"Young man", said the deacon at the head of the table, "if you want to preach at this church, you will have to forget about the law and just preach grace. That's our policy...our deacon board law for new prospects. Stay on our good side and you will not want for nothing."
This was pastor Chuck "Spur" Jones' last day with Freedom Baptist church. He had only been there 6 months when he told the deacon board that he thought the church should be elder-led.
In the end, the new pastor's well reasoned request to replace the King James Version pew Bibles with the E.S.V. was shot down by the old argument, "If the King James was good enough for the apostle Paul, it is good enough for us."
