As the one who ordained him. Bishop Morton HAD a responsibility to to do this. Had he answered his phone calls this biblical demonstration of rebuking him openly would NOT have had to be done. No one has more authority to do this more than your spiritual leader/person who ordained you
He is one of the Godly Pastors who I haven't heard sugar coat Eddie Longs behavior, instead he spoke out of Godly love and urged that man to repent!!!💯
I love that Bishop Morton said that we have to trust God with the consequences of our actions. Often that's easier said than done, especially when it involves people of authority and prestige.
well GOD ain't gonna take anything. Young Lady you forfeit your blessing. Like Saul gave up his kingship behind his own purpose. You know that already. plus read what JESUS say about people that bothers children!!!!
Bishop Morton, Bishop Morton!!! I have been listening to you for years... Since the very first CD, I went to your leadership conferences here in New Orleans.. You are awesome!! Thank you for following the WORD!!! you have spoken justly...and when GOD is with you, you go before people boldly!!! I thank you bishop!!!
Excellent teaching from Bishop Paul Morton! He followed God word, shared is concern & love, by rebuking according to the word. I am thankful for this action & great display of correct leadership! I want him on my team in Jesus name
What he said is true. You dont have to confess once the settlement is done but you do have an obligation to apologize for any embarrasment you may have caused those who trust and care about you.
Us saints wanna make it to Heaven thats what we live for.....Bishop Morton wants to make sure that we all can rejoice there one day....love this message Bishop
When I was a babe in Christ I was so impressed while watching this man on TV. Then one day he was involved in a scandal. I didn't dig further to find out the details of the scandal but I remember feeling sorry for Pastor Morton (for at the time he wasn't a Bishop). Some time had gotten in between and as the controversy passed I was so relieved to find out that he had obtained mercy. Father...I am sure that Eddie Long's soul is crying out Psalms 25:16. Please have mercy & hear his cry
For those of you who don't know about ministry and ordination. Bishop morton is in right standing to rebuke bishop long because he ordain (through the leading of christ) Eddie long as bishop.
Father, in the name of JESUS , I pray that you cover and keep every man of God. For Your thoughts are so far above what we can ever think, I pray that every step ,every deed /action and word is ordered by you Father.That you get the Glory,Honor/Praise
If more preachers would call out their peers, there wouldnt be so many church scandals. It IS the church's job to hold men and women accountable in leadership. But most turn away from it. Thats why we have pimppreacher online
Done with class and intergrity according to the Word and with the LOVE of a spiritual father with open arms just like the prodigal son was welcomed by his father, and the backing of his congregation along with the body of Christ. I give God the praise that you have shown the love and DISCIPLINE work, walk and God-like character of a spiritual father. Amen
I normally don't agree with many preachers on many things but Bishop Morton is doing the right thing according to the scriptures and as a Presiding Bishop/Spiritual father.
Forgive Bishop Eddie Long, but he still needed to step down as a pastor and recommit his life to God and get his soul right, if he did these things... How can you preach God's word, yet your soul isn't right with God??? Beware of false prophets my people.
@@jameshaw9187 ooops I should've put needed. My bad. Oh and it's been 3 years and 8 months, not 4 years since he died.. I just realized he preached this waaaaay before Long' s death, but some people respond late....
PRAISE GOD FOR BISHOP MORTON!!!!! HE IS EXACTLY RIGHT!!!! I'm SO glad to finally see someone come out and do this! I agree with "Covering" the Man of God, but the Church cannot be TRULY effective until we stop "COVERING UP" what needs to be exposed and dealt with. Bless you Bishop Morton...Praying for you Bishop Long.
"If you have repented, so me some signs. Show me some humility. ....Tell us something." - Bishop P. Morton I so agree. But they dont talk to the people because they dont feel like they owe them an explanation. High-mindedness. Bishop Morton is rebuking----(applause) He, some years ago, removed another from the fellowship of the Full Gospel Church. (applause) Stand Bishop and all those who do the same. To those who have sinned and offended, REPENT, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
Wooow.... Bishop Morton wow.. I ain't mad at u... I still love bishop long and will still support his ministry God gave him... Gift & callings come without repentance... So who am I to judge but I do agree with bishop Morton..
This message is soothing because it's scripturally-based and truthful. One thing I would like to add: We should be also discussing healing for the young men who were victimized because it's not just about a pastor being embarrassed in the media and/or the church being seen in a negative light and all that. We need to remember those who we should have been helping were harmed. What about them? Be blessed.
Amen, Bishop Morton. The message he presents here is correct, needed, and Biblical. The message comes from a place of love and concern regarding his friend and colleague in the ministry. We as Christians must know the Word for ourselves and how to apply it our lives and to edify others.
