one of gods best...all young preachers should study sound homiliticians like curtis and avoid this contemporary bafoonery unfolding in pulpits today!

[matthew5and9]

I feel you on that, I love this style.

William Curtis is an exegetical mastermind. He has the ability to see stuff in the text that most preachers can't see. Preach Doc!!!

This man is annoited. I knew him when he was at New Psalmist Baptist Church. His pledging of a fraternity has nothing to do with his ability to deliver the word of GOD. Stop looking to point out things that don't matter.

Check out youtube video called "Fraternities are nothing but gangs" by Pastor Tony Smith. Also check out youtube video "Discussing fraternities and freemasons". These videos discuss how silly it is for pastors such as this one that pledge for fraternities. Now many pastors may have pledged before becoming a pastor but this person "PLEDGED" his allegiance 2 a GREEK fraternity after he supposedly "PLEDGED" his service to God.He is Omega Psi Phi-u cannot serve heaven and the world. WWJD or say?

@misspitt09 I have had people approach me n years past advising me that this person was committing adultery & I would get so defensive because he was my pastor & I believed n his annointing.It was out of the ordinary for me 2 get upset but I would b awfully close when these statements were mentioned 2 me.I felt they were attempting to soil my spirit.I am not validating peoples statements as the truth but just saying I used to foolishly attempt to defend his non sense as well until i woke up.

I remember being in church and this pastor said"I got money!" "I am trying to teach you all how to get some money!" Like an idiot I laughed it off as I had laughed off so many ridiculous things that this person have stated.I tried to look past some of his statements but I had to wake up-finally.Here it is we give our money to the church and the church pays his salary and perks-he then arrogantly acts like we owed him money.This person is full of something that stinks &you know what this is.

@bclassof2013... the fact that you took so much time to bash anybody says a lot about YOUR character and indicates that you are little more than... shall we say.. a hater. I attend school in pittsburgh and have tried multiple churches, but it wasn't until i went to mt. ararat and heard Pastor Curtis that i knew i had finally found a place to sincerely worship. He's not perfect, no one is, but he is sincere and truly anointed. You question the budget assuming that all 8000 members give regularly

THANK YOU

Lets be realistic the church does need $ to operate to a certain level but how much?He is wants a new building for what.A church is love,GOD,worship not just a beautiful building.U could be in a tent in the park & if you want to worship GOD that is all that matters so we know that these new buildings are not about GOD but about the pastor's ego.If U listen closely he reveals his ego quite often.Stop drinking the koolaid & wake up, this pastor runs a business not GOD's house.Big Pimpin!

[bclassof2013]

if mt ararat boast to have about 8000 members and let us say every member on average gives $5 (this is a low ball figure to account for those that give more and some that do not give at all).On a weekly basis of tithes and offerings 8000x$5=$40000 then $40000x52weeks in a year=over $2million per year.The mortgage has been completely paid off for a few years now so where does this money go?10%is stated to go to community but this still leaves you with taxfree $2mill year.this is an underestimate?

[bclassof2013]

A few times he had given sermons about his money being short(being broke).I don't mind if pastors make money but try not to insult the intellegence of the congregation.Is his money short because of his $100k's salary?Does the church take care of some of his expenses?Does he get gifts from the church?While you are struggling to earn a living he is probably leaving his expensive Sewickley home to go golfing all day.life is good for pastor but what about you?
