Rev. Teddy Parker, a Macon, Georgia pastor 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.”
Rev. Parker, a 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..
"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.”.