Amen Bishop, Church people are always covering up. God is the one who expose sin. A spiritual leader cannot continue to hurt others and get away with it. If we committ a crime should we pay the price? Real people are getting hurt. If we do not do anything they will only go to the next person. What if it was your son or daughter that was victimize. That is true love when you tell your brother or sister the truth.
It is about rather it is true or not but about Accountability and Responsibility as a leader! We don't choose the times we stand as leaders when things are going good but even in the bad times! God can heal, deliver and restore! All have sin and come short of the Glory! How we respond to it is key!
Yeah... the message and Saving Grace of THE GOSPEL; but done with the humility and LOVE, that CHRIST commands. SOLI DEO GLORIA 🕊️☮️✌️ (To GOD Alone, Be The Glory)
I didn't choose Christianity because it "makes me happy". I chose Jesus because He is the only one who overcame death, and is alive to save me. Everyone else claiming to be a "savior" is dead, or is dying, ready to face the judgement... One day, we will all see Him, who was pierced for our iniquities, face to face. Some to be cast into outer darkness, and others to be with him forever in glory. Everyone has that choice....
AMEN BISHOP!!! I was wondering when someone was gonna stand-up a say something. This is RIDICULOUS!!! God bless you sir. You are a TRUE man of God, a GENERAL in the Kingdom. I respect you for the TRUTH. The bible says we rebuke those we love. That is TRUE love.
@ THE LIGHT GREAT SCRIPTURE ! I LOVE YOUR REPSONSE !!!!! DYING FOR CHRIST IF YOUR SON HAD BEEN MOLESTED BY BISHOP YOU WOULDNT BE DEFENDING HIM BUT BECAUSE ITS SOMEBODYELSES SON YOU ARE DEFENDING HIM! MAN SOMEBODY HAD TO HOLD BISHOP LONG ACCOUNTABLE
I wish folks really knew the word of God before they comment on biblical interpretations. Bishop Morton is correct in his plea and statement to Bishop Long. Our personal reasoning does not erase the written word of God. Every Pastor is 1st obligated to God.But each Pastor has a leader. Bishop Long must openly repent and acknowledge sin. God forgives our sins. Keep on praying folks.
This message is for everyone. Many have had abortions, committed adultery, lied, stolen, etc...all in secret AND with no repentance. Eddie Long needs to repent but, again, so do zillions of others. I love what this pastor is saying. More importantly, I sincerely appreciate that he lining this edict up with the word of God. Again, it is a message for ALL..including me. GOD BLESS!!
Bishop is not wrong for addressing this matter to the church (Matthew 18:15-17). Matthew 18:17 states "If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector"(TNIV). I believe if Eddie would have answered his phone then Paul wouldn't have told the church.
Gal 6:1-2 .. help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. We are to rebuke one another when one of us sins, but be quick to forgive when he or she repents. In the community of faith each is to find forgiveness and support to live a godly life. Accept responsibility to care about one another’s walk with God. Other’s may stumble often, but in the community of faith each is to find forgiveness and support to live a godly life.
Since when did committing a sin become a mistake? Sometimes we use God's season of grace to remain in our state of PRACTICING SINS. Only when we're caught in it, then it becomes a MISTAKE. (1st Peter 4:1-19) Those who have suffered with Christ is done with (PRACTICING ) sim. Of course people r still capable of committing a sin because we're still inside this flesh tent. However, we do have the POWER OF CHOICE to say NO to sin. Amy follower of Christ should have self control which is one of the fruits of the spirit (Gal. 5:22). Greater is the power of God who's living inside me than any other power in the world (1st John 4:4). sin is not a mistake. A mistake is a misunderstanding, miscalculation, error based false information. clearly if u'r teaching others the right way to behave ten surely u know right from wrong. When the covers r pulled off u doing the opposite of what ur're teaching,m it's not a mistake. it's sin . u got caught sooner than you thought you would. We all need prayer and we need to practice what we preach. This is how we bring glory to our creator.
Praying4unow we all have done something wrong in the past, because we didn't go out in repent to the world and repented behind close doors. that doesn't mean that we have not been forgiving.
First of all Bishop Morton isn't just speaking for himself. I don't see how anyone could take this mini sermon as a jab. This is tough love. He was stating the obvious since the settlement was already made. He was giving Bishop Long guidance to keep his congregation from falling apart while extending support by saying that he will speak on his behalf. He created this video in an effort to help Bishop Long to continue to save and to keep souls in his church. That's just it.
This is for everybody,including this preacher! Moses,Jonah, David, Peter, etc., all were men who disobeyed God in some degree. None were ever sat down neither did God Himself hinder them from their task or calling. When you disobey along the way God deals with you accordingly but you MUST carry out His will. His will isnt about you but completing the task is most important. If all these men were living amongst us today, they would be judged just like our preachers today.
