Please Read, this is from Matt 13
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The book is open for comments, Pastor Galloway and WOL are not the issue here. I am not a member there anymore. I left because we moved out of state. If I moved back to the area, WOL would be my church. In all the yrs that Pastor Galloway was my pastor, and WOL was my family, I NEVER felt that the Pastor or the leadership was anything but compasionate and God fearing. There are not many churches you can go to and be feed the Word and grow in a personal relationship with the Lord like you can at WOL. The Pastors job is to feed the flock, some need millk, some meat. It is not his job to babysit those who whine and need to have all the attention like a toddler. There are people that are lost, troubled and need help, so for those who need a babysitter go to a daycare.
All churches have wheat and tares.........the Pastor sows the seeds, the Word and the Body nourish and water.........God takes care of the harvest.
I know all who have left the church for what ever reason are in the prayers of Pastor Galloway.
