Gospel Icons on the Las Vegas Strip: Why Now?
The Clark Sisters and Fred Hammond are headed to the Las Vegas Strip as part of a new gospel music residency. Nearly every story calls it historic or a milestone, as though the Holy Spirit had won something by landing in a casino district built to separate tourists from their money. Jesus spent much of His time warning people about confusing God with money. This residency is only the latest example of how Christianity in general, and the Black Church in particular, have twisted the Gospel. If there was one thing Jesus made crystal clear, it was that faith wasn't supposed to be a hustle. Today, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between Christianity and Cash Money Records. Christians have drunk the world's Kool-Aid and started believing that if the market validates it, God must have too.
