sorry. i think your cool.

sick of beyonce thou, she’s played totally out, her and rihanna.

@PM:

And church boys fornicate. lol

Auntie Mable lol. Pastor help me put some anointing oil on those cheeks

WHO’S F*CKING TONITE?
WHO’S F*CKING TONITE?

Damn right I go to church and get my freak on. All that repression for gay white jesus makes my my woman hole itch for PENUS and JESUS.

im not mad…my aunt who doesnt listen to secular music heard the song and like it because of its message

The sound system is horrible

I guess Beyonce is going to be a living legend. They are already singing her songs at church. LOL I would feel silly singing that song at church, but everybody is different on how they choose to worship at church.

Wig shops AND Single Ladies go hand in hand… Preach.

Thats actually an appropriate song. Most black females are single. Black females dominate the church. YEah, its the story of their life.

WOW……NOW IF THAT DO BEAT ALL MY GOING TO SCHOOL IF THAT WHAT IT TAKES TO TEACH US WOMEN ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNGER WOMEN THAN SO BE IT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES THINGS LIKE THAT TO REACH OUR YOUNGER YOUTHS OR SHOULD I SAY LADIES THEY CAN IDENTIFY WITH THAT SO IF SHE GOT HER MESSEGE ACROSS THEN SHE DID A GOOD JOB, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IN MY WILDEST DREAMS THAT I WOULD SEE THE MOTHER OF THE CHURCH SINGING SINGLE LADIES, AND ON TOP OF THAT SHE IS TELLING THEM TO WAIT BUT HER HAT COULDNT WAIT IT WANTED TO JUMP OFF HER HEAD I THINK IT WAS FEELING THE HOLY SPIRIT ALSO OR THE HAT COULDNT BELIEVE IT EITHER AND JUST WANTED TO LEAVE HER HEAD. WOW ALL THE SINGLE LADIES JUST WAIT…………..OH OH OH OH OH………

amen

I got on my Beverly Johnson #34 color 2b

*singing* all the single hoes watch your back cause I got my wig on ready to snatch your tracks! Jesus jesus I LOVE bEYONCE!

Kigali

Here you go again. Someone used your ignorant ass cause all you seem to rant about daily is Black women this and that with your unchecked stats. I bet your a foreigner who couldn’t get your green card cause Mokesha wouldn’t marry your stank breath ass. Pretending to be a woman when everyone knows that you’re a broke down BITCH.

So….I should be able to go into church and sing:

“Backstabbers….they smile in yo face/all the time they wanna take yo place/them backstabbers……backstabbers!

Right?

I mean, there are backstabbers in church too. As well as holier-than-thou folks.

Or I could sing…

“It’s hard out here for a pimp/when he trying to get his money for the rent/for the cadillacs and gas money spent/because a whole lotta bitches talking shit”.

I mean, come on people.

I went to church some time around 3 months ago and my pastor made reference to Rihanna’s song “Take A Bow” when he was preaching about adultery and other ungodly things such has cheating. I was like gotdamn! My pastor knows that song. Lol
It was appropriate though…he just read a few lines from Rihanna’s song “Take A Bow”, and said that the words are true.
But this woman is wrong for busting out singing the “Single Ladies” song in church; having the band playing along and all. Too funny.

@not so tasty t

You write like a gottdamn cyber statistic. Read a book ignoramus or at least TYPE IN ENGLISH! WHY WHY WHY?

@Dame Beso

BITCH BE QUIET RIGHT NOW i MEAN SILENT!

@Beso Meet My Cuhluh:

¿Por qué usted no deje de crecer y partir mierda?

People are getting the church issues and the world issues all mixed up. Pay attention to what type of church you are attenting too these days.

It’s cute that you’re trying to start something.

Cute.

But I pass , sweetie…….

Oh, and its not Cuhluh, its Chula.

This is just too much. *shakes head in a dazed and confused state*

@Dumb Beso my chocha,

awwww ho this ain’t the spanish bossip go to lossip for that ching chang shit. I spelled ass in spanish incorrectly to mess with your head and I must say I did a good job I see you came back 19times to talk shiz, well hooker I don’t like no flat backs…….. meaning I don’t like you bitch lets go to WAR-CYBER WAR!

PREACH MOTHA!!!!

@BESO MEET MY CUHLUH

K……..I’ll let you tell it.

Have fun.

Just listen to ya! mAN NO RESPECT FOR THE CHURCH or GOD. And Bey is wrong! And at my church there is more married than single, so not ALL CHURCHES IS FULL OF SINGLE LADIES! Its just that most churches men mostly stay home from church! Which is what is wrong with our black community!

Sooooooo….anyway, back to the topic at hand.

@Proud Jamaican:

That story is too funny! Maybe reaching out to the younger audience with stuff they can relate to will help them listen, instead of falling asleep? lol

AS BEAUTIFUL AS BEY IS…WHY WOULD U POST A PHOTO LESS THAN COMPLIMENTARY OF HER? YOU DID A SERIOUS DIG FOR THAT PICTURE….99.9% OF HER PHOTOS ARE FAB! GET SOME BUSINESS!

