Known for its community outreach, the church has a food pantry, a clothing ministry and a scholarship program for students.
“I’ve never heard anything that could be scandalous about him and I’m praying that’s not the case now,” said Jerline Harvey, a former Forest Hill councilwoman and community leader. “He walked every morning singing and praying. He’d sit out in front of his church every morning. He was always at the church.”
Hundreds of people, many inconsolable church members, went Monday to Greater Sweethome to express their grief. Many gathered at the Forest Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church next door, where Dennis and several pastors sought to reassure them.
“God has a way of working through this,” said the Rev. Emanuel White Sr. of The Church of Christ in Forest Hill. “We may not know how yet, but he can use this for his kingdom.”
A few hours later, another man urged the congregants to pray for Kirk’s family but not to bombard them with texts and phone calls.
Lewis, who had known Kirk for more than 30 years, said that the pastor and his wife were still grieving over the loss several years ago of their 6-year-old daughter and had named the church’s new educational wing after her. Lewis said his friend once told him that the hardest thing he had ever done “was preach his baby’s funeral.”
Greater Sweethome member Pamela Thomas, who joined in 2005, said she will always remember Kirk as a man who always preached “the true gospel.”
“He was my shepherd, my leader, a true man of God,” she said.

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…
