If you think SECC is theologically sound, then you have a problem with scripture. I praise a HOLY GOD that HE opened my eyes to truth. As one senior administrator wrote in the Outlook, "Joining SECC is like becoming a member of a Beatles Fan Club". That is more true than anyone can imagine. If there is one thing the leaders at SECC do not like, it is any truth that gets in the way of their celebrity or numbers. Did you know that one woman got fired from there because she dared suggest it was NOT a good idea to hold a staff retreat in a popular sports bar? This is true. That is the bottom line: That she expressed a problem with doing this at a staff meeting! That is ONE example of what a sick place it is. IF you saw the way the staff members spent tithe money like drunken sailors it would sadden most. How about tithe dollars to send women managers to the day spa for a retreat? I could go on and on. People do not care about truth and the sin continues. By the way, Churches do not need CEO's, they need Shepherds. Kent, I attended SECC for 15 years.

By the way, Churches do not need CEO’s, they need Shepherds.

It's amazing how one longs for paradise after being in a place like Hawaii. What a wonderful God that would make pretty places just to bring us joy! Being a photographer, I took just over 900 images in just under 7 days. My camera is still smokin'! Hope your experiences were as life changing and beautiful as mine!

Don't you think that's kinda funny...and untrue? I realized quickly how far behind I was theologically upon taking my first theology course in seminary. Biblicaly literate, for sure. (Thanks, ACU.) Theolgically literate, not so much. Church of Christ-ers as theologians? Don’t you think that’s kinda funny…and untrue?

It was a Monte Carlo, beige in color. However, all is forgiven, just keep sending me those $100 monthly checks. Matt, yes, I believe the block was melted, if I remember correctly.

Our kids have been able to see how churches and members should cooperate for the common good and God's glory. They also see that there are no perfect churches, only people in need of God's grace. In my oldest daughter's 11th grade Bible class they have been asked to visit a church that is much different from their church and write an impression paper. Religious and racial prejudice were certainly the two most devasting influences in Bible times and they are seeking to destroy godly influences in the world today. Let me also say that I'm in on the Jack's Creek BBQ. Nothing finer.
