MacDonald’s “confession” includes admission of gambling and TED’s response.
Over the past six weeks, The Elephant’s Debt has been committed to the process of exploring the character of James MacDonald, Senior Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel. As we have already stated under “The Hope,” it has been our desire from the very beginning for James MacDonald to experience genuine repentance regarding the matters discussed on this website. After MacDonald provided his statement to the HBC congregation this past Sunday, it would appear that he may have taken a small, initial step down the difficult road of repentance. Nevertheless, regardless of how one interprets MacDonald’s confession to the congregation of HBC, the matter of elder qualification remains. Therefore, in this post, we will seek to address both of these two matters, beginning first with the subject of elder qualification.
