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.
