A pastor was just fired from a church for attending a Rick Ross concert. Yea, GOT FIRED! Can we now say officer Ricky is a certified devil.......? {Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged.} Here’s how Praise DC is reporting the story:
(via PriaseDC )AmericaPreachers.com reports that Pastor Rodney Wills was just about to reach 4 years at Mt. Salem Baptist Church.He is the youngest pastor to be installed at 26 years old and is now the shortest term pastor in Mt. Salem’s 109 year history. On Saturday, Mt. Salem voted him out for attending a local Rick Ross concert. With a vote of 11 to 3, the 14 deacons met at 11pm Saturday night to discuss and come to a conclusion that they did not need his services anymore. Rev. Wills arrived to the church the next day for Sunday morning worship service and notice his parking sign taken down and his name removed from the office door.The deacons even asked another minister from the community to officiate the service that morning. “We cannot have our leader supporting people of this world who are tearing down the kingdom of God.” said Deacon Miles Langley. According to Deacon Langley, this is not the first time Rev. Wills has attended a concert while pastoring Mt. Salem. 9 months ago the diaconate board met with Rev. Wills when word was given to them that many youth and young adults spotted the pastor at a Lil Wayne concert.“We know that many saints will have mixed opinions from our actions, but this is not how we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor praising the world one minute then praising the Lord the next. Period” said Deacon Langley.Rick Ross recently made nationwide news when he was dropped from Reebok and other endorsements for lyrics advocating rape towards women. ”Put Molly all in her Champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it,” he raps on the track
We all know that nobody's church is perfect but a pastor should have some standardd when it comes to the participation in things outside of church. But on the other hand. ...it appears to be some busy bodies in this church who thought it was christian like to fire the pastor in the way that it was done. Deacon Langley seems like the outspoken ringleader of the black ball/firing squad. a meeting at 11PM? Taking the signs down off the pastors study and parking lot. Really? And although a meeting was held late at night, he wasn't told that he had been terminated as pastor. These "greater than thou" christians let him come to church the next day to discover that he had been replaced for the morning service. God don't like ugly! Somebody wanted to get rid of him anyway. Whats next? A meeting to throw out the youth and the parents who let their "many youth and young adults" attend the same concert and are members of the church? Why not just judge all of them too dince you are on a roll. Thats an awful way to treat someone who gave four years of service
