Is that really the way it is ?? One thing I see is that there is no responsibility or remorse - you sin and then a couple of weeks, you are out there like nothing happened, so why should they be real ?? EXCEPT for who they are continually singing about - our Lord Jesus Christ - Wendy J - I have been checking periodically and surprised that no groups have been listed ??

It would be nice to reward people that really do have moral standards and please the Lord with their lifestyle.

I bet half of you people on here wouldnt ask for forgiveness if he found out you were talking about him like this. You ADULT people need to get a life and obviously i need to to since im reading this crap. At least Matt was man enough to ask for forgiveness.

It amazes me how some people on this website call themselves christians. Yet whenever a fellow chrsitian brother or sister falls by the wayside, the people who you would think help them in a time of trouble and strife, go behind their backs and degrade them!!! The bible says several time throughout that we are not to judge one another. Its not our place but yet it is up to GOD almighty to judge!! Evil speaking of people is bad Psalms 41:5; 109:20 We should really watch what we say not knowing the whole story! Its certainly big of Matt to post a letter to his fans/friends asking for forgiveness. Most people would use the old go to excuse such as "Im leaving the road to spend more time with my family" lol. This industry is so easily to love you one minute but yet if a single fault is discovered, the industry will condemn you the next minute!! For example Michael English people condemned him and pushed him away now years later, hes back. May God bless you Michael English and may god forgive the ones who trespassed against you, and the same goes for you Matt!!. I was among many who were in Palmetto, Florida when Matt sang with the Diplomats Quartet. Wow!! "I have not forgotten" has never sounded so good. Thank God his son has never forgotten me. I also among many went to the Diplomats and thanked them greatly for allowing Matt an opportunity to sing again. John 3:16 Doug!!!!!

Matt is singing with them permantly. They do mixed quartet, all male quartet and all five members sing together. Man may not be forgiving, but just remember God is a forgiving God.

Lo and behold Matt Dibler was introduced as a new permanent member. This may be common knowledge, but it surprised me.

I don't know where you get your information, but it is incorrect! It sure is none of your business about any of these people you are speaking about. I think your website is the biggest hoax I have ever seen. And anyone who believes anything you say is crazy!! God will forgive anyone at anytime for anything, southern gospel singers aren't perfect, they mess up just like anyone else.. you just think you have the right to publicize their wrongdoings.. It's just disgusting and wrong! You have some nerve! I don’t know where you get your information, but it is incorrect!
