chad everson on this blog

Trinity, I wanted to let you know that you are being lied to by this man and his wife. One specific lie is about this blog site. This site will not and never has installed any type of virus or spyware on any computer and they both know that, because they view it regularly. In my opinion, this man is once again destroying another church in the name of Christ for his own agenda; therefore he wants this blog as well as others taken down.

I have found a blog site that lays out exactly what his agenda is. If you want to understand what he and others like him are really about, read this posting on the Wartburg Watch found here. You should also take time to read the background on that blog as well as the other posts there.

Again I say as I have before, Trinity, your leadership was warned, and from the comments and emails, many, and I do mean many of you, are having the scales removed from your eyes concerning the agenda of this so called “pastor.” The only way to deal with this is to stand up, unite around the common cause of Christ being glorified in order to reach the lost, and stop the destruction of the lives of the people in your communities.

I am certain you will be called “troublemakers” and that you will be told you are causing division and that your actions are un-Biblical. Friends and family might even disagree with you and turn on you. However, if you sit there and do nothing, you will soon find nothing left to fight for. The people of Byron, GA and Starke, FL are all too familiar with that end. This man’s track record speaks for itself; simply do a little research and you will find out for yourself.

And please remember when he comes at you with, “We are following God’s leading and the BIBLICAL design of a church laid out clearly in the Word of God,” he has forgotten the verse, 1 John 4:8 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” The church was instituted to reach out to the lost with the love of God, not to beat them up with doctrine and judge their salvation.

We must always measure what anyone teaches from Scripture against the character of God. Yes, God is the supreme authority and He is just, but He is also loving and kind and forgiving. Have you seen those characteristics in your pastor, or do you simply see arrogance and a controlling attitude? You must be a servant and not an authoritarian, if you want to be like Jesus.

So again I leave you with:

chad has been rebuked privately and publicly and members of the body are to withhold intimate fellowship through the process and procedure of group disapproval and social ostracism. Clearly, the offender knows that his action has dishonored the Lord and has caused a rupture in the harmony of the body. The goal has always been restoration.

2 Thess. 3:6, 14-15
6) But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
14) But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15) Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Unfortunately, here we are at the final stage.

“If there is still no response in repentance and obedience, the church is to apply the procedures of excommunication as directed in Matthew 18:17 (If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector.)”

Fellow Brothers & Sisters, my prayer is that you will reach out to this man and his family with the Gospel.
