A very disturbing article that cannot be dismissed by saying, 'Well, that just happened in this one case, but never in my town' At least this is not getting front page treatment by the mainstream media (maybe because Trump cannot be blamed for it). At the same time, compare this article to the one about South Carolina losing churches. (At least, none of the official reasons given had to do with financial fraud.) Most of those were in the large, well-established denominations, where you would think there is greater financial accountability than in these independent ones. Notice, though, that some comments posted here seemed to denigrate any denomination--so if you go to an independent church, you have no idea what is going on with your tithes and offerings, unless you become an expert at reading and interpreting IRS Form 990. |

I did not find any mention in the article that Andy Stanley is the son of Charles Stanley, famous TV preacher with his own "In Touch" show and materials, including a monthly devotional you can subscribe to. As to the issue of 'unhitching' the Old Testament from Christianity, it would make it hard to then understand where Paul tells us that the Old Testament is there to provide us examples, and how would you preach on the Heroes of the Faith in Hebrews 12? And how would you explain the advice Paul gives to Timothy--the scriptures here must mean the Old Testament, since the KJV had not yet come out! 2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness |
