IS REV. DR LUCILLE BAIRD BITTER WITH BARBADOS?

This note was sent to me by a Solange Bishop. I might add that there are many issues with which I concur, having been once myself. I never went back for other reasons. I am not interested in the high-flying, tithe-begging, prosperity preaching sorts that we see on TBN. I am a Cheerful giver and will tithe indeed but I too am turned off by Pentecostal Preachers who seem embittered and embroiled in some relentless complaining. By the way, last Sunday on 92.9FM VOB, Rev. Baird said there was moral decay in Barbados. There is moral decay everywhere but what was sad was that her bitter sounding monologue seemed a poor example to Young people seeking Christ and those barely holding on to faith.

REV. DR BAIRD:
I was shocked and dismayed at your Sunday interview on 92.9FM with Stetson Babb where you constantly berated Barbadians (in my mind you very own "sheep") and whined and complained in the most anti-Christian manner I have ever heard. I have attended your Church on more than one occasion and the service was regular, (nothing to write any Diocese/Seminary -Evangelical or otherwise - about), but then I go to seek Christ and not to worship the messenger, so Imagine my shock when you d complain to Stetson Babb that you are "A prophet who is not without honour except in your own land" and get VIP treatment in Nigeria; give free food (your words, none of which I ate) at the Zion Apostolic Ministries and served for 27 years assisting the Prisoners at the then Glendairy. While your Ministries may be noteworthy, the Good Book says that The almighty Father will recognize us not by good deeds but by our faith, belief in him and acknowledgement of Him. Worse, all this was spewed to the entire world on the internet. You sounded bitter. This is not Christian. You even complained bitterly about "sheep stealing". The same way you opened a Church and have choristers from other Churches, others may also open a church if they so feel ANOINTED! The Church belongs to Christ and is his bride, not yours. Dispense with the Vanity Dr Baird and humble yourself, lest you be humbled.

In that interview, we had to listen to your business while at the other side of your mouth you said you abhor gossip. No one is interested in trials of your mortgages, land or anything like this Rev. Dr Baird. We are interested in a closer relationship with God not complaints about being "slighted" (your words again, perhaps because an OBE is the lowest order on the proverbial totem pole of Orders), by those before you or even the current Administration. Nor is it your business, the sexual proclivities of those who run this country; that is to be confessed to God alone I would think while the individuals seek redemption. Why is this your business Rev. Baird?Ma'am, Jesus does not care about these things and you should not convey such disdain in your people who pay you tithes to God for you to carry out Ministries and you go on vacations and take rests and respites from a place that appears to give you stress. You have an honorary doctorate from somewhere for your work; you have a Ministry where you should be helping people and not complaining yet you spent little time expressing your love for the Lord and how he has blessed you and more time castigating those who have washed their proverbial hair on your feet.

Madam, I have been there twice and since this interview you will not see me, a tithe nor anyone close to me. The interview was ungracious, unChristian and ungrateful and reeked of the typical anger we are seeing make an uprising in Barbados. Please revisit saving souls in 2009 and leave the complaining to sad and faithless Parishioners. If you want to be a Dame, wait your turn like everyone else. I shall not visit your Church again after this and indeed will happily sit among the Anglicans and hear God's word without all the prosperity preaching and begging for money that has been copied from the US Evangelical manipulators and seek God in my closet if I have to. God Bless. May the Lord have mercy on you and may his Grace touch you in those possibly hurting places. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the Chapel and find another profession. You can talk a lot, maybe motivational speaking or a call in show on 92.9FM.
SOLANGE BISHOP
