As everybody in my church stood around watching the weekly attendance fall from 280 to 80, I became aware of bad theology that had come into our fellowship a couple of years previously. I brought it to leadership's attention...and found out that some were a part of it. Gold dust and feathers. It took over a year to root it out, including those wayward leaders who wouldn't repent. They were the ones who split, not the body. I praise God that our church didn't have to shut down. It was a close call.
Thank you again for the great lesson.
Thanks, Gary!
Really solid stuff.

Absolutely great lesson! This can be applied to so many different aspects of Christianity… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Praying for all of the victims of Helene and Milton… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't know if I'll post it here, but there's an entry in my upcoming ebook on the topic
