Pastor Fired For Attending Rick Ross's Concert. by Nobody: 8:54am On Aug 15, 2013 |
The man in the center of this picture is Pastor Rodney Wills, who was recently fired as pastor of a church for attending a Rick Ross concert. The church fired the 26-year-old pastor for attending a concert by a rapper it believes is "tearing down the kingdom of God." Wills had been preaching for four years at Mt. Salem Baptist Church in North Carolina and was the youngest pastor the 109-year-old church ever had. But after Wills attended a concert by Rick Ross, a former corrections officer turned rapper who is often associated with controversy, the church deacons voted him out. The church's Deacon Miles Langley said, "We cannot have our leader supporting people of this world who are tearing down the kingdom of God." According to Langley, this wasn't the first time the young pastor attended a musical performance. Nine months previously, Wills was warned about his attendance of a Lil' Wayne concert. "We know that many saints will have mixed opinions from our actions, but this is not how we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor praising the world one minute then praising the Lord the next. Period." Rick Ross, probably best-known for his hit song Hustlin', was widely criticized earlier this year for having lyrics in a song which many people believed to be a praise of rape.
