    I'm told by sources that he was being considered as the next senior pastor if something happened to Joel. He has a huge Hispanic following in that area. It likely wont happen now. A lot of gospel singers start from humble beginnings but I think that a mixture of fame, money, people worshipping them, not getting enough rest for their soul, the pressure to perform and not enough TRUE accountability takes it to.

    His wife co-wrote a lot of his great songs. I hate what she's having to endure

    I didn't listen to him as a worship leader very much but there were a few songs I liked... I read his book, A Deeper Level and did the 40 day media fast it taught on and found it very challenging and beneficial.

    It grieves me to see yet another famous Christian do things that conflicts with the life and example Christian leadership should set.

    I'm just wondering which Mega Church will offer him a job now, 'cause y'all know his "little mistake" shouldn't prevent him from operating in his gifts, right?

    I'm thinking he'll either end up at another (mega) Church, or he'll start his own - And trust me, it will be PACKED!!!

    Seems like Lakewood is backtracking on the prior statement (?)

    After news that Grammy-winning gospel singer Israel Houghton was now in a relationship with mainstream artist Adrienne Bailon, tabloid reports claimed that he was fired from his position as worship leader at Pastor Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston. The singer, however, took to social media to debunk those claims.

    "I truly love @joelosteen & my gracious Lakewood family. Here is their official statement. I have not been fired. Treasure of my heart & of my soul. In my weakness You are merciful. Redeemer of my past & present wrongs. Holder of my future days to come...," Houghton posted on Facebook along with a link to Lakewood's official statement concerning him.

    Houghton served as lead worship leader at the Houston-based megachurch for many years and has since become a leading name in Christian music. Although he will not be leading at the church during this time, the megachurch says he was not fired.

    "We can confirm that Israel is on indefinite leave, but it is important to clarify that we still consider Israel to be a part of the Lakewood family and that his employment has not been terminated," Lakewood Church said Thursday in a statement.

    Where does it say he's on "paid leave?"
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    It doesn't. Hence the question mark after 'paid leave'. :)

    It was the comment after the question, that made it appear a statement more than a question.

    It was more of, IF they are still paying him, and he's on indefinite leave, then where I come from they call that a vacation.

    You know kinda like someone 'suspended with pay'. I wish someone would suspend me with pay for the rest of my life.
