A Georgia Pastor, Rev. Teddy Parker, 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." The father of two, shot himself in the head
with his own gun followingSunday service at
Bible Mount Zion Baptist Church while his
family and congregation were still at his
church waiting for him for the next service. Rev. Teddy Parker Jr., 42, of Bibb Mount
Zion Baptist Church in Macon, Ga. was
discovered by his wife, Larrinecia Parker, 38,
in the driveway of their Warner Robins
house with a "self-inflicted gunshot wound." "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.
