Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns

[CC1]

I have been assured that TPC plans on having a new pastor installed by 2015. They are simply trying to figure out "God's time" and as soon as they nail that down they will act.

Well to all who seem to be poking fun at what I said about waiting on Gods time, I'll stand by what I said!

Some of you would probably have a pastor in 24 hours!

I wonder what kind of pastor you would have?

Not a very good one in all probability I can tell you that.

Some churches in the nation already have their next pastor picked out before they give the boot to their current pastor.

We are talking about a church who had no idea their pastor was INVOLVED IN SIN!

Now how exactly were they supposed to have a new pastor before they found out what the old pastor was doing?

[AreYouReady?]

Sorry Webe. I was just being facetious because some churches are so fickle that they boot their pastor, already having another person in mind and ready to come.

It was a tic statement and in no way did I have your church situation in mind when I posted this.

How many have been interviewed for the job?

Pretty lame response to a legitimate concern about people using "God's time" as an excuse to do nothing or prolong a process.

You are only revealing your own intellect or lack thereof when you suggest "Some of you probably would have a pastor in 24 hours". That is an absurd statement and I hope upon reflection you will realize that.

To suggest that someone expressing concern that six months down the road TPC is still pastor less means that person would pick a new pastor in 24 hours is childish. Reminds me of the mentally challenged kid on my school bus who when told by another boy that his father had a 30-06 rifle the mentally challenged boy replied that his father had a "40-06!!". Of course no such thing existed.

Stop rushing things! I think in "God's time" they will start doing that. I envision a schedule something like this;

2014 - begin process of trying out pastors
2015 - evaluate preachers heard during 2014
2016 - narrow the field of candidates to 3 (board decision)
2016 - have church vote on final 3 candidates (assuming they are still alive and available)

Show EXACTLY where I said that it should be prolonged for nothing? I never said that.

Matter of fact, I said that it all depended on what the situation was! Please stop putting words in my mouth.

Well that is MY RIGHT to have an opinion isn't it? Some people have been berating ME for simply saying people should wait on Gods timing! Again, I will stand by what I have said. And the remark was tounge in cheek. I hope upon reflection you will realize that part.

Some people cannot take punishment, but they sure dish it out pretty quickly! Do YOU think it was right for them to jump all over ME, because I suggested a church WAITED until they were re3ady to pick a pastor no matter how long it TOOK?

Wow, and all of this flaming coming for an admin? Calling me mentally challenged because I don't agree with you? I think you would be banning anyone that talked like that on this forum. Perhaps you might want to follow your own rules?

I respect you and what you stand for, but I don't lay down and allow anyone to flame me on a public forum!
