Welcome to the Jungle....
Just to introduce myself, but I am a 25 year old redneck from Memphis who created this blog to express his takes on everything from sports to politics to even the lint in the dryer!. Warning, some of my takes may not be politically correct. So if my take offends you...deal with it. I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours.

It is a jungle. Be careful out there.

At Bellevue there was unapproachability and intimidation--the "aura" around the leader kept the followers in "awe";
There emerged an organization built around a man and his peculiar emphases instead of around Christ and His Word.
I am banned from posting on NBBCOF because I question their continual dumping on Steve Gaines (he has made his share of blunders and errors) but they will not tolerate any criticism of Adrian Rogers' pastorate.
I have no vendetta against Dr Rogers but He left a messy situation for Dr. Gaines to undo. There were no congregational meetings for the involvement of the members in decisions. Dr. Rogers decisions were blindly accepted as what was "best for the Church" He was a benevelent dictator of the nicest sort, but yet a dictator.
The pedophile roamed the halls for seventeen years directing prayer and counseling. I have to say that there is some sort of negligence at work here for this to take place for this long. Call me naive, but isn't the Holy Spirit involved in ministry to some degree? If ministry is completely self-determined then I would expect this sort of deception to take place but this is Christ's church!
Or could it be that Christ has a dissapointment with Bellevue's self-determination and left them to their own destruction?
What ever is going on has ramifications all across American Churches and we are going to see more judgements againt them.