Okay, that was hilarious. But if you listen, she had a message for the single ladies…”wait”. I think she was promoting an anti-fornication message. Effective, yet entertaining take on B’s song. BTW, it definately looks like a store front church and they tend to be a bit less, ummm sophisticated.

@ Dame Beso

Yep that is true…do things that the youngins can relate to, but come on; it can be done modestly. For instance, just quoting some lines from the song.
I was surprised that the actual dance was not done too. Lol

WHY DID THE ORGANIST KNOW THE SONG ALSO???LOLOLOL!

Kigali…at least they go to church you heathen cunt.

*eye roll*

yeah so glad she didn’t do that dance!

[...] Aw Hell No Jump to Comments #more-80964 [...]

she needs to sit her ass down!

@Proud Jamaican:

Girl, me too. At first I couldnt here it over the shotty sound system, but then I heard the chorus. SMH

I’m surprised the choir didnt have those black leotards on underneath their robes; ripping them off when they started to “get into the song”. lol

LOL @ Lauren the Lurker……

Alright now. I ain’t mad at her. Go head and do it so they can relate to you with ya old self! Thats right Single Ladies…..WAIT!!! I thought I heard mother to tall yall to WAIT!!!! LOL LOL

*HEAR

LOL!!!! This is cute!! I’m not saying sanctified people are perfect. I have been around them and sometimes they tend to be too spiritual. It’s nice to see she knows something about the world outside of the church. It was tactful.

You never know how she heard the song. She may’ve gotten the tune/words from a relative(grandchild) without knowing what it actually was.

It was very tactful and cute though. Come on people!

Now that dang songs going to be in my head all day. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Sheesh.

She gon be singin Oochie Wally by Nas next. lmao

I just looked toward heaven and gave up the ghost….

sorry, but I hate churches like this, and I feel sorry for the people who frequent them

I haven’t watched the video, but I can just about imagine, if the preacher is singing single ladies in church….Getting values from a song? DUMB. Getting values from parents,loved ones and family members, BEAUTIFUL.

@kigali- stats always wrong. so what, they are in church. That’s a good thing. not if only you could get your kkk/stormfront members to go,do u think u could change them,too??

I listened to it and I can’t even comment on it. smdh.

Just telling them to wait

Umm, Yeah….If Beyonce has the people from the Hippodromes in Europe to the caves in Argentina dancing to her song, and has a Church jammin’ to her song….then you know she must feel like the hottest bitch. I don’t blame her..shoooott.

this is just wrong

That makes no sense…using “secular” music to reach the crowd…I guess it’s a way to reach the young folks…

This is highly ridiculous! GOD tells us not to be conformed to the WORLD but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. You don’t use “secular” antics to reach young people for Christ. If anything, you are giving the gimmick to go out there and continue doing what they’re doing cuz “MOMMA WISDOM” said it was okay!

That’s why churches need good leaders! A good leader would’ve sat her down and made her responsible for what she did and made her apologize to the church for disrespecting the house of the Lord like this. The house of the Lord is the only place people can come and seek healing, deliverance, restoration, and most importantly, salvation for their lives.

People have been dealing with stress, trouble, and hardache all week long, they need to come to the house of Worship and let free and worship God and YOU bring wordly antics and songs into the house.

A DISGRACE!!!!

Truly, we are definitely in the last days people!

STRAIGHT DISGRACE!!!!

It’s not like she was singing the same exact words Beyonce was singing. She said “All the single ladies WAIT!” A plain and simple message. Everybody who preaches the word doesn’t just sit at home listening to gospel music. A lot of preachers use secular songs in their messages. Gospel bands also turn secular songs into inspirational songs such as “If u love em then u shoulda put a praise on him” to the single ladies beat. Sometimes preachers have to change it up a little bit to draw in the crowd they are trying to reach, once you get them in the door, you lead them to Jesus through the word. It’s not deceptive just creative. More power to her!

This is why there are many different churches out there. If you don’t like one that uses this type of antic to get you there, go to a more traditional one. It’s your choice, we all have to stand before God on judgment day.

they talked about that same song single ladies when these young people did a dance at their school game. it was way too racy for them young kids. the caption on cnn was “put some clothes on it” i laughed out loud.

THANKS BOSSIP NOW THAT VERSION OF THE GOD-DARN SONG IS GONNA BE IN MY HEAD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY…

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OOOH WAIT!!!

Oh my God that was funny! LMBO!

@ De’Vincent

If you wanna preach why don’t you take your razor head ass to the Lisa Raye post that ho needs to be healed by Latino JEsus. You people kill me coming into a gossip blog with the WORD. YOU don’t know what your talking about some slavemaster told you that crap and you’re just repeating it save it I went to church last easter sunday.

De’Vincent, get off your holy-roller high horse. Ole Mother was telling the single ladies to “wait”. Obviously she was using a secular song, but the message was still on point. I can’t stand legalistic Christians. Trust me, I’ve heard a whole lot of young, dynamic preachers use pop culture to get a message across, and you know what, it works because folks can relate because they’re keeping it real.

