Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
The church in Memphis has had three candidates thus far with a new one on Sunday, a Brother Parkey from Bloomington, IN. Before him was an evangelist a few weeks back. I heard a great story this weekend from members of that church. They said that Brother Brown announced how that long time children's ministry leaders Brother and Sister D P were recently given a raise by the Board. They have served this church for many years and in the entire time they have been there, they had never been given a raise. I must say that these people are some of the finest folks you'd ever meet. I'm happy for them!

So conservatively allowing for 2% inflation per year they would be making 10% less now than 5 years ago! I am thankful that my employer usually gives merit pay raises annually that are about the same as inflation. Churches should do the same for their staff members.

"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."

Good one CC1.....that ought to kick this out another 260 pages of post.
It is an interesting thought given the rule/law of direct proportions. Church grows, tithes increase, pastors income goes up.
I find it admirable that the children's ministry leaders got anything in the first place as in most instances they along with the other ministry leaders do not.

(mumbles to himself) How can any of this be claimed to be the same religion described in the New Testament?

Why mumble. How would you handle the situation in a way that is befitting a religion that describes itself as a NT church? A Godly man came to help a congregation in time of need but has duties elsewhere once done. The congregation is large, stunned and heartbroken by a fallen pastor dearly loved for years. The church hasn't lost it's spirituality if anything it's drawn closer to God. It will take a certain, special man to take on the responsibility of a church in this situation. Many men might take the church on for the salary, some would likely take it for the status of pastoring a large church, there may even be some that would take it as a stepping stone to their own vision for themselves. If we don't take some time to work through the men's schedules we would likely miss God's will. Some think they know God's timing but really only God does and we do what we know to do until His will is put into place. Pray for TPC. To some it's a train wreck they can't turn away from and I understand because it's outlandish the way things happened but true saints of God, wanting the best for their church need prayer and a positive outlook for the future.
