1. He was NOT asked to leave by anybody. He did have a few disgruntled folks rise up against him about 4 months earlier. When I preached there recently those who had left had already been replaced by new people and the Church couldn't have been happier with him.

2. He is going back to Carrolton to pastor. It's the city he's originally from and the city his Father in Law Pastored in.

3. I, perhaps, may not do things exactly like Bro. Tiller but, ultimately, he is a lover of truth and an impeccibly sincere man.

Of those things you can be 100% sure.

Thanks for clearing the air! At least you shared the "pulpit" side of the story. There is always a "pew" side as well. How do I know? Because I've experienced it myself.

It's very difficult to be an Ultra-Con in Columbus, OH!

Nothing like the pull of family to move one along. It seems to be a common occurance. I wish him well. It will be difficult for that church to replace him.

I was surprised to hear that he resigned, they were having revival, the church was doing great under his ministry.

I never understood why the need for a plethora of upci churches in that area since most of them are mediocre at best. I can think of 2 to 3 churches in that area that are experiencing church growth without the relocating of disgruntled saints.

It's ironic that Rod Parsley's church is less than 15 minutes from Tiller's former church in one direction amd less than 15 minutes from Cook's church in another direction. Even with great pillars of truth in that area, about a dozen of Parsley's Bible college students travel two hours south to attend our church. Makes me wonder who is dropping the ball in central Ohio and why....

Everyone's replaceable. It simply depends upon what they are looking for and really need.

Were you a ultra-con at one time?

No, actually, I was a "caustic" ultra-con!

What about Bro Keith M., the guy they just elected about a few months ago..... is he leaving already? Or is Bro Tiller Just joining the staff? (i'm only 40 min north of Carrollton and I still hear nothing of whats going on lol)

BTW Bro Steadfast, you are missed on some other places if noone else has passed the word on to you yet....

I know the answer, but I ain't saying. Let's see if anyone else knows what is happening in C-Town.

Yes, it is odd. Considering what I know, very odd indeed.
