Bible Note: I know that your are right. He is in control of the money in our church. He and his brother (who does not attend our church) are the trustees. About a year and a half ago the pastor told us he had ask to get a financial report and to be added as a trustee. He got a report that was not clear. He ask my husband and me to bring it up too. We did and it was with great relunctance he started providing a statement. Which is not really complete. It does not reflect all the money that is paid out or comes in. I know this because we are building a new sanctuary and no payment to workers is reflected. Though I know we pay some unemployed members to work. He also as far as I know has not made the pastor a trustee. I told the pastor in the same conversation I mentioned that I would rather move down the street and pitch a tent than continue as things are. He said he thought God would understand we didn't agree with this doctrine and would continue to bless our church. I told him God cares if it is one piece of silver hidden under one small tent. Anyway thank you so much. The first response I got here was good too, but we have been praying and fasting for over a year to try to continue as things are. God is no longer blessing our services as He once did. So many people have left. And yes nearly anyone I have spoken with who has any maturity is upset and concerned too. I just haven't spoken much to others. I am so fearful of being a gossip or talking out of turn about my fellow believers. I guess that has hindered me more than anything else. So thank you again. We plan to talk with the Pastor tonight and let him know we will no longer allow this to continue. |
