Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I don't know this situation of this church,and don't really need to. But I hate to hear of any Christian minister or believer falling into a moral failure,it certainly does not help the cause of The Christian faith.

God bless you Brother BT. I'm sure you have many in your congregation

I do pray for the Ministry every day. |
Thanks Lacey for your kind words and I do appreciate your prayers. It's great to love and be loved by your congregation. And the rewards and blessings far outweigh the negatives. Our reward is eternal and too often I guess we look for too much here.
I know all of we preachers and especially the Pastor are easy targets. And if I wanted to lower the bar I could tell you about many of those "terrible saints" and take them to the wood shed like they take us. But I won't and it's not as bad as I probably make it sound. The majority are faithful, God fearing and loving individuals who support and stand behind their Pastors, even though some "Pastor Bashers" might think that's a bad thing for them to do. Hey, I like that term, "Pastor Basher!" It almost sounds vulgar, tho! I better stop while I'm ahead and as someone stated on another post, "I never was ahead!" ha ha

Wow! You are right. Somebody went and edited out that addition to wiki about the resignation and allegations.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I wonder sometimes though in OP circles,if ministers falling,could have something to do with how high Ministers are put on pedestals ?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I saw the Wike link before it was removed.
Moral failure and financial impropriety both seem vague.
Sure hope someone's not out to get this pastor and spreading lies.

Agree. Does seem awfully abrupt to post something like that on Wikipedia without a motive.
