Nashville Pastor Placed on Leave for ‘Unhealthy’ and ‘Hurtful’ Conduct

Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee has placed Senior Pastor Scott Sauls on an indefinite leave of absence.

The good news is that Sauls, who has pastored at Christ Presbyterian for 12 years, in a video message to his congregation made it clear he had not been involved in any sexual sin or substance abuse.

And while it is refreshing to hear that considering many kingdom leaders in recent years have fallen into such traps, the bad news is that Sauls says he has committed other sins against staff members and congregation members that he must repent for.

Charles Stanley’s Grandson Issues Apology, But Continued Memorabilia Sale

After family members as well as several news outlets called him out for selling his recently deceased grandfather Charles Stanley’s personal memorabilia, Matt Brodersen Sunday issued an apology for his actions.

Despite the apology, however, Brodersen continued the sale of Stanley’s personal things on eBay saying, “People already started bidding on the items and I don’t want to take that opportunity away from them to get those items. So yes, I’m gonna leave the auction up. There’s like a day remaining of time. So, if you want to get those items, you better hurry.”

In an update to the story, The Christian Post reported that some of Stanley’s personal items Brodersen sold have been returned to the late pastor’s family “thanks to the efforts of an anonymous buyer.”

Kingdom Giants Pagani and Brown Give Satan the Divider a ‘Black Eye’

Just as Satan is trying his best to tear families apart in this chaotic and challenging end times, he is also trying to spread division in the body of Christ.

Many times, his mission is to confuse believers and to use the tool of offense over petty differences, fighting against God’s mission of unifying the church for His greater good. It happens often, and sometimes it happens between prominent kingdom leaders, as is the case with Alexander Pagani and Dr. Michael Brown.

Recently, the two became embroiled in an online discussion about the issue of Christian demon possession. A deliverance minister, Pagani, who wrote the Charisma House book, “The Secrets to Deliverance: Defeat the Toughest Cases of Demonic Bondage,” has said previously in public that “A Christian is not possessed, as in owned, by a demon.”
