On occasion my family and I visit Solid Rock, this Sunday May 23, 2010 was more than we ever expected. It started out as a traditional Sunday, the choir sang, pass the collection plate , prayer, and then the introduction of the pastor.
It all exploded when Apostle Anderson took the microphone and proceeded to introduce the new chosen members of the church board. As Apostle Anderson began swearing the members in, all hell broke loose. When one of the associate Pastors from the pulpit starts yelling "this is not of god, this is not of god, stop what you are doing, and preach! " over and over again!
Everyone was shocked because it looked like a fight was going to break out from the outburst but Anderson kept on making his announcement while members looked in awe! While this disruption was going on a half the church walked out. Several members tried to regain order and approached the associate pastor and asked him to leave, but he was not having it!
This went on for 10 minutes when a male member of the church came and hugged the appostle as he was preaching. Several Ushers stepped up and removed the man from the pulpit. The Associate Pastor grabbed a microphone and started spilling the beans. That the church was in foreclosure and the only way that the bank would continue to help Solid Rock if Appostle Anderson only preached. and had nothing to do with the business. Appostle anderson began to preach that if this was his last time preaching that he would go out with a bang. Apostle Anderson stated that if you were with him stand with him good, and if not then they need to leave!
Apostle Anderson finished what he had to say dropped the microphone and left the stage like Chris Rock.
Apostle wife Tonya grabbed a microphone and started saying that evil was against her husband, and that "he was not himself". Through all the rants and raves nothing could prepare the congregation for Tonya calling three women out in church... I am not sure who they were or what they did, but when she called their names they jumped up and looked like they were ready to fight!
The last straw for me and the member sitting next to me when several members began yelling to come and pray, one lady looked at me and said " that's it," got up and left.
Maybe there was a message in seeing the church fall on their knees, although as me and my family was leaving that church, we asked the question will Solid Rock be there next week?
I felt this was something that needed to be said, what was done in the dark appeared in the light... Faith in god is what will pull you out