Get mad at Mother all you want, but notice how the congregation knew the song? LOL, I bet “you” do too…and from the looks of you…probably the dance routine as well!! Oops, did I say that? *clapping hand over mouth snickering*

@De’Vincent

Calm down, rememer ‘All things come together for the good of His purpose’….sometimes God uses whatever can be a necessary tool to reach people with HIS word. I agree that it was a little much, but I think the intention was good….

@ De’Vincent

I feeeeel you. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Dang, the haters on you already? Well your post didn’t land on deaf ears. Or ermmm, blind eyes. Whatev.

@ Just Sit and Be Pretty,

Obviously you don’t know what the word “sanctified” means. It means to be set apart. I would love to break it down for you, but I can see that commenting in depth on this topic would be like giving pearls to swines. Ain’t gonna happen.

Its okay to be an Old Testament Christian. Last time I checked, both books were the Word of G-d. Nothing’s wrong with keeping in tune with the past and present either. But as Christians you have to be set apart. And trust, I’m working on that everyday…

I happen to like Single Ladies though, only because Beyonce is ACTUALLY advocating marriage in that joint, not celebrating hoeing it out. On the same token though, there is a time and a place for everything. There is no time for Single Ladies in church. What other activities can you do at home or in school or anywhere that are not appropriate to do in church? Lots, but that doesn’t mean they are wrong. This MOther Wisdom or whatever should know this, and know better.

@Christmas, you don’t know me, nor do you know what I believe, so before you go off on your silly rant, you too need to get off your holier than thou soapbox too.

What the heck is an Old Testament Christian? What as opposed to a New Testament Christian? School me, since you seem to think that only you and De’Vincent “get it”.

Chile please, you all are like modern day Pharisees and Sadducees–who by the way were in constant conflict with Christ because of their rigid, legalistic rules and rituals. For all this talk about being “set apart” remember Jesus was friends with prostitutes,stopped an adulteress from being stoned, turned water into wine etc.

Before casting judgments and trying to throw Mother under the bus, unless you know her spirit and intent of her heart, you both can really just STFU!! In the meantime, keep scripture in context, go work out your own soul’s salvation (cause I’m sure you’re not a perfect Christian) and let that woman minister how ever she’s moved!! Sheesh!!

BTW, since you are so “sanctified”, why post a pic on the internet in what is an obvious attempt to appear seductive, striking a pose topless? Again, chile puhleeze…go pluck those planks out of your own eyes first.

I will not respond to those of who you who are attacking me directly. I repeat Romans 12:1-3 says: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

“CONFORMED?” Now what does “CONFORM” mean?

LET’S SEE:
to act in accordance or harmony; comply (usually fol. by to): to conform to rules.
2. to act in accord with the prevailing standards, attitudes, practices, etc., of society or a group: One has to conform in order to succeed in this company.
3. to be or become similar in form, nature, or character.
4. to be in harmony or accord.
5. to comply with the usages of an established church, esp. the Church of England.
–verb (used with object) 6. to make similar in form, nature, or character.
7. to bring into agreement, correspondence, or harmony.

Now based on these definitions when the Bible uses the word “CONFORM” it speaks of complying with the world’s standards or ways. The world sings “SINGLE LADIES.” This song does not glorify or bring honor to God in any type of way. As a matter of fact, it is the reason that young women are dancing in the clubs seductively, dressing trashy and whore-like, and resembling everything that will cause for a guy to approach them (although they may be a sweet girl)in the wrong manner.

People, don’t get mad at me!!! Get mad at the Word! I didn’t write the standards for the church, GOD gave the commands to Paul to write for order in the church. Read your Bible! It’s not about being “holier than thou” or “perfect” but it’s about obedience. We must obey what God’s Word says and not compromise or make excuses for the love of attention.

Ask yourself this one question, now if Jesus would have came and sat down in this church and saw this, knowing that song has brought glory to the devil, would he have been happy? You be the judge…

No De’Vincent, you have already assigned yourself jury,judge,and executioner!! I’m not mad at you at all…I’m just SMDH. God can use anything to bring Himself glory and you should know that anything the devil means for evil, God can use for good. So really, this isn’t a WWJD situation.

Truth be told, considering she had a anti-fornication message, He’d probably sit on the pew and be tickled…and probably snicker when she almost lost her wig. Anyway, I’m not gonna go back and forth with you because you are a believer…and so am I, so we’ll have to agree to disagree.

that was a great message! she said “all the single wait” Women need to learn to keep their legs closed……….

