Not actually Executive Director of @SovereignGrace. Parody account, but I am supremely gifted to lead. No 3rd party investigations. #sovereigngracechurches

Next week we get to celebrate what keeps us together: CJ Mahaney! Grateful for the Gospel According to CJ!

One of my greatest regrets in ministry is not doing enough to restore CJ’s reputation enough to be in the room with his political hero. #sovereigngracechurches

[Pastor Mark Driscoll @PastorMark]

Big things coming tomorrow. Stay tuned 💪

[Not Mark Prater @NotPrater]

Keep your eyes out for an upcoming ESV Study Bible with CJ’s sermons in the notes! Jared overseeing!!!!!

I just sell the building and deflect to other “well known pastors I don’t want to name but have written 40 books”. Works every time.

We’ve always just called this CJ’s travel and honorarium budget…

BREAKING: A grp of members of Dallas-based Gateway Church have filed a proposed class action lawsuit, which names founder Robert Morris as a party.

It alleges church fraudulently claimed it was giving 15% of members’ tithe to global missions, but did not.

Mark Prater, Executive Director of Sovereign Grace Churches published a video on 9/30/2024 where he spoke about a sex scandal involving a well-known pastor that Prater humbly refrained from mentioning by name. The man he was speaking of was Steve Lawson. (I'm not breaking any news here, Lawson's name is all over the internet.) Prater seemingly just realized that sexual scandals can be utilized as a teaching moment for members of Sovereign Grace Churches.
I find it hypocritical that after numerous sexual scandals spanning the years, involving pastors of Sovereign Grace, which Prater has done his best to keep from public view, he now chooses to utilize Steve Lawson's fall from grace.
I could list several Sovereign Grace pastors that would make for great teachable moments, but I utilized the most recent man I know about - Russell Tusing from the now-defunct Sovereign Grace Church of LaGrange, GA.
Russell was arrested earlier this year and charged with sexually abusing his 13-year-old daughter. Russell remains in the county jail awaiting trial.
Prater maintains silence.

Lots of discussion about unsealed documents this morning. Note to self: check with our lawyers about our NDA’s.

CJ deserves nothing less than ABSOLUTE loyalty!

[Not Mark Prater @NotPrater]

Asking these divisive people (who were difficult to work with!!!) to leave has helped us gain greater uniformity for our fifth decade! #courage #leader #sovereigngracechurches #cjmahaney

[Jacob Young @JacobYoung84]

Sovereign Grace Churches celebrates 40 years of ministry this fall. That’s 40 years of Christ’s people being treated as collateral damage for the sake of CJ Mahaney’s leadership and legacy.

[Not Mark Prater @NotPrater]

In SGC we know how to handle these situations: Close the church, take the money, and most importantly, refuse third party investigation! We’re happy to have Tommy set up a consultation meeting. #sovereigngracechurches

[Todd Wilhelm @ThouArtTheMan]

Robert Morris admitted to "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady." The "young lady" was 12 years old! The "inappropriate sexual behavior" continued for 4+ years!

If there’s one thing we know how to do, it’s covering our tracks. #sovereigngracechurches

[Karli Barnett @KarliBarnett]

The church website for Sovereign Grace LaGrange appears to have been taken down, as well as their Facebook page. We drove by the church today and the sign has been removed out front.

[Not Mark Prater @NotPrater]

Grateful for all these SGC leaders marked by SUPREME wisdom and SUPREME discernment!

[Not Mark Prater @NotPrater]

Sovereign Grace Churches is grateful for @douglaswils!

@ThouArtTheMan They’re just being whores for Christ.

“Lawyers on retainer” is my favorite budget item.

Not an April fools, or an April fool. CJ is rizzen!
