Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I think it's very easy to say what should be done by whom, when we are not in the situation. Maybe God didn't foresee AFF where everyone can come and find out what to do. Maybe less shoulda, woulda, coulda, did or didn't. And more praying for TB and his family, and the church people. May God heal and restore TB, his family, and the church people.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
2 Cor. 13:13 says "All the saints send their greetings".
12:13 is what you meant. And you left out the context and commentary that explains it.
http://www.biblestudytools.com/2-cor...thians+12:8-18
Has nothing to do with the way you intended it to mean. In fact, the context has Paul saying he was never a burden, that the parent should save up to give to the kids (Paul should give to his children:the church) not the children to the parent and that when Titus came he took nothign from them either. So you now have in just a few verses Paul saying that not only he, but Tituse also, never took a dime from the church. In fact, if memory serves, the only time Paul received any money from the church was the special offering that was sent to him.
BTW, Paul not once uses the word tithe in any of his letters. You presume he is alluding to the OT tithing in Cor.

There are a lot of 1st churches of all denominations. I haven't ever seen a 2nd, though.

Just up the road in a local community there was First Baptist and a split from it called Second Baptist and when Second Baptist began to grow, they relocated almost across the street from First. So they changed their name to...you guessed it..."Cross Point Baptist"

There are a couple of churches in this area called CrossPoint. Someone told me that this is a "big chain church". Anybody know anything about chain churches?
I guess that would be a different topic.