@Just Sit and Be Pretty, Christmas and De’Vincent

You should do just that…Just Go Sit and Be Pretty cause you are so right! Jesus used all types of methods to reach the lost. He forsook none even self righteous folk who think they knew the mind and motives of all. You know, Er’body in the Church Yellin Christian! I’m a preachers wife and I know Mother Wisdom had enough sense and wisdom to know those parishioners and she took the message where the single ladies where actually living…she sang Beyonce’s song, something folks listen to all week and leave just enough room for God to show up on Sunday. So she gave them something they could relate to…She told them to “wait.” Now every time they hear that song they ain’t gone hear Beyonce’s message. They are going to hear hers and I’m sure Mother Wisdom knows that cause Mother Wisdom ain’t always been saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. That’s why she’s called Mother Wisdom, cause Mother Wisdom had to go through some things in order to know, OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OOOH WAIT!!!. And Ms. topless should have done the same when she threw up that seductive pic, she should have really thought about it and said let me WAIT!! AND FOR DEVINCENT My brother in Christ, you ought to know that a good leader can’t minister in a place where he has never been. You aren’t a single lady so the message wasn’t for you nor could you have brought it! So why comment on another leaders message? We all have a PERSONAL relationship with Christ. I know you know that. So allow Mother Vincent to have her relationship with Christ and you tend to yours. Legalism will get us nowhere. There will be some that you will not be able to minister to until you begin to operate in Freedom in Christ. So be free brother, cause God ain’t mad at Mother Wisdom or you! Rejoice if one saved single lady decides to “Wait” because of Mother Wisdoms message! God can use anything or anybody, so take Him out of the box! Those who are seeking from the church can receive healing, deliverance, restoration, and most importantly, salvation for their lives when the church gets REAL!! We worship in spirit and in TRUTH, and the TRUTH seems to be Mother Wisdom felt a need to tell the single ladies in the church to “WAIT” cause Beyonce ain’t tellin them that. Now if Mother Wisdom would have sung the rest of them lyrics, and broke out with the dance, then i would have wondered if she thought she was in the club and would have to definitely sit her down until we figured that out! LoL…I Love ya!

oh oh oh oh …all da single ladies… wait! LMFAO.. I guess that was the point of her remix for the single ladies to wait.

@Kimberly, girl you better preach!! Glad you understand where I’m coming from. You have me LMAO with this…”Now if Mother Wisdom would have sung the rest of them lyrics, and broke out with the dance, then i would have wondered if she thought she was in the club and would have to definitely sit her down until we figured that out!”

Exactly!!

she sounds better than beyonce.

[...] If you liked it, you should have at least sprayed some holy water on it | Bossip [...]

@ De’Vincent
You are so right. Could not have said it any better. Forget them haters.

what is wrong with teaching the young black man and women to put a ring on it? and dont settle for less!!! Thats whats wrong with our nation Now we make fun of stuff!! That is true GROw THe hell up!!!!

God Da**
Too ignorant for words..

She is trying to reach the young women who spend their days thinking BET is the gospel.

Your body is your temple. Encouraging marriage. Family. Union.

…but I was dying with laughter…

@ Devincent

Well Said.

@Just Sit and Be Pretty

Girl, it’s truly gone be alright, Be Kingdom-minded!

http://www.nlicim.org

Kigali, you should not be talking because you definitely need church !

she’s telling the single ladies to wait for marriage before sex if you listen you hear she say’s “WAIT”

The only thing I hate worse than stupid cooning azz niggaz is stupid azz coons at church.

I love Jesus, But I cant stand Niggaz.

What’s wit’ da sermon up in here. There ain’t a gun totin’ n***a in any hood or a baby daddy wit’ 15 baby mommas who can’t quote me DA WORD forwards and backwards in the original Greek and Aramaic. It has NO EFFECT on the status of black America. And some of the most religious MF’s on this planet are in the carribbean or Africa where they slaughter each other and shoot each other up like they’re on commission for every body laid down. WAKE UP.. n***az need to stop obsessin’ on DA WORD and stop acting like they aren’t in DA WORLD that is kicking they azzez each time it goes ’round the sun!

I don’t believe in God OR Beyonce! And I certainly don’t believe in this OTHER deity called “GAWD!” that THIS lady and all like her is bowing down to. And I DAYUM sure don’t believe in this Allah who blesses any black man fool enough to wear a bowtie in public!!! F*** all of the nonsense.. stop doing drugs.. stop impregnating everything you see… START using birth control.. START taking control of your money, land, and food.. stop thanking GAWD every time you get a Grammy for “I Kill Dem Bitches” .. START making music that uplifts peepz.. EDUCATES peepz.. UNITES peepz… stop shouting out to the same “God/Gawd” worshipped by the very blue eyed Scots-Irish descendants whose violent “honor bound” lifestyle and codes the THUGS among us emulate and START shouting out to the REASON, COOPERATION, and FAIRNESS that are possible if you demand it from yourself and produce it from your own mind. That’s all we need my bruvvas. We don’t need storefronts in the ghetto full of parasitic churches.. we need OWNERSHIP and BUSINESSES that will produce wealth for us and provide for our own material needs.

