One thing we cannot do is to compare yesterday to today. We cannot compare what happened in the past to what is happening today. You cannot apply today's standards to yesterday's problems or events.
People want to know about pastor Mitchell and what he did to build the Prescott church and the the Fellowship. No one but pastor Mitchell knows those details, and he is dead and gone. Those early days happened in a different world than the world we live in today.
One thing about God is that he is always today. He does not live tied to time and space. He is always here and now. Unfortunately the Bible is an ancient book written thousands of years ago and it is a lot of work to apply ancient words to a modern world. We run the risk of becoming irrelevant.
Some things are unchanging. People are people all of the time. God is God all of the time. The Bible can be understood and applied to any generation. The grass was always green no matter what side of the fence.
Instead of wondering what happened in the past, why not find out what God is doing now and do that?
