“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” - Proverbs 28:13
Bishop Bobby Davis dropped dead in
church! I should just leave it at that. Preaching out of Bridgeport,
Connecticut since the late 1960's. Davis who has a master's degree in
theological studies, a doctorate degree in ministry, and is a
certified marriage and family therapist was taken to the hospital and
pronounced dead. Now, he didn't die because he was jumping around and
screaming and people are want to do. He died after making a
confession about infidelity.
Now, before any of you say anything
regarding the word “karma” look it up. Hopefully then you'll stop
using it improperly. Bishop Davis' wife Christine Davis, who he had been
married to for 50 years, was told about his stepping out ways and
told him that he needed to tell the church about it. I would have
been like “Uh, yeah. But no.” Davis asked his congregation to
stay around after service because he had something to say. He
admitted to an affair to his people and then all hell broke loose.
Not literally.
Someone who was there said “He wanted
to come clean with all of us. He wanted to ask our forgiveness.”
Now, it is not being said when the affair happened. Just that it had.
Then the rage party began. It is being reported that it wasn't the
church that went off on him, but his own kids. “It got physical.
One of the sons attacked him. I was told one of the daughters poured
water on him. It was like something out of not even like the Old
Testament but a bad reality TV show. My heart is so devastated
because it could have been handled in a private manner” this
unnamed source said.
Another witness said “We were
shouting 'We forgive you; we love you', but the stress of all of
it...he had a heart attack. I held his head as he lay on the
floor...Our congregation is hurting now.” Police came to check
things out and started interviewing people. There is even video of
this that the police took away that will eventually show up online
somehow. Wow. Someone must feel bad. Maybe the kids who went off on
him. Maybe the wife who told him to give this a try. Maybe the woman
he messed around with who you just know was sitting there at the
service just waiting for someone to notice how bad she was sweating.
If I was there when this was happening I like to think that I would've just gotten up and left. I trust the animal side of myself and I would be able to feel some shit about to go down. Then I would've gotten pissed later when someone said “Oh, you should've stayed!” But seriously, this should have been handled at home. No need to bring that out in church.
