Well, it's done.
This morning, my family and I left Calvary Baptist Church in Greenwood, Indiana. We'd been there for a couple of years, and they sponsored us in our church start. It saddens me greatly, but I truly saw no other option given events of last Thursday.
I am going to write a list of reasons and email them to the church staff, hoping to show that I had some real concerns and still do - I will continue to pray for Calvary because of the direction I fear it is heading.
I thought about posting that list here, but decided against it after the wise counsel of some dear brothers at Calvary. There would be little point in it; the world doesn't need to see all of the problems. So, unless I end up getting a lot of untrue accusations (which I doubt will happen), I won't post it.
I will continue to post reviews of statements made in the last sermon I heard from my former pastor. May God use them for the glory of His Name.
Thank you all who have prayed and are continuing to do so.

Brother, you and your family are in my prayers. May the Lord lead you all to a church that preaches the whole counsel of God and that is not ashamed of the doctrines of God's sovereign grace.

You all pray for the flock at First Baptist of Los Altos as well. Same situation basically.

Can do and done, brother Micah.

David, I am praying that the Lord will lead you to a new church home. One that will be true to God's word and will preach and teach in that light. Grace and Peace to you and your precious family. Algo.
