"Bishop" Weeks turns himself in

"Bishop" Thomas weeks III has turned himself in to the Fulton County jail in Atlanta on charges he attacked his estrenaged wife, "prophetess" Juanita Bynum (via Newsday):

Officer Ronald Campbell said earlier this week that Weeks choked Bynum, then "pushed her down to the ground and started to kick her and also stomp on her."

Police said Weeks was pummeling Bynum outside the Rennaisance Concourse Hotel when a hotel employee intervened.

Weeks left the scene and police issued warrants for his arrest on charges of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. Bynum was treated for her injuries at Piedmont Hospital.

Weeks was arraigned Friday at the Fulton County jail on those charges, Polite said.

Weeks, accompanied by an attorney, John Garland, posted $40,000 bail and was released. He is due back in court Sept. 7.

It is truly a shame that so many people who don't know Christ look at these people as being what Christianity is about: getting all you can in this life, and all that nonsense about "GOD wants you to be rich." Now, these who have elevated themselves to such a prominent position in the public eye have given the world another reason to blaspheme His name.

Question: Since these "prosperity" preachers say that by following Christ, you won't have any problems in your health/finances/marriage unless you have some sin to repent from or you are under a curse, which is it for Bynum and Weeks?

Oh, and get this--Who does Weeks hire for an attorney, but a guy who has made his name defending murderers and their accomplices (via Atlanta Journal-Constitution):

Weeks has retained two lawyers: the well-known [Edward] Garland, who in the past has represented NFL star Ray Lewis in his murder trial and millionaire James Sullivan, who ordered the murder of his socialite wife...

Of course, that may have something to do with the people the good "bishop" has listed under his "friends" section of his MySpace page:

Sean P. Puffy Puff Diddy Daddy Combs
Halle Barry Fan Club
Rihanna
Joss Stone
T.I (from Outkast)
Toni Braxton
Beyonce
Black Eyed Peas
Joss Stone
Common
Jay-Z
...and the list goes on

With the influence of people like this around him, it appears that "Bishop" Weeks is trying to walk with one foot in the World, and one foot in the Kingdom. Trying, that is. Because this is impossible. You are either in the World, or you are in the Kingdom. Luke 16:13--"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." And "Bishop" Weeks is finding this out the hard way.
