This is an unfortunate situation all around. Church should alwasy only be about one person, Jesus Christ. Too many churches have become about the pastor, creating a cult of personality. Larry Davis, of First Baptist Cold Spring, should have stepped aside at least temporarily while this mess gets cleared up. I am not assuming he is guilty or innocent, but his pride is going to cause the demise of a 1500 member Southern Baptist church and how many of those folks are never going to come back? He at the very least needs to explain the gambling charges on a bank account that he alone controls. He says on the one hand that the lawyers don't run the church and then hides behind the "advice" of his own. Hypocrite.