ZIMBABWE… ZIMBABWE.. you wanna word that SOUNDS like YAHWEH.. then say ZIMBABWE.. that’s a country in Africa where a brave brutha fought a revolution against whites only rule then fell on his face unable to turn his victory over Rhodesian racist rule into prosperity, liberty, and freedom for his people. Every black home should get one of these 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe notes. The government is so collapsed that the currency of Zimbabwe is nearly worthless and inflation is in the millions of percent there. That means money is worth half of it’s value every six months. You need 50 trillion Zimbabwe dollars to make 8 bucks now. And we aren’t doing that much better in Detroit or Atlanta nowadays! Meanwhile.. we got a brutha in the White House… so watch how THIS brutha acts and then follow him. Look at him… he’s showing you how real fights are won. You don’t gotta grandstand and win all the time.. you get into the fight and even when your progress is slow you stick it out and keep working wit’ dem fools who are against you. Ultimately.. I believe Barack is going to win. He has the mind of a leader who will pull this out LONG TERM. Meanwhile. we got short termers who let go… let God and get left out!!!

F** Beyonce… Michelle Williams to DA FULLEST y’alls!

co-sign @ Kimberly

I totally agree with you. There is more than one way to carry out the Lord’s work. Different things work for different people.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. dis is wat church has came too. I can stay home for that shit

@ Just Sit and Be Pretty,

Hmmm, just what I thought. Thanks for proving my assumptions of you right.

All you ocean deep mother{explicit language} move me to tears. I almost felt…………..SOMEthing.

oh shit….lol

Wait. Why are we bringing up Zimbabwe? Is that Mugabe maniac still burning White people on their farms?

@Christmas, why so crytic, say what you have to say girl…you were so expressive earlier. LOL, don’t bite your tongue now…

@ Just Sit and Be Pretty,

LOL, *sigh*…you’re cute.

Well you know what they say: arguing online is like competing in the Special Olympics. Because even if you win, you’re still retarded.

Words to live by…

LMBOOOOOOOOO Omannnn if I showed this to my grandmother (who’s a pastor) she would probably just shake her head. but w/e it’s her congregation. and the song is kinda appropriate when you think about it: ‘If you liked it, you should’ve put a ring on it.’ That can inspire young women to stop shacking up, and if the men they are involved with aren’t making the proper commitment to them LEAVE!! lol FUN-NI STUFF!!! MADE MY NIGHT!!! =^]

LOL, must have been something I said. Someone once said, the truth hurts, and oh, here’s another…sarcasm is the wit of fools, and I tend to agree. *shrugging*

I am saddened. The times of the end are so near. I have NEVER, EVER in my life saw so many “so-called” Christians compromise the way we do now. We stand up for Holiness. We just let in and everything goes, no point of reference, no drawing the lines. We don’t realize that’s why Jesus came. That’s why He died. That’s why He shed His blood for us. He came to draw lines between His kingdom and Satan’s kingdom.

Jesus never, ever had to go and ask Satan to help HIM to win people to His kingdom. As a matter of fact, when Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness after Jesus had fasted for forty days, Jesus rebuked him. Now, we feel that in order to win people for Christ, we gotta have a “gimmick” or a “secret method” or a “hook.” NO!!!! The Word of God is powerful alone all by itself to win souls. God’s book never needs a gimmick. That’s why the Bible says He who winneth souls must be WISE!

The world uses “gimmicks” to lure and deceive you to join truth. Satan is the Father of Lies. Jesus said HE IS THE TRUTH AND THE WAY AND THE LIFE. Jesus does not DECEIVE people into coming to church by using worldly methods, why? That brings glory and honor to the devil!

We love to say HE TAKES WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR BAD AND TURNS IT TO GOOD!!!! LIE!!! I’m not saying I don’t agree with that phrase but it’s being used out of context. Jesus needs nothing from the devil! He stops the devil before he has an opportunity to pollute it.

People, WE CANNOT COMPROMISE. Surely, if the world thinks it’s strange for us to mix their songs with ours, then surely we oughtta know the difference!!!

@ De’Vincent…

G-d bless you. May His face shine down on you. I don’t EVER run into people that think like you…whoo, G-d gave me hope again today, lol.

WOW

I like it!!! All U “Single Ladies” should wait before U get your feelings hurt by some “fake” ass man…but U don’t have to necessarily have to wait if it’s 2 chicks

@De’Vincent

Who am I to challenge your beliefs? Stand strong, for it’s obvious you have full faith in your convictions….even if I don’t share them myself.

…of course, that is only if you follow the path in which you speak and are not just talking to talk.

@ CHRISTMAS JONES – Be encouraged. Sometimes even people around you who profess to be Christians will stagger and compromise along with the world but you have to STAND on the WORD OF GOD. And when you have a WORD from God and u know and understand what His Word says, you don’t have to worry about anyone backing you into a corner and shallowing you.

I’m never here to pick fights or argue with a particular individual, I’m here to attack the devil because he’s confusing people’s minds and deceiving their hearts. And the Bible says one of the greatest things that will occur in the last days will be THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION!!!! It’s happening all around us! Everywhere!!! So-called Christians are conforming to the WORLD and doing in and everything the WORLD is doing and doing it in the name of JESUS!!!!

No, we have to be different! God described His own as “pecuilar” people. Be encouraged, and thank you for being one of the ones who made a STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!

@ De’Vincent….

