Another One Bites The Dust: Greg Sargent Out...

Sargent resigned on Friday, and announced he would IMMEDIATELY start holding 'sabbath' services.

To Whom It May Concern:


Today [December 17, 2010], I resigned from the corporate body of the United Church of God.

The reason I was asked to resign is because I have supported the good faith efforts to address and to solve the divide and conflict in which UCG now finds itself. The administration of the United Church of God considers my stand as not supporting UCG management. This is a sad irony. Unless I am allowed to use the exact same criteria I have used for over 44 years in the ministry—following and supporting leaders as they follow Christ’s example, I have no other recourse except to resign.


Examples of my conflict with promising unquestioning loyalty to the administration is laid out in the three documents, What Really Happened in Latin America?, What Are The Real Issues? and What Were The Real Efforts To Seek Reconciliation? (available on request).


My responsibility as a shepherd is to feed and protect the flock. If I remain silent about tainted food being distributed to God’s flock in order to promote peace and harmony in God’s congregation that I pastor, I prove myself to be a hireling and only interested in peace among men. Truth sometimes brings conflict. Despite the uproar caused by Christ when He spoke the truth, true disciples had peace with God.

We are reminded that in April of 1995, a leader tried to intimidate those he called rebels by stating, “In congregations where the pastors have taught faithfully the focus on Jesus Christ…there is little discontent and turmoil. But in congregations where pastors have avoided following headquarters…there is turmoil.”

As we all learned then, living in peace with a contented but deceived congregation was not our main goal. We chose contentment with godliness. Thus we parted ways.


The apostle Paul chose truth over harmony when writing to the Corinthians about immoral behavior. He incited godly disharmony when he later corrected them for accepting and putting up with a different spirit, those whom he defined as deceitful workers.


Dealing with disharmony and standing up for what is right is a necessary part of growing in the character of Jesus Christ. In fact, there must be divisions among us so that those who are approved are recognized (1 Cor. 11:19).


In all this, I do not claim perfect behavior or excellent wisdom in my every approach. I ask for forgiveness for any less than fitting demonstrations of the mind of Christ in me. I can truly say with the apostle Paul that I have not already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid on me (Philippians 3:12).


I will continue to labor in God’s Work until the mind of Christ is formed in all of us (Gal. 4:19) in order that God’s Spirit will give life to our mortal bodies and an inheritance into the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ. 

In Christ’s Name,


Gregory L. Sargent

Church of God America - We Are Not A Church! Really! Really We're Not!

UCG's new splinter personlity cult is tripping all over it's self claiming they are not a 'new' church.

1. Is Church of God – America the nucleus for a new corporate Church of God?

No. Church of God-America is not a corporation nor was it started with the intention of becoming one. We are a voluntary association of pastors and elders who are committed to implementing the Ephesians 4 model for Church of God congregations.

Anyone with half a brain can read their web site and see that is not true!

As we look to see what God intends for the future, we will go forward as the scripture reveals a church should function. Because it is impossible to set up a perfect church, we will function in the biblical model of a healthy church.

Job descriptions have been laid out for ministers:

Pastors commit to teach and practice the Ephesians 4 model in their congregations. Pastors commit to follow the job description and duties outlined in Ephesians 4. In sermons and Bible studies, we will focus on doctrine, discernment, and application of the truth.

 We hope to have quarterly teleconferences and discuss how things are working. At the end of six months, we will evaluate what we’ve learned in banding together as spiritual brothers. 

God forbid if you as a church member   expect to have your voice heard!  Dream on...

Although we appreciate the interest individual members may have, our goal is limited to mutual support among congregations.

Church areas have been established:

Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Chile
Uruguay
Guatemala
Honduras
El Salvador
Mexico
Perú
Colombia
Ecuador
Venezuela
Church of God - Louisiana
Church of God - South Texas
Church of God - Canada

But brethren we really, really want you to know we are NOT a church!  Really! No sirree Bob!  But we will gladly take your tithe money.  Send it to one of the above addresses.  Pretty please!
