I mean no offense to any here, But I was angry after 5 mins.<br /><br />I admit I am not a Southerner. That said his message had political and war undertones. It takes an outsider maybe? <br /><br />The ending message was just Trust God , he's got it all. (Just allow everything cause God's Got it?)<br /><br />This is not the Style of Church I grew up with. The Bible was twisted in just this one sermon?<br /><br />I found this blog after googling First Baptist jax Corruption. <br /><br />Just needed to see if this is what the south is all about?

The pressure to silently agree doesn't always come from the pastor, but can come from supporters as well. There is such a fear of discussion and a fear that raising questions will cause one to fall out of "favor." Several of the issues raised here come down to failing to honor the priesthood of every believer and can occur because people make idols out of pastors, even in situations where the pastor himself has not intentionally done anything wrong. I recently posted several suggestions on how to prevent "cults of personality" from forming in the modern church: http://thetrustworthyword.blogspot.com/2016/03/cult-of-personality-lesson-for-modern.html Jerry Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370640301757556204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-58220672065600832672016-01-28T17:24:05.334-05:002016-01-28T17:24:05.334-05:00My question Tom, do you think this is new among ch...My question Tom, do you think this is new among church leaders? Is this unseen in past centuries?<br /><br />Or have there always been pastors with big egos who have acted this way thru-out milenia?<br /><br />My take? there is nothing new under the sun.