Thank you my brotha. So, so, so true. What we also have to remember is that of course no one is perfect, but at the same time, we need to pray for a spirit of discernment, to know right from wrong, to know right from left, to know G-d from satan.

It’s crazy, I have so many “Christian” friends that at times, I don’t even know what the difference between being saved is and being in the world is sometimes!!

But I do thank G-d for you. I was at the right place at the right time. It really is a struggle, but people like you give me tremendous hope. I’m so serious.

G-d bless you. Right on!

ok well a lot of you can say what you want…but hell yes!…and there shall be gasoline drawers in hell!….she had no right to be taking the Lords time into her own as such….but then again when it comes to religion everyone has their own opinion….today it’s all about fun and and not the whole truth….confusing people kids…that was play day…not church day…from what i saw atleast.

We know what message she’s trying to get across but damn! I know my grandmother’s turning over in her grave.

I’m ol’ school. There is no way you can convince me that shit like this is OK.

And————

If everbody’s soooooooooooo “Godlified” in this church, HTH are they so familiar with the song?

GTHOOH!! Stick to “At the Cross” and “N’er my God to thee.”

And

I’m goin’ up yonda.

Take me back.

Soon and very soon.

I made a vow.

Jesus will work it out.

Trouble in my way.

Walk around heaven.

lol is she serious. I guess to each its own, but this is not my type of church. I guess I could understand what she was trying to say but it could’ve been said in better ways and could’ve have been related more to the word. There’s plenty of good gospel songs that deal with the broken family, young girls getting pregnant, and young girls messing with fools. Problem is these songs are not known because they are not being taught. Least you could do is teach it in a church setting. You could hear Beyonce’s version all over the radio. Like I said not my cup of tea.

@Just Sit and Be Pretty
I agree with you. People think being religious is about how you dress and how much you don’t listen to secular music. Pure and undefiled religion is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress.

Was that Cedric The Entertainer?

LMAO @ 4:13 plz watch the wig. lol @youtube blogger

colored folks need to stop with this makeshift corner church foolishness, make me wanna put the catholics back over all this mess

It had a message she is telling all the single ladies to wait, that’s what young people listen to and if that’s what you have to do to get there attention so be it. Because young teens don’t want to hear nobody preach for 3 hrs, now a days it’s diff. sorry to say but it is,but I don’t know why people think that just because people listen to a certain type of music that makes someone more blessed than the other. I mean if CHRISTMAS JONES and De’Vincent are so holly why are they on BOSSIP reading celebrity gossip, I mean this is not the place for so called “good christians” and look at CHRISTMAS JONES picture… really BS they are talking out of their ass about what they think is right, but good never judged anybody or forced anybody about what they believed or how they praised him. As long as you believe in him and you consider yourself a christian and thank him for all he does for you, then to that’s a good christian, but im not GOD so I wouldn’t know. I really can’t stand ” so called christians” like CHRISTMAS JONES and De’Vincent because yall are hypocritical and only believe what you were taught was right, but thats not they way of the lored sorry, accepting the way other people worship and not being judgemental because it doesn’t fit your type of mold is the way of the LORD. GET A LIFE please. oh and STFU

wooooooooooow

If I want to listen to Beyonce or any likeness thereof, I’ll turn on the radio or drop some paper for her concert.

If I want to listen to some good old fashion Gospel music, I’ll gas up the Benz and head to Raleigh to hear Shirley Caesar.

Do I want to hear Shirley sing ANYTHING that remotely resembles secular music? NO!

Now If Bey wants to get her church on and sing some Gospel I’m all for it–as long as she’s not mixing garbage with it and shakin’ her ass like her life depends on it singing ’bout being on her way to heaven.

Preachers KILL me all up in the pulpit dropping “slang” and shit like they’re down with it!

IMHO–If you wish to be respected as a christian–walk, talk and act like one!

Don’t straddle the fense.

BTW–what ever happened to Rev. Ike with them damn red prayer cloths for $25.00?

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may sound colder than a whore’s heart or a dead witch’s titty but–it is what it is.

Nonsense, such as this, is one of the reasons I no longer attend church.

@ Christmas Jones

R u an undercover satanist??

Whats up with the G-d. U cant write GOD???

IT MAKES SENSE THAT SHE SUNG IT “IF YOU LIKE IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT”, isn’t it all about reaching the youth and preaching about marriage, at least beyonce puts it out mainstream, any man should definetley put a ring on it, dont you guys remember “the silver ring thing”

Seems like she is mocking the song and the concept of why there are so many single ladies living in todays world. Yeah he may have liked it and still does, but so did the 4 or 5 guys before him, and the 4 or 5 guys after him. Thats why he didn’t put a ring on it. Its pure irony, thats why she only sings OH OH OH OH OH OH ALL YOU SINGLE LADIES. Its about keeping you self for marriage and being honorable to yourself. Sometimes its not about what you like, its about how does what you like have anything more to offer. This song just happens to be relevant to the idea to marriage, and you can’t blame her for trying to stay hip.

