Rev. Dr. Robert Matton Who Was Ill Treated By ...
Contributed by Tim Smith on May 12, 2013 (message contributor)
Rev. Dr. Robert Matton who was ill treated by several church leaders through secret meetings and campaign to fire him. and was summarily fired without cause by the Binbrook United Church. With that, all of his plans, hopes and dreams for ministry were destroyed. On Sept. 17 after throwing all of his ministry resources away, he went on a walk with his wife during which he collapsed of a heart attack, a broken heart, at the age of 55. This caused by the body of Christ which he had faithfully served for 3 years. Our words either build up or tear down. They either bring the unity which Jesus prayed for in His church or disunity. We either profess our faith in Jesus by what we say or we deny Him.
