Jt,
it sounds like it’s time for the pastor to take the Amway-kinda-guy out to
dinner and give him a printout of scriptures on repentance. Also, I’m
afraid your son shares some of the culpability. I got “ripped off”
like that once myself. The lesson I learned from it was worth every
dollar I lost. Izzy jt:
Paul dealt with the man having an affair with his father's wife. Peter dealt
with Annanias and Sapphira for lying about money. Paul wrote to Timothy telling
him to deal with those who sinned before all so that they would learn to
fear. Our son-in-law has been conned and scammed out of tens of thousands
of dollars by a person in Church leadership who has done the same thing to two
other families and this person declared bankruptcy last week so the money
is probably gone for good but the problem is still leading singing and teaching
in the Church. This must be a stench in God's nostrils just
like perverted priests in the RCC. These things ought not to
be. The pastor takes our son-in-law out to dinner and gives him
printouts of scripture to look at and meditate on. John how would
you have handled something like this in your Church? They talk
about business and Church matters having to be separate etc. but our
son-in-law never would have met this person or gone into business with him had
he not been at this particular Church and made such a good showing after
the flesh. His outward appearance is perfection, clean and pressed, brand
name clothes, drives an Expedition; but he has an Amway mindset and the
big break is always on the way - in the meantime he rips off God's
people. Is Church discipline the answer to this?
