Renowned gospel artist Marvin Sapp is responding to criticism over a resurfaced clip that shows him telling church ushers to close the doors while asking for donations in what some say was an overly aggressive move.

Pastor Marvin Sapp, leader of The Chosen Vessel church in Fort Worth, Texas, has responded to criticism surrounding his directive to close the doors during an offering at a recent Christian conference.

Pastor to the stars John Gray III is reacting to Marvin Sapp's viral Church donation request -- telling ushers to close the doors until the congregation coughs up $40,000 -- and he says culture and context are key.
