Chicago-based Internet preacher and U.S. Army veteran Marcus Rogers was not happy with Perry, who spoke in tongues and publicly anointed Bishop T.D. Jakes with prayer after donating $1 million to a youth center planned by the pastor in 2013.

“This behavior is unbiblical, and this behavior reminds me of what the Bible warns about. If you want to know why I do what I do, the Bible tells the watchmen, when you see something and you stand on that wall and don’t say anything, the blood will be on your hands. The Bible says to cry loudly and spare not,” Rogers said in a critique of the videos on YouTube.

“We make excuses in the black community all the time because we idolize the culture. We place culture above the Kingdom. If someone is black and successful and says they’re Christian, you know we can’t talk bad about anything that’s going on, but that’s what’s going on,” he continued.

“Tyler Perry doesn’t have oil and unfortunately when I saw that other clip of him throwing money at the stripper, it made me think of that clip,” he added, highlighting a recording of Perry anointing TD Jakes in 2013 at Pastor Potter’s house. Residential megachurch in Dallas, Texas.

“There are a lot of people in that church. It’s scary. Everyone there cutting each other like the Spirit was flowing through Tyler Perry. But you know, I always knew, even back then, that Tyler Perry didn’t have oil like that. You could tell from some of the content he was putting out. And that makes the church look bad.”

Addressing Kirk Franklin’s performance at the concert, Rogers said he believes Franklin wants to be a secular artist.

“Kirk, I feel like this is what Kirk Franklin really wants to do and wants to be, and that’s why he’s dancing,” he said. “(The) Bible says not to love the world. Leave the world and separate yourself.”
