Bishop Eddie Long Is Now Featured On The Cover Of Gospel Today Magazine Amid Criticism

Online, November 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Gospel Today Magazine is standing behind its decision to feature Bishop Eddie Long on the cover the magazine for the month of December. Many have called the featured cover an attempt to spin the scandal surrounding Bishop Eddie Long and present him on a more positive light.

The Preacher Bureau of Investigations (www.PimpPreacher.com) says that the bulk of the criticism is due to the fact the Bishop Eddie Long sits on the Board of Advisors for Gospel Today and has been very instrumental in the marketing success of the gospel magazine.

Gospel Today released a statement defending their position to feature Bishop Eddie long amid criticism that the print and online publication is in fact a public relations tool for rich and famous Pastors.

"The Word of God teaches us that God is love; and far too many times we have been unbalanced and unloving-all in the name of a God who not only loves, but loves unconditionally and restores sinners-us included. Whether Bishop Long is guilty or not; whether the young men are guilty or not, the BODY OF CHRIST must handle this situation according to the Word of God! The mainstream press has painted a hideous picture; some have even called for Bishop Long's resignation! They're not even members!!

Gospel Today did not explore the legalities or the issues; we presented a biblical perspective-something no other outlet gave."

According to the publications own website Bishop Eddie Long is in fact the Chairman of the Board of Advisors for Gospel Today. Bishop Eddie Long is joined on the Board of Advisors by Bishop T.D Jakes, and Pastor Paula White.
