I am truly sorry about all you have endured of late. However, you are being prepared for an even higher level of Gods love for you. Sometimes we marry who we want to marry, and you wife is beautiful. Now is your season to enjoy the love God designed for you in His own image. Your heart is too sweet for just anyone. Be encouraged and do know that there is someone out here waiting to be found by you to love you in every aspect of the word good and bad, the way you so very much deserve

I absolutely love your music and your gift of song. I just want to know did God say that it was ok to leave your marriage? If he is a healer of disease, can he not heal a "seemingly" broken marriage? If it was a choice then I think it should be said I (you) chose to give up on God and my (your) marriage because the God I... (we) serve is able to do all things but we have to endure and Want what he wants for us... not saying it’s easy but accountability to ones actions and decisions is crucial to not only you but those that can be lead astray by your decisions. It’s scary when you see those that are very much intimate with Christ not able to withstand the devourer’s traps (divorce).
John 7:24 (New King James Version)
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

I first want to say, bless your heart soul mind spirit and body! I have loved you for sooooo many years! I'm not going to apologize for your divorce, things happen and we're HUMAN! Amen. I seen you on lift evry voice and I was wowed as usual. You spoke words of love and reallness into the camera and sang your wife (2b) a sweet song. Yes ur successful, looked up to and basically a STAR, but @ the end of the day, ur like all the rest of us waiting on that special 1. Alone.....and we weren't created to be alone. I wasn't ! I'm his missing rib! Which PROTECT the most vital organs, one of the most important is the heart. She's coming Fred, and pray for your continued success and for God to be a fence all around you. And remember no weapon formed shall prosper.

Hello Fred,
It is an honor to be able to post a comment. I have enjoyed your music for so many years. I would like to know how can I get you to perform in Fayetteville NC. I know that you were in Raleigh NC a couple of months ago, but I'm in the military and unforunately I had to work. You are surely a Man Servant of God expressing Gods work through song. I thank God for your gift and your annointing. Remember whatever the situation God has a MASTER PLAN FOR YOU. Fred you might not know what it is at this time, but God knows. Keep your head up and trust and depend on God, he will see you through. HE WILL NOT PUT NO MORE ON YOU THAN YOU CAN BEAR. Fred continue to be blessed and I will pray for you and your family, but I will have a special pray for the kids, because it's a difficult time for them whether they tell you or not. BE BLESSED !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Fred,
Your music has touched so many lives and because of that God has smiled on you. And just know that he's a God of ALL Comfort. I've been thru some difficult times myself and God has been there. So, keep walking by faith and trusting God and before you know it. Your gonna be enjoying life with that certain lady that "WOW" your heart from God. God Bless You!

saw u this past weekend in kansas city on the second row in the park. Had a awesome time and never wanted it to end. You are truly annointed by God and it shows through your music, i am a hammond fan. As far as your personal life leave it in God's hand and continue to do his will for your life. I am praying for you!

I have to say something to you man of God!When I first got saved,I was looking for a way to worship the Lord because I wanted him to know how much he meant to me.That's when I found your music.Your music have encouraged me in ways that you can't imagine!!Whenever life seemed to be too much for me,I would pull out my Purpose by Design CD and somehow it just seemed to make everything turn out alright!I have loved your music since day one!!!You encourage and inspire alot of people with your lyrics and melody.That's why the enemy launched an attack of this magnitude on you!!!He only bothers people that true purpose in God that have the anointing to set God's people free!!!So continue to be encouraged and going forward and looking up!!God's got a tremendous blessing in store for you!!You cannot plant seeds such as you have into the lives of others and not expect Him to return those seeds to you!!!!As someone who truly admires and loves you for who are and what you stand for,be encouraged and know that God has not forgotten your labor of love for us,His people!!!