This is a topic that obviously HAS TO be addressed! It's something that effects us all, becaus eWE ALL at some point have messed up, the only difference is, is that the covers were pulled off of Long's stuff, while our mess remains under the covers...for now.
Great Message, Bishop Morton. It is serious for those who committed sins in their lives. Dedicated to Bishop Long. I am not trying to defend or support him because of the rumors that happened a year back.
he told you something... he told you he didn't do it.... it is what it is... you can't push the issue if he tells you he didn't do nothing wrong. . no matter how much we thought he did it
@ADAMOLOGY almost exactly what i'm feeling word for word. Regardless of how strong our feelings maybe towards a certain individual or situation that's in the media concerning a part of the Body of Christ, we still have to be careful with the issue of pride....thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought. We all have issues that we struggle with daily. What if someone put the spotlight on your mess that's covered under the the blood? What would you do? Me, well I would be very uncomfortable.
As a Pastor I would not have done this because it is NOT mine to sit in judgment of another nor to condemn another but to Restore such an one in the spirit of meekness lest I also be Tempted! I love both brother's but this message will be seen by the world as infighting in the Body of Christ! Trust me!
Bishop Morton is 100 percent RIGHT!!! And just so we understand the word repent is not a call to confess our sins. It is a call to turn away from them. Bishop Long is on a very public platform and this brought even more scrutiny upon the Body of Christ...Bishop Long owes the Body and apology and as Bishop Morton asked for, SAY SOMETHING! Settling the case already admits his guilt- now he needs to apologize and stop sexually abusing little boys...
I was unaware that Bishop Morton, actually ordained Bishop Long.... so if anyone has the right to rebuke Bishop Long it's Bishop Morton!!
As the one who ordained him. Bishop Morton HAD a responsibility to to do this. Had he answered his phone calls this biblical demonstration of rebuking him openly would NOT have had to be done. No one has more authority to do this more than your spiritual leader/person who ordained you
I LOVE BISHOP MORTON TOO! HE STUCK WITH THE WORD AND DID IT WITH LOVE! PREACH!!!!
He is one of the Godly Pastors who I haven't heard sugar coat Eddie Longs behavior, instead he spoke out of Godly love and urged that man to repent!!!💯
This was one of the most loving messages ever on such a sensitive matter. I have constantly followed Bishop Morton, and he can sang!!!😅🤣
Open the flood gates of heaven. Let it rain 💜💛🕎
I feel what this brother saying. The wisdom in this message moved me. Eddie should have listened to him. Very wise.
Wowwww! I can’t believe I never saw this before!
This is the perfect example of teaching in grace & LOVE. Bless u Bishop Morton forever more!
THANKS so much pastor. you're the first one to say what NEEDED to be said.
I respect this 💯. You can't forgive somebody who doesn't repent. Sweet 💜💛🕎
I love that Bishop Morton said that we have to trust God with the consequences of our actions. Often that's easier said than done, especially when it involves people of authority and prestige.
God does not take his gifts away for a person even when they sin. However, as a Bishop, you got to be called out on you sin. Bishop Morton was right!
well GOD ain't gonna take anything. Young Lady you forfeit your blessing. Like Saul gave up his kingship behind his own purpose. You know that already. plus read what JESUS say about people that bothers children!!!!
Bishop Morton, Bishop Morton!!! I have been listening to you for years... Since the very first CD, I went to your leadership conferences here in New Orleans.. You are awesome!! Thank you for following the WORD!!! you have spoken justly...and when GOD is with you, you go before people boldly!!! I thank you bishop!!!
About time someone did this! I applaud Bishop Morton because it takes courage to do and say the right thing. His message was right on point!
Excellent teaching from Bishop Paul Morton! He followed God word, shared is concern & love, by rebuking according to the word. I am thankful for this action & great display of correct leadership! I want him on my team in Jesus name
What he said is true.
You dont have to confess once the settlement is done but you do have an obligation to apologize for any embarrasment you may have caused those who trust and care about you.
I love Bishop's message. We can all apply it to our everyday life. Repent daily no matter who you are. I'm glad I heard it.
This is an honorable man and truly cared for Eddie Long by telling him the truth in love
Us saints wanna make it to Heaven thats what we live for.....Bishop Morton wants to make sure that we all can rejoice there one day....love this message Bishop
Bishop Morton is right!

I remember once this guy had some type of problem..he spoke it aloud and asked for forgiveness
WOW Bishop Paul Morton has spoken a heartfelt message for Eddie Long now this is brotherly love!!!!
Thank you Bishop Morton for having a PAIR
I normally don't agree with many preachers on many things but Bishop Morton is doing the right thing according to the scriptures and as a Presiding Bishop/Spiritual father.
