"Yet none of the secular stars is as daring as Tri-City singer's
director Donald Lawrence, who dons two earrings."
"Does your mother know both your ears are pierced?",
cracks Berry, his co-presenter.
He answers, "You know what, when I go visit her, I take them out."
Well why?
Why would you take them out?
Well because his mother's a bible-believing, fundamental,
Holy Ghost-filled, praying mama.
And he's convicted.
Because he knows it's not right.
Hello?
Why not?
If it's right, it's right, if it's wrong, it's wrong.
Why you gotta change this when you go home to visit mama?
Because you know that it destroys your testimony for Jesus Christ.
Because those are things that little faggots put in their ears.
I was over in San Diego, I was preaching on the beach.
And I was finishing, I was just leaving, the last night, God had been healing many people.
And there was a young man, came up to me, he was about seventeen, eighteen years old.
And he said, pastor would you just spare me a moment, I want to talk to you.
And he was about this high, and he was trying to be with the in thing,
And so he said, he said I'm a christian
as a matter of fact, he's the son of somebody that's fairly prominent in church,
so he said, I want to know -I hadn't said a thing about the issue-
he said, I want to know, what I want to know is,
is it wrong for a Christian to wear an earring?
He had one in his ear.
I said, well I don't know if it's wrong,
but I wouldn't wear anything that little faggots are gonna wear.
Hello, walls.
You gonna wear something that Arsenio Hall has got in his ear?
Just because Arsenio has it in his ear, you're gonna wear it?
He was deeply convicted.
I said, why don't you give me that earring right now.
He reached up, pulled it out, he said I just paid eight hundred dollars for that.
I took it and threw it right out in the sand.
I said, live for God, son, smile and be happy.
