Erica Campbell has been getting a lot of backlash lately since she released her Gospel Album Cover, Erica is the other half of Gospel duo Mary Mary and a Pastor’s wife; I never knew she was this curvy, just look at that coke bottle body! Oooh la la! I guess this is exactly the problem, she has been criticized, this album cover is too sexy for a gospel artiste.
Here’s what other people think:
“As a gospel singer, you should do things that will glorify God. But that dress ain’t doing so,” one unimpressed fan said.
Another wrote: “Is she planning on bringing peeps 2christ by 1st making them commit lustful sin? Lol its way too sexy girl.”
But one admirer insisted: “There is nothing wrong with that outfit. The good Lord looks at the heart of man.”
“This is not ok.Yes, you are a beautiful, curvy woman but no ma’am you are singing the gospel of Jesus Christ.” wrote pastor Stacey Woods on the American Preachers site.
“We compel men to come through our love for Jesus, but when we wear things that are distracting, the message is somehow lost and it becomes about us and not about Him,” Woods affirmed.
Erica Campbell does not think this is too sexy , she says “God knows my heart. I didn’t do anything wrong”. She further stated that Christians were often too quick to judge others.
“It just makes me sad that us Christians can’t see beyond our initial reaction and don’t seek God before we attack other brothers and sisters,“she said.
What do you think? Too sexy for church?
