One blogging pastor has resigned from his church. In a recent post he said many things, but finished with this. It means more coming from a guy who has been sticking it out for years rather than a seminary student who just learned something.
if you are reading this i'd like to remind you that church isn't about you. it isn't about your needs or your comfort or your musical tastes. sure you need to find a place where you can find a family but it's hard for me to believe that jesus died on the cross so his kids could have the best sunday school in town.
I've read Scott's blog for a couple of years now and although I have never met him personally I consider himi a good friend and incredible brother in the Lord. He amazes me with the insights found within his posts time after time. I have gotten some really good illustrations from his posts and many more from how he lives his life. I feel very sad for New Heights because they lost a pastor who personified the church getting out of the fortress mentality and making a difference in the local community. The community in Mission, BC saw Jesus through Scott's ministry.
