Can you explain what you said, ‘he didn’t embrace God’s sovreignty’? Huh?
Annuities are contracts between the owner and a life insurance company. The church may have been the owner, providing payments to decedent while alive. When the husband died, the church may have taken over the stream of payments.
Had the owner been the husband, he would have likely had his wife as beneficiary, and thus no problem, as annuities, generally speaking, bypass probate.
That being said CC has a lot of good pastors, and I think God is gathering the last of His believers.
News like this will strengthen a true believers faith.
Daughter was getting $10,000 a month for what? That smells right there.
“Daughter was getting $10,000 a month for what? That smells right there.”
That’s his wife, not his daughter. The wife is 87 and suffers from dementia so the money would be going for her care.
Oh no! That’s very sad then.
I doubt that there is any problem with her receiving good care. Her son in law replaced Chuck Smith as pastor of CC Costa Mesa.
It is probably an accounting issue of some sort that was triggered upon Chuck’s death.
That's easy. Try and find a doctrinal statement or a disciplinary action made by Calvary Chapel that specifically cites and defends a monergistic view of God's sovereignty. If Calvary Church had in fact embraced it, there should be ample documentation, past and present, supporting it.
