Quote from internet news: A pastor is facing federal charges after he allegedly hit his wife in the head during a flight when she got upgraded and he didn’t.

The incident allegedly occurred on July 2 on board an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska.

According to the complaint, the pastor and his wife were traveling for an event related to their ministry.

According to witnesses interviewed by Anchorage Airport Police detailed in the complaint, Holmberg asked his wife, “How the hell did you get the upgrade?” ………….

I was just a little perturbed that a pastor would/could have such a problem. I understand he is an independent pastor, but things like this and the terrible incident from a Texas Pastor in the news lately causes me to look again at what is accepted/common in our world of Religion today.
Are WE Christians/COG also to the placed some have mentioned, ready to accept lies/nastiness as part of our USA society.

I guess recent incidents in the Christian World and our crazy election time cause me to roll my eyes and shake my head. I know, I am in the past, but some things, decency and common sense are still required by the Word. Simple SS knowledge.

I consider my support to the local church as gifts to support the work of the Lord. I have mentioned here and on the old forum that since I have been in or around the COG all my life, I know many of the southern COG ministers. Several have become Overseers and worked in COG & Missions admin. I do know many jobs that were created (evidently) for men who needed income until a ‘slot’ was found. I have no problem with some sort of unemployment for those, but NOT a self supporting job. Most ministers can visit and preach at other churches for supplemental income and do. Anyway a year of so back I started sending our offerings, gifts and tithe into our church general fund & Missions. I never mentioned my reasoning to the pastor of clerk and neither have mentioned or complained to me. My wife has always preferred 20% or more to the church and missions. I have no problem with that, as long as I see it used to benefit His Kingdom.

How do you feel about the General Fund vs Tithe title?

AT first my girl was upset because I did not use the term TITHE, my explaination was WE KNOW and HE knows we pay our tithe.

There were two posts, one about something the GO said in a camp meeting about Job’s wife, and the other about the upcoming GA and how the CoG is becoming like the UMC. Why did y’all take them down?

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father figures.
