I have been watching these guys from the distance for some time now. It is not a pretty picture.
" The church network, which moved its headquarters last year to Louisville, Ky., was hit with a lawsuit last November filed by former SGM church members claiming a cover up of child physical and sex abuse, allegedly at the hand of some leaders. SGM has asked a Maryland judge to dismiss the lawsuit, which plaintiffs want to attain class-action status, claiming that the courts cannot get involved in a church's internal affairs. Attorneys representing the network also say the suit should be tossed due to the vague nature of the allegations. Mahaney, Tomczak and John Loftness, who resigned as chairman of the SGM board in February, are among those named in the lawsuit. A judge is expected to rule on whether to accept the case or not in May."
Were Calvinist Holy Rollers Predestined To Fall Into Sex Abuse Scandal?
Ping for later
Another Crazed Charismatic Preacher Falls. Note may be Reformed but not calvinist. Reformed has been influenced by the teachings of Finney to the point too many Reformed Churches are no longer recognizable. If this Church operated under the sovereignity of God, this pastor would have understood arrogance, pride and humility. Sovereign Grace Ministry has become a misnomer for C. J. Mahaney - Church Growth Movement has gone to his head
Everything must be compared to Watergate, Great Depression, or Hitler.
