As Peter told Ananias, it was his money to give or keep as he chose.<br /><br />But those crosses in the picture remind me: I lived in Memphis for 25 years, and it was during my time there that Katrina hit the coast. We got a lot of refugees, and the local rag told some of their stories. There was a Muslim family, a couple and their two boys, who had lived on top of their gas station/convenience store and had to flee with what they could hastily put in their car. They had gotten as far as Memphis and run out of money, and were driving down I-40 not knowing what do, when the woman caught sight of those crosses and said "Stop there - those people will help us." The Bellevue people put them up in the gym for the night, and next day scrounged some school uniforms for the boys and got them settled in school, and helped the couple figure out what to do. Somebody put a rental house at their disposal and somebody else helped them find work, so they were OK until they could go back home. That is the sort of thing you want to read about a church doing, weird and incorrect theology though they may have.<br /><br />But yeah, I can imagine Adrian Rogers spinning.Laura(southernxyl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02880277733341078157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440303482642919589.post-88415828161394094582012-05-19T05:39:12.933-07:002012-05-19T05:39:12.933-07:00http://watchinghidtory.blogspot.com/2008/11/bellev...http://watchinghidtory.blogspot.com/2008/11/bellevues-lay-off.htmlWatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440303482642919589.post-29454130127849560072012-05-18T05:29:45.229-07:002012-05-18T05:29:45.229-07:00do you attend Bellevue Baptist?do you attend Bellevue Baptist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440303482642919589.post-86867332421098652802012-05-18T05:04:36.099-07:002012-05-18T05:04:36.099-07:00Pastor Steve Gaines of Bellevue Baptist Church

According to him, if you don't give 10% of your gross income to his 501(c)(3), i.e. "the storehouse," you're rebelling against God Almighty, a sin he likens to witchcraft. <br /><br />Just for the record, Bellevue doesn't have or has it ever had 30,000 members. That's an exaggeration. The last numbers I saw several years ago indicated there were about 29,000 members on the roll but that they couldn't find at least 11,000 of them. There's been a marked decline in attendance since those numbers came out. Of course, that's based solely on observation. Actual attendance numbers are a well-guarded secret. I've never heard of a Baptist church that wouldn't publish their weekly attendance numbers.New BBC Open Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300115421477555376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440303482642919589.post-49155849653812917122012-05-15T19:49:49.729-07:002012-05-15T19:49:49.729-07:00Bravo!
