PASTOR SHOOTS SELF AFTER TELLING CONGREGATION THAT GOD WAS NOT HEARING HIM
A Georgia Pastor, Rev. Teddy Parker, killed himself a few days after
telling his congregation at his church that God was not hearing him and
no longer felt a connection to God.
"I try to pray but I don't
feel like God is hearing me," Parker said to his congregation "I try to
serve but I don't feel like God is using me. And there are times in your
life when God purposely withdraws from you, he doesn't withdraw for the
sake of leaving you but he withdraws so you can grow and mature."
The
father of two, shot himself in the head with his own gun following
Sunday service at Bible Mount Zion Baptist Church while his family and
congregation were still at his church waiting for him for the next
service.
Rev. Teddy Parker Jr., 42, of Bibb Mount Zion Baptist
Church in Macon, Ga. was discovered by his wife, Larrinecia Parker, 38,
in the driveway of their Warner Robins house with a "self-inflicted
gunshot wound."
"When he didn't show up they went looking for
him," a church member, Russell Rowland, told the Post. "I'm very
surprised because he didn't preach that. He preached totally against it.
It's something that the congregation don't really understand.".
