I have sat in a baptist church system for years and years. The pastor there spoke of his family and experiences in each sermon, often bragging and boasting of the great spirituality of his family and the victimhood of being persecuted for his extra biblical experiences, ie., being drunk in a spirit, receiving extra biblical revelations apart from the Testimony of Jesus Christ, etc. He is a pentecostal, charismatic religious spirit who loves to lord it over others with his extra biblical revelations, often speaking in tongues and stating he has the gift of interpreting tongues. He certainly impressed the congregation with his amazing spirituality, until the day came when he not only repressed the truth of hiding a rapist amongst us due to the fact the rapist was the son of board members (both husband and wife) for over a year, and the church board hid this fact also for over a year meanwhile the rapist still performed in the praise band and attended youth group functions where our children attended.

The baptist pastor was later fired, dismissed, or in church cancel culture terminology, “departed for a time of restoration,” for soliciting sexual/relational favors from married women he was counseling in the private chambers of his baptist office. Then he was let go and we, as a congregation were kept in the dark, with no explanations, or truth revealed concerning the sin of this pastor. And yet, he still had the gall to preach on sin, and the last of which was a sermon on the jezebel spirit, perhaps his last attempt to brainwash a gullible congregation into believing that women are the end all problem to baptist men’s shortcomings or sins, so to speak.

I entertained a baptist pastor and his wife at my table in my home, the first place born again believers broke bread, and ministered to one another on a daily basis, per the New Testament. The entirety of the conversation focused on the pastor man and his wife, and the wonderfulness of their lives, their children, and their families. The baptist wife even insisted on playing my piano to show the wonderfulness of her talents.

Not once, did the baptist pastor man or his wife, ask one single question about our family, no, not a one. This couple spoke down to us, not in love, but in self vanity, proclaiming the greatness of themselves.

Not only did I serve them a meal out of love, but were required to be their narcissistic supply source during the dinner I labored over out of love for other human beings. And then to sit in his church on Sundays to listen to the greatness of himself, his wife, and family, made me want to vomit and go to the LORD in tears over the lesser sheep, with whom they had no interest in.

Yes, true love does not brag, and yet the most boastful and braggatory pastors to date as a born again Christian woman, loved and cherished by Jesus Christ, are baptist pastor men and women who claim to love a lord and serve him, meanwhile elevating their own selves through an apostate spirituality called the church.

And these pastor men, if Jesus were to return in the flesh again, would be, I believe, the first to murder our LORD and Savior, all over again.
