Man comes back in view of a call. Is not very direct in answer to questions.

Example: Black church member asks before church service; This city is 40% black. There used to be some black folks who came to church here, but since Pastor So and So left they don’t come . What are You going to do to get them back andd reach black people.
His answer(no joke)- Well when my daugter was in Bible college she was going into the ghettos and having Bible clases for black children.

I{ I don’t know if the guy thoght he was being accused of being a racist or what but he was offended by it} Later on durin the question answer time(which he took plenty of time telling how he came to be a canidate) made sure he knew his daughter was reaching black kids when she was in Bible college .

He made sure to tell us that if he came here, he would teach us how to have a real relationship with God and take us to the next level. Would help us get rid of debt on church building which is about thirtyfive years old(In a questionair he answered he called the church a rescue mission) .
This is such a long story and there is so much more I could type

We voted on him two weeks later. Three members of Pulpit commitee seem extremely overconfident on vote before it even takes place talking about how much he is going to get paid. Vote is read. Church Constitutuion requries 75% of membership. He did not even get half

Two other weeks go by. During those two weeks music director who is also Sunday school teacher teaches SS lesson to class. Go on talking about church problems.
After two weeks are up three members of PC leave along with about 30 other church members and start new chuch in neihboring city . Claims to love city they are in and offering the city we are in new hope(they have the audacity of hope) . I percieved that as a doom sentence on our church.Some members call man and rebuke him fo spliting our church. Man’s reply- ” there wer a lot of ungodly things going on in that church” So much for Mtt18 and gal 5 instead of that quietly leave and take people with you. Most of the people who left probably voted for him. When they left there was not a pary. Interum pastor calleed us together and made sure we would not rejoice, but refrain from felolowship and if they repent and come back welcom them. They now have a building, which they claim is a blessing from God(See sucess as a sign of godliness post), and a building dedication is coming up this month

The man actually has has an article on his website on when it is right to leave a church. I talks about when their is anger and division and the church is controlled by emotions instead of the spirit like Corinth. i’m not saying their may not have been a nd are problems, but i feel like those who left acted like this man was the only answer to them

Ya know, I was gonna tease you a bit for being redundant (“looks visually”). But in reflection that even SOUNDS visually atrocious, so I guess there’s really no redundancy.