God Bless you Bishop Morton... Love my pastor!
Bless you Bless you Bless You! Bishop Paul Morton thank you for this awesome sermon...
A public apology at least for all the confusion and strife God is not in the midst of all the Foolishness.
Forgive Bishop Eddie Long, but he still needed to step down as a pastor and recommit his life to God and get his soul right, if he did these things... How can you preach God's word, yet your soul isn't right with God??? Beware of false prophets my people.
So true!
Ummmm you guys do know he died 4 years ago????
@@jameshaw9187 ooops I should've put needed. My bad. Oh and it's been 3 years and 8 months, not 4 years since he died.. I just realized he preached this waaaaay before Long' s death, but some people respond late....
Amen Bishop!!! Thank you for telling us the TRUTH on how God would have us to handle this situation as the Body of Christ.
PRAISE GOD FOR BISHOP MORTON!!!!! HE IS EXACTLY RIGHT!!!! I'm SO glad to finally see someone come out and do this! I agree with "Covering" the Man of God, but the Church cannot be TRULY effective until we stop "COVERING UP" what needs to be exposed and dealt with.

He is telling the whole truth...
YOU sir have the Holy Spirit! I will see you there,God bless.
Yeah... the message and Saving Grace of THE GOSPEL; but done with the humility and LOVE, that CHRIST commands.
SOLI DEO GLORIA 🕊️☮️✌️
(To GOD Alone, Be The Glory)
I have much respect for Paul Morton....when we do wrong we must repent. I have done wrong in God eyes plz JESUS forgive me.
I didn't choose Christianity because it "makes me happy". I chose Jesus because He is the only one who overcame death, and is alive to save me. Everyone else claiming to be a "savior" is dead, or is dying, ready to face the judgement...
One day, we will all see Him, who was pierced for our iniquities, face to face. Some to be cast into outer darkness, and others to be with him forever in glory.
Everyone has that choice....
Let him who is without sin....cast the first stone. All of our hands should be behind our backs.
AMEN BISHOP MORTON!!!!! COME ON NOW!!! U GAT IT!
AMEN BISHOP!!! I was wondering when someone was gonna stand-up a say something. This is RIDICULOUS!!! God bless you sir. You are a TRUE man of God, a GENERAL in the Kingdom. I respect you for the TRUTH. The bible says we rebuke those we love. That is TRUE love.

AMEN!!! no not a 2nd.chance But another chance, He,s already given us all, more than 2 chances...
Bishop is not wrong for addressing this matter to the church (Matthew 18:15-17). Matthew 18:17 states "If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector"(TNIV). I believe if Eddie would have answered his phone then Paul wouldn't have told the church.
That was good Bishop Morton. I agree sir.
How do you restore someone that doesn't acknowledge they have fallen???
Gal 6:1-2 .. help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. We are to rebuke one another when one of us sins, but be quick to forgive when he or she repents. In the community of faith each is to find forgiveness and support to live a godly life. Accept responsibility to care about one another’s walk with God. Other’s may stumble often, but in the community of faith each is to find forgiveness and support to live a godly life.
Finally...I was seriously getting worried because it seemed like nobody was speaking up ,PUBLICLY!!!
you are right bishop Morton ..repent and forgive
Since when did committing a sin become a mistake? Sometimes we use God's season of grace to remain in our state of PRACTICING SINS. Only when we're caught in it, then it becomes a MISTAKE.

Biblically sound and very correct.

Well balance message. Thanks for the post.
P Martin has a history also. People from New Orleans can vouch for that
What he saying may be true how he said it and when may not jave been the best way. Please lord touch the heart of the Bishop
Here in 2024
This is a topic that obviously HAS TO be addressed! It's something that effects us all, becaus eWE ALL at some point have messed up, the only difference is, is that the covers were pulled off of Long's stuff, while our mess remains under the covers...for now.
I was waiting for this. Alright Bishop.
@dominickteaches This was preached in love! Bishop Morton is an inspiration!
Great Message, Bishop Morton. It is serious for those who committed sins in their lives. Dedicated to Bishop Long. I am not trying to defend or support him because of the rumors that happened a year back.
he told you something... he told you he didn't do it.... it is what it is... you can't push the issue if he tells you he didn't do nothing wrong. . no matter how much we thought he did it
He never said he didn’t do it which was the issue. He said… and I quote, “I’m not the man they say I am.” That’s vague.
iLOVE IT
AND i AGREE!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Yes it's Biblical!
Bishop Morton did his part. AMEN.
I agree with pastor Morton
I love it!!!
Bishop Morton is very right!!
John 8:7 - ...let he that is without sin, cast the first stone.
