After all, what is church??? What is it supposed to be? What is our part in it? What is the pastor's part? <BR/><BR/>Oh, I know....all these questions are answered in the Bible. The trouble is....it doesn't seem like *people* are following the Bible very much. Of course, by people....I am meaning pastors and leadership. And if pastors and leadership aren't following the Bible, will the congregation??? I hope so. Yet......are they? Are we???<BR/><BR/>Or....is the answer not the SBC church on the corner?concernedSBCerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725854858594901438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-3949899014451249312008-06-11T14:14:00.000-05:002008-06-11T14:14:00.000-05:00....on the day of the rapture the pews of the Bapt.......on the day of the rapture the pews of the Baptist churches will be full, well the pulpits will be too. <BR/><BR/>That seems to be the sad truth.<BR/>If ministers and Baptist leaders are not faithful in the small things <BR/>(how could sexual abuse ever be considered a small thing??)<BR/>then WHY would we trust them with anything.<BR/>David,<BR/>I agree.

As victims of clergy abuse this latest news is heart wrenching. Let alone to any victim of child sexual abuse. Where does a victim turn? Certainly it is not the Church. <BR/><BR/>And seeing how they have elected Johnny Hunt as president I really have to wonder who the head of their church is. I don’t think they even consider Scripture for one minute. Hunt is the same one that promoted his prodigy, Steve Flockhart and we all have seen how he flopped (sinned with blatant lies and fraud) only to be resurrected to the office of pastor once more with Hunt’s full blessings. Do I dare say that Paul Williams will be restored to the ministry? Just wait. <BR/><BR/>Notice they say use the “convicted” sexual predator database. Are they really serious? They know the facts. Usually victims wait for many years to report their abuse, often more than 30 years. By that time the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution has long run out. <BR/><BR/>This is a very sad day for the SBC. I urge members that are as mad as I am to withhold tithing to the SBC and let their pastor know why. I told mine yesterday and he was sadden but understood. I have contacted my Sunday School class members and urged them to do the same. Seems the only thing the SBC fears is money or lack of. For the record I am a long time SBC member that is sick of the posturing our leaders have taken. They are so worried about baptisms they water down sin and even allow very sick ministers to remain in a position of power. Shame on them, starting with Page, Patterson and Hunt. Morris Chapman is in a league of his on. How much more arrogant can they get?<BR/><BR/>I used to hear my pastor tell us that on the day of the rapture the pews of the Baptist churches will be full, well the pulpits will be too. <BR/><BR/>I am out of answers.<BR/><BR/>David Brown<BR/>SNAP director for Memphis and West Tennessee<BR/>davidbrown@bigriver.net<BR/>901/569-4500David Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617994693909155803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-73694618045999530202008-06-10T21:06:00.000-05:002008-06-10T21:06:00.000-05:00oc said...
