I believe when groups backbite one another, it reveals a lot about their motives. The Apostle Paul did not care if it was friends or foes preaching Jesus, as long as Jesus was preached.

With all of that said, however, I honestly feel that the Gold City clip was done in good fun.

As I posted on another site. I’m still puzzled by the jealously in this industry. If SSQ is successful, why can’t other groups be happy for them instead of trying to find fault with them. They are trying to win souls to Christ. Some people drive, or fly, or take a bus to get to their destination. The goal is to get there. SSQ is using a different mode than other groups and it appears to be working. Just leave them alone and be happy for them.

Tremendous post, Daniel.

I can testify to back-biting in gospel music as I witnessed it as a child in the 50’s. Even among local non-professional groups, the jealousy was evident from the intentionally missed turn at the singing convention to the non-invitation to certain events. I overheard my father tell a fellow quartet operator, “Don’t make a record, because if you do, you’ll have to fight the other groups.”

Maybe the secret is to not be very successful, don’t stand out from the crowd, and barely get by. That way, no one is jealous of you. I hope Gaither and SSQ continue to do what they’re doing.

As we are preparing to re-launch Ed Hill’s Prophets Qt, all this talk makes me wonder what to expect. My background is the ministry…both Crusade Evangelism and Pastoring in a local church…I may not be prepared for the SG world, because everyone knows “there’s no jealousy or back-biting in the Ministry”…Right?…Amen?

Amen!!! I guess this blog really makes you think. Most people think that ORB left gospel music only because of the $$$. Obviously that’s not the only factor. Good story.
