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.".

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." (Hosea 4:6).

HE don't know GOD maybe you was a pastor that takes Church as a business...a workshop

smart man!

He had to kill himself so that if could go to meet him and talk to God face to face.

i knew it couldn't have been a Nigerian pastor

Jesus said blessed is he who is not offended because of me Matthew 11:6. I once read that the man had been a pastor since he was 21, that means he has been a pastor for 21 good years since he is 42 now, yet shot himself 'cos he ain't feeling God. I wonder what relationship he had with God all those pastoral years?

We are many at times guilty of just growing in activities of religion at the mercy of personal relationship with God. But I believe there is more that meets the eyes here, the man cant just take his life after all those years.

I pray he rests in the bosom of the Lord!

we pray 4 God's MercY