Also, you have to remember that as spritual not RELLIGOUS christians, we have the power to prophecy to ourselves and others, and MOTHER WISDOM knows that what is coming out of the mouths of our teenagers is Beyonce’s song.
Secondly, NOW that Beyonce is FINALLY married she can sing that song. How long was she giving it to Jay-Z before he put a ring on it, and then you have to ask, is that how she got him?????? She should be more inspiring than “If you liked it you should have put on ring on it”. Not everybody has the privilge of singing and meeting one of the best rappers. Beyonce’ should be empowering our youth, but since she isnt, older and wiser people Like Mother Wisdom, are forced to bring it back home common ground.
Sometimes what we are arguing is not just about religion/spirituality and the world, its about mentoring, wisdom, and common sense. Who cares if she used a secular song in the church. Thats not the point of message and thats why so many people claim they leave the church, but do many of those same people stop and ask themselves did they do anything to turn what was wrong into something right. So you can’t criticize the people in the church for trying to reach the youth their way, because the ones who could have done a more effective job of reaching them, left the church because, “oh my God I can’t stand fake christians”. Everybody is fake, learn to overcome adversity, so that you can be the one to change it.

@ NIKKI

how are you saying Beyonce is not inspriring the youth, she is telling them to let him go if he’s not man enough to get married. You don’t know what happened in Jay and B’s relationship, maybe they got married because she was gonna leave his ass if he didn’t marry her. So please go sit down. Black people are always assuming some shit. Cuz I don’t see you singing and comming up with inspriring songs for the youth. If you don’t like become a damn song writer and inspire some damn body instead of bashing other artist by thinking they have the right to empower some damn body, they’re there to make money and entertain, your job is to INSPIRE the youth because you are the community, so PLEASE SIT DOWN

@ De’Vincent I feel what you are saying but u are judging how can you say whats going on there is wrong cuz she is saying all the Single Ladies?! She did not sing the whole song!! But at the same time u guys are on this site with nothing but ly’s on here I just don’t get it, thats not your place to say whats what,cuz she saying all the Single Ladies stand up whats ur point? Really u dont have one and all the ppl saying he’s right oh Please u will be the first one to Judgin someone Thats why u get on this website so Please stop all of that ,God is my everything But I don’t pass Judgement on no body.U ppl will the first one to say I hate Beyonce she sucks she’s not pretty so Please stop all of that!!! I love what that lady did ALL THE SINGLE LADIES NEED TO STAND UP!!!

It’s Just a Damn SONG!!!! Really Its Just a Song!!!! It’s not like it’s the end of the World ppl, If u dont like it, dont listen to it!!! It’s not that hard!!!!! Nikki I can tell u don’t even know what the song means I mean it’s not that hard. Sometimes women need to hear songs like this Strong songs that make u feel good about ur self saying u are worth more then that live him alone… So u mean if ur with a guy and u want to get married and thats not in his book, U going to stay with him or keep it moving???! I think ur going to keep it moving, and when he trys to come back, its to let u Should’ve Put A Ring On It!!! But it’s just a Song…How can U Judge somebodys art? Something they do for a living if it’s not ur cup of tea then don’t listen to it, I don’t listen to that shot them up bang bang music thats not my cup of tea but I cant judge them on there art!

OH NO SHE DIDNT!!!!! haha she took it there… you never know what you gon’ say when you’re feeling that holy ghost!!!! haha good for her… hilarious

LOL…we talked about this in church…

My pastor said he found it quite contradictory that she would sing that song providing it took Jay Z 7 years to put a ring on it…lol…

Just because people of God are in tuned with what’s in the world does not make them ungodly. We are not in the New Jerusalem yet so of course we know whats going on and are aware. If we weren’t, how else would we know how to prepare a proper defense for the enemy?

I agree with the overall message; WAIT!!! However, Beyonce’s message to the song is not about waiting. It’s about, we were together for 3 years doing the husband/wife thing and you never committed to me. So therefore since you won’t, I’m gonna start the process all over again via going to some club humpin, bumpin, and grindin on some other guy to make you jealous and provoke you to marry me that way (hence the, “i’m up on him, he up on me” part).

If Mother Wisdom found she could reach the younger congregation just by using one part of the song, and one part only, for the single ladies to wait then thats whatever. She was probably doing it to be funny…lol..I mean seriously, an old bitty singing a pop diva song…that’s hilarious.

…if the choir would have been singing it…beginning to end…then we’d have a problem…

I thought it was stupid, and I did not find it funny at all. I would never sit up and listen to a woman preacher. They only act like men trying to dog real men. She might as well had went old school and sung Bag Girls by Donna Summers. Besides with a leader looking like that, you know that church is full of ugly single women.

It’s amazing to me how far this has gone in both directions. “Mother Wisdom” is a christian comedienne. No offense was intended (shock maybe) and none was taken by the audience. It’s really that simple, but I’m getting ready to call her and tell her about all the furor she’s caused. For the record, there are a lot of “single ladies” in the church that need to wait. Single men too, but Jay-Z hasn’t come up with one for them yet…lol K.I.S.S.

