Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns

[tv1a]

Do you honestly believe the thousands who followed Jesus got the same attention as the disciples? When Jesus made the offer to follow Him, he was giving the opportunity to be on the ground floor of something special. Jesus took his disciples away from the crowd on countless occasions to teach them things that were not taught to the masses. According to AYR, Jesus should have taught those things to the 80% who were hanging out for the bread and fish. Jesus knew the players from the pretenders. He lost a crowd of thousands when he said his followes would eat his flesh and drink his blood. Jesus was left with a dozen guys after that declaration.

The church still belongs to the Lord. There will be purging, healing....and Memphis will have revival! Revival will happen because the people of God (self included) are embarking on a fresh vision that includes fasting, prayer, healing, repentance. I believe a revival will blow up through TPC AND other Apostolic truth believing churches. Not a 10,000 member mega church with vanity and egos and the room for satan to play the race, economic, and other divisive cards. No. How about 20 churches planted with 500 members across the city? What a vision a brother recently shared!

Revival. Let it begin in me. Now that information is before me, the hurt is there, and I don't have answers to "why", one thing is certain. Yet will I trust him!

Memphis...the devil tried it again. Pray for those that fell, for families that left. Let's continue to heal, and lets have revival!!!

TB is not God. Let's move on....

Now this commentary is one FILLED with faith VICTORIES!!!!

very sad, and hurtful to marriages and many others: In and without the body of christ-the world is taking notes, and many looking for excuses not to believe/serve god, and many looking/searching for the real deal!!! Let's be that shinning light that is on**top**of the hill that can be seen, and not under some bushel dimmed, and doing the wrong things!!!

correct!!! Sin has no respect of ethnicity-social settings-socio economic status-etc. If we review ancient biblical characters, political authorities, and any/every walk of life: The spirit of sin has found the weakness inour human nature, and has brought countless of saved, and unsaved folk down to defeat. We must set our affections on jesus, and leave them there...

Before Paul went into the wilderness for revelation, he was mentored by Barnabas. Paul spent time with the apostles after his conversion. Paul showed the desire and commitment to spread the gospel.

I cannot even begin to tell you how many people learned from the Holy Ghost the things in the bible that are never taught on the church pew.

Apparently, you do not teach your 20% a whole lot.

By the way, in case I did not ask this before...just to get a better understanding of what you believe, are you a pastor, an evangelist or an anointed saint?

Ok. I gotcha. That proves it.

I see on the TPC website that a Ron Brown has preached the last three services. Can somebody who knows tell us who he is?
