Guess they need to go to the Pastors' Conference and learn some more advanced tactics from Mac, huh?<br /><br />For those of you who don't know this story, Watchdog is the intrepid blogger who dared to criticize prominent Southern Baptist pastor Mac Brunson, and the church got the Jacksonville Sheriff's office involved, etc. How dare anyone criticize pastor Mac?!?! It's a good illustration of the extraordinary lengths some drunk-on-their-own-power pastors will go to.

Perhaps they are afraid of the legal implications. Personally, I recommend they be more afraid of divine judgement on their inaction. If these good folks read Matthew 18:1-6, they would be trimbling now. Mt. Hope Church, forget your lawyers and do the right thing; act more like Christ and less like contemporary Christians.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220951652307545511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-13597072950370154392009-08-26T11:30:40.169-05:002009-08-26T11:30:40.169-05:00Charles Stanley once preached that a "trouble...Charles Stanley once preached that a "troubled marriage" forever disqualifies a man from being a pastor.

And thanks for such wise words. (For a moment, I thought maybe you were fixin' to call me a "dumb cow." But even when I first thought that, given all the things I've been called by Southern Baptist leaders, I pretty quickly decided that "dumb cow" wouldn't be so bad.)<br /><br />Michael: Did I meet you at the SNAP convention?

To my surprise, the mama cow started vocalizin and fore I knew it, there wuz cows comin out the barn, out the woods, and from all over the pasture and they descended on them dogs a snortin and stompin and mooing and they got that lil'un twixt them and didn't let up til them dogs wuz gone.<br /><br />As I was ponderin on yore writins, I got to thinkin that them dumb cows showed more character n courage than this corrupt generation of cowardly higher primate sheeple who won't do the same fer their lil lambs.<br /><br />From the lil backwoods wooden chapels to the big city mega steeples who worry more about money and yore good name--shame on you!!! Instead of yore big crusades, <br />revivals, and back-slappin glad-handin meetins prayin fer converts and large borders, ya oughtta be prayin fer mercy.<br /><br />Keep on truckin Christa!<br /><br />William T.
