A Shameful Act

I was shocked, horrified, and OUTRAGED to read this story from Professor James Duncan regarding his experience with the leadership at NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. This is TRULY DISGUSTING and NewSpring Church needs to come clean and repent of their sin!!!

The church is pastored by Perry Noble, seen here, SCOLDING his congregation for them expecting him to be a pastor.

May God grant them repentence!!!

We read in 2nd Timothy about the duties of pastors: "I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching...As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (2nd Timothy 4:1-3 & 5)

We also read, in Paul's letter to Titus: "This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it." (Titus 1:5-9)

My prayers go out to the Duncan family.
