Ok, I was really trying to restrain myself. I didn't feel the negative comment from the "mad Christian" even deserved a response. However, I see others are responding, so I too will come to the defense of Tommy Galloway, my pastor for eight years.

If anyone had asked me eight years ago, are there any true Christians, I would have probably said, "if there are I have never met one." Through his ministry, leadership, discipleship, fellowship, and friendship I have found a true Christian, a true brother in Christ, a pastor who deserves to be called "Pastor" He is a leader among leaders. He makes sure his congregation, those who come under his leadership, are sincerely following the teachings of Chirst. He is the same person at the hospital, at Wal-Mart, on the golf course, in his office, at a wedding, at a funeral, driving down the road, in a trailer park, in a well to do neighborhood, at a confrence speaking to thousands, at a prayer gathering speaking to ten, His life daily defines "Christian" which means to be Christ-like.

As far as people going, yes, some have moved on. Many have left and still call pastor, Pastor and still rely on his guidance and friendship. A few have left infected with "mad Christian disease." My goodness, he could never have wriiten such a truthful book, if he had never expeienced what is in the book. I have seen my pastor weep and pray for those who have moved on, dispitefully used him. He stlll loves them with his whole heart and never gives up on them. We are growing! God is blessing! God has brought us together at Word of Life for such a time as this and we are very excited about everything God is doing among us.

I would ask those who read this to not let negativity influence your decision to read "The Cure for Common Chrisitianity." It contains a message that God wants the Church to hear. It is obvious the enemy doesn't want the message heard. Why would satan want the Church cured? He likes it when we are sick, down trodden, bickering, and well just plain ole mad.
