Guarding the Good Deposit

"Follow the pattern of sound words...in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you." 2 Timothy 1:13, 14 *** Biblically-related ramblings from Pastor Jason, Northside Calvary Church, Racine, Wisconsin ***

Whatever happened to...

...turning the other cheek? Apparently, a pastor in Florida decided that wasn't required of him. Forty-year old Lorenzo Dixon, pastor of the Assembly of Praise Church, pulled a .32 caliber handgun on a parishioner after the man struck the pastor in the nose. If that isn't strange enough, the pastor's wife got the gun for her husband from their car during the altercation. After people separated the two, she handed it to her husband!

I wonder if Pastor Dixon ever read Romans 12:17-18:

Repay no one evil for evil....If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves...
