Guess Who
ATTENTION RLC MEMBERS: If you have eyes to see.
There is a public/secret meeting slated to take a vote about sending Tony Cunningham to plant a church. Oh yeah, and to send him with $100,000.
Has this shepherd not fleeced the flock enough?
Oh wait a minute. Tony is not the shepherd. With his own words at the meeting he called himself the father. I was there. He referred to the parable in Luke 15: which of you would not search for the one lost coin, etc. . He then referred to the parable of the prodigal son and how the father did not go after the son. Indicating that he should not go after those who have been wounded and left RLC (another note: I understand Tony hates the use of RLC versus Radiant Life Church).
Now here is the rumor part: apparently certain members will be specifically blocked from the meeting. One such member would be Warrior David Gardner. Yep you heard right. Specifically not allowed at the meeting. I would guess there are a few others as well.
________________________________
There is a lot of speculation on what is happening regarding "The Meeting" this Sunday. Things regarding what will be discussed, agenda items, motives, etc. I too have had valid information regarding the meeting. I just wanted to clear a couple of things up.
1) None of us will know exactly what will be discussed at the meeting until the meeting is over, so I think we should just wait and see and bring clarity when we have answers.
2) In regards to the 100,000.00 being sent with him. Some have even said that this is the Philippine money. No one knows where that money ever went and where it is right now, so we cannot speculate if it even exists anymore. Also, I am not sure what kind of assets are available to Tony at this point. WE can only guess. I do know that the financial health of the church is fragile. 100,000.00 would probably be a great amount of money to pull out of the church quickly. This doesnt mean that some of Tonys financial supporters wouldn't step up and support him, but at this point with all of his failings in business and partnerships, that would be a huge RISK for some individuals.
3) Some people have also gotten worked up over the fact that he may just leave over night "without a trace". I really do not think it will go down like that. Lets just hang tight and let it play itself out. As Matt Michalak has told me a few times, Tony and the Leaders are "self destructing". God is in control and has always been in control. Tony, no matter where he goes, will NEVER BE ABLE TO HIDE FROM GOD. As long as he continues to practice what he is practicing and teaching what he is teaching, I believe he will make himself an enemy of the cross and God will oppose him wherever he goes.
A side note I was just thinking about. Many of the RLC supporters have blamed a lot of us, especially Matt and I for the destruction of RLC. You can bet that some will probably blame us for ruining their "UTOPIA" because we lied about everything. As you all know, there have been public speculation at times, but we have not lied. We have always proved or disproved the speculations for everyone's sake.
I need to say something else. If Tony was doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord, than no one can be against him. God is bigger than all of us and if we were in the wrong, God would oppose us. In fact, Matt and I would be in the position that Tony is in right now. So would many of you who have fought this fight.
None of us have done anything!!! God has done EVERYTHING! He is just! He has given the "church" the opportunity to STAND UP for what is good and what is right. Gods people have lived as "cowards of the kingdom" for too long. I am blessed to have been a part of all of this and being able to stand with so many of you. I am proud for so many of you that have spoken out against all of this wickedness. Many of you have taken a hit spiritually and financially and have been looked at and spoke at as liers and crazies. I believe if we all continue to press on and not give up and not let the seed of bitterness grow in us, than we all are going to continue to reap great rewards in the future.