Ignorant black bitches. nuff said

oh oh oh wait. lmao i can’t take it. no, but did you hear that loud person leading the choir… she was excited about that call and response. ahahaha

@ “Platinum” Vocals (rolls eyes)

People like you make me laugh. How are you trying to dictate what a true “Christian” should be when every other word you type is a curse word. THEN YOU TALK ABOUT STRADDLING A FENCE. Girl please. Sounds like you are sitting on barbed wire yourself. Imma need you to get it together and think about how ridiculous you sound.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I wish that was my preacher. I would come 2 church faithly everyday. I understand her message though.

____________________________________________________

I just KNEW some bitter bitch would be waiting in the wings to pounce!!!!

First of all—I NEVER mentioned ANYTHING about ME being a Christian! The lady Preacher is the one who professed that and If I remember clearly I commented on what I was bought up on and was used to.

Second–Out of all the posts to this thread, you picked mine to respond to. Although there were some similarities with mine and others, I’m flattered you picked mine to respond to with an attempt (although poor) to throw salt.

**sigh**

I’ma go lightly on you sweetheart ’cause I’m REALLY trying to turn over a new leaf and shit but I will type this–
Seems to me you’ve been waiting your turn so I’ll give you your spotlight.

Get it!
Got it!
Good!

Now—

Now wobble your ass BACK to the corner until I give you permission to respond!

Now back to your regulary scheduled BOSSIPing!

Slut!

And another thought ho—

If you’ve haven’t, (several times already) you’ll be back to see if I responded. (As if I wouldn’t)

Before you make a pitiful attempt at a comeback just know that you’d get more satisfaction and pleasure by putting your head between your legs an licking your clit than fukkin’ with me!

Don’t make this bigger than it is because I get some pleasure by checking chicks like you—cyber or otherwise!

Back the fukk up off me ’cause I’m really not the one!

Oh, and have a good evening!

Okay, DMARI,-oouch- don’t get so mad, it was just a one person comment, if you didn’t like it, then let it go. First I wasn’t judging or bashing Beyonce’, I was simply making a critical observation of her life from what we can see (which can be barely scratching the surface of who she is), but that is all we have to go from,- much like what many people are doing to Mother Wisdom. Secondly, How can you comment about me when you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about me. You know more about Beyonce than you do me. So really, how do you know that I am not inspiring my youth and community. How do you know I am not a song writer, neither one of us really know who we are talking to.

AND Fan of Bee- I give it to you, the song can be inspirational, but just because something isn’t my cup of tea dosen’t mean that i cant comment. I wasn’t talking about her art anyways, DID I SAY she couldn’t sing, singing is her art. I was talking about mother wisdom and why she was singing the song, as well as the song sending a different message, from the video its saying if you liked my body and the sex you should have put a ring on it, and that is why mother wisdom was trying to use the song as a metaphor for her sermon of purity and marriage, and why single women, may still be single. So I wouldn’t call the song necessarily inspirational. The song says you should have put a ring on it, but what does that mean to the relationship, some men do put a ring on it, and either stay engaged for many years,or are divorced within 3 years, or just committing adultery every chance they get. So in the end how does saying you should have put a ring on it really encourage women to give their man the ultimatum, if you prefer his love and believe you deserve it, say just that to him, and save your virginity and body until he does just that, puts a ring on it. But hey i do believe that too most, many,or some people the song is a strong and empowering song.
So While I WON”T SIT DOWN -DMARI-, I will leave the commenting to other commentors.

MEOWWWWWWW…Can’t we all just get along…lmbo and Christmas Jones why can’t you spell out GOD??? what’s up with the G-d…umhhh.

Welcome to the Jackpot joint church of Jerusalom. I am the Rev. Motown and this is Decon Def Jam. Today we are going to talk about Wisdom (that’s right) all you single ladies say ah oh ah ah oh oh. (amen preacher) Put a jimmy on it (that right) See ah when you ah squat ah I mean squirt, no no I mean squat you must make sure that you are squirting duh I mean squating for the right person. (you see) squating is an art, so when you squat make sure that you aren’t squirting (hmm thats right) because when you squirt and their aint no jimmy on it, you might get swollin. (thats right) (preach) And when you get swollin you should have a ring on it. (amen)

Many of you are misinterpreting this video and the message. This was a comedian of the church that addressing the women in the church. Beyonce’s single ladies was used in reference to 1 Corinthians 6 telling the women they should wait to commit adultery and wait to have sex before marriage. For those who are saved we all know the body is of the temple and once we commit sins like adultery against it we are being disobedient to God. We must “WAIT” on these things as Mother Wisdom states in her message.

I don’t see anything wrong with this. Some people don’t know how to discern what they watch. Some things are spiritually discerned and there is nothing she has done that was wrong. She told the single women to wait, which is what the word of God says they should do. Single women should not have sex unless they are married. I didn’t write it – God wrote it. Judge not least ye be judged, for what measure you meet out, it will be measured back to you. Weigh a whole matter before you put your mouth on it. Selah.

What the f*ck?
