This state is going to heck in a handbasket.
An Oklahoma City pastor who was arrested last month has officially been charged on two counts of criminal activity. This has folks across the state wondering aloud, what in the hell (sorry, Jesus) world has happened to all of the decent, lawful, godly preachers? It seems like nowadays even the so-called good ones are being arrested for unruly behaviors.
Take Pastor Derrick Scobey of the metro’s own Ebenezer Baptist Church for example.
While by day he appears to lead a clean, wholesome life as the church's leader hosting vaccine clinics and distributing groceries to Oklahomans in need throughout the pandemic, by night Pastor Scobey exchanges divinity for debauchery in his run-ins with Oklahoma law enforcement. On the eve of Julius Jones’ scheduled execution, was arrested outside of the governor’s mansion for failure to comply with an officer and obstructing traffic.
I mean, I can’t think of a single time in the Bible when Jesus stood up to lawful authority in times of injustice.
