Houston, We Have a Problem

When
Jesus said, “And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.” (Matthew
18:9) - He was speaking metaphorically, in parables, it really
means resist evil. But R & B singer Houston took it literally.
The Los Angeles born
Houston
Summers said; “Music
is what I thirst for you know as well as God.”
and had a hit last year with, “I Like That” featuring Chingy
and Nate Dogg. But Houston found the music business to be seeped in
wickedness and sought to remove the devil’s presence, by gouging out his
eye.
His security guard claims Houston
is “happy” now and feels closer to God. I think if you still have your
sanity in the New World Order, you must be mad, but this case is a sad
indictment of what society is doing to a generation. The Love of God does
not involve self-mutilation or loathing, but people are in confusion.
That the record industry is
corrupt is not in question. You must sell your soul to Satan for recognition
and many are willing. For a chosen few, this is too high a price for fame
and fortune, but if thine eye offend thee, do not pluck it out, close it…
and turn your thoughts to God.
