Dr. Baker's Death "His Choice"
Thu, 07/02/2009 - 9:50am
I have personally spoken with personnel at FaithWay Baptist Church and have confirmed that Dr. Baker’s death was self-inflicted. They stated that "we don’t understand why," but also ask that we remember the good things the Lord was able to accomplish through his life and ministry. Please uphold his widow Melissa, daughters Allison and Christi-An and their husbands and children, the church and staff, and associated ministries in prayer. Comfort, wisdom, and grace are needed during this time.
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
2 Cor. 1:3-4, KJV
Please refrain from unfounded rumor and speculation in the comments. While this is a "story," as believers, we ought also to remember that real sisters and brothers are suffering excruciating loss right now, and many are reading what is submitted here. Proceed with wisdom and grace.
Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace.
-Charles Wesley
