PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, BRINGING BACK GOD, MARIETTA & BRISTOL, does throw back sermons from his favorite preachers. One of them is David Wilkerson. David Wilkerson did his ministry among the heroin addicts and gangs of New York City in the 1960s. He had a hard time getting started, but by faith in God and listening to God's will, he was able to begin a ministry that continues today. PASTOR JOHN COLLINS tells of the time when one of the gang members was given the offering basket. The gang member took other members and they collected a large amount of money from the crowd. They all went back stage, and when they were called out, they didn't come at first. But, they did eventually. The gang member told David Wilkerson that he never had anyone trust him like that before: he was judged to be not trustworthy because of his gang membership.
Jesus says "judge not lest ye be judged". PASTOR JOHN COLLINS preaches that we are not different from one another: we are all sinners that need to find the path to the cross. Our sins make us the same, whether we are bankers, professionals, bikers, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons. We fall short of the glory of salvation. Are your clothes ragged? Are they expensive Armani suits? Do you have gauges in your ears? Do you wear spiked high heels? Do you have tattoos? It doesn't matter, because we all are the same in the eyes of the Lord. Don't judge someone because he has a tattoo of a tear at the corner of his eye. Don't gossip about them behind their back. Judging is not for us, that is for God and Jesus. Gossip is a sin, just like murder and adultery, God does not see it any differently. Sin is sin. Nothing is greater than the other according to PASTOR JOHN COLLINS.
