“You know, I made a comment the other day, I wasn’t being facetious when I commented that, you know I’m thankful for that for personally what its done in my life again, whenever anything like that happens, I look at my own heart. You know, these people are upset, for one reason or another, accusations that are being made, is there any validity to it? Because I know what I am in my flesh, and if there is, I wanna change. I wanna do something about it. And you begin to start, and you examine your own heart, and you go to the Scriptures, and then you find out, you know, what the conflict is all about. And in the process of all that, it’s a thing of finding out the relationship, the personal relationship, to the lordship of Jesus and the authority of His word, to where God’s word must be done. Period. And when, then as the messengers we are hated for the message, then that’s something to rejoice in, when all men speak evil of you, if you are representing the gospel.” – Pastor Scott
Wow. Vague is so Vogue right now. Mistakes Were Made. For us, awww. All better. Let’s kiss and make up. I’m good, you’re good (sorta/kinda). Me bad, so We suffer. Sniffle. Hark, message from God, chin up my little pewpeons. Rejoice. Maybe we can squeeze a little gospel out of this situation after all…thats a pretty big If. Btw, in a general sense, but not specifically, exactly what variety of ‘mistakes’ are we talking about Pastor?
But God says: “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out” (Ezekiel 34:1-11)

“Mistakes Were Made” — But Who Is Really Being Fooled?
This statement from Bob Scott is one of those moments where the words sound humble—until you listen carefully to where they lead.
He begins by saying that when accusations are made, he examines his own heart. Are the accusations valid? Is there something in his flesh that needs to change? He says he goes to Scripture and submits himself to the lordship of Jesus and the authority of God’s Word.
But then he justifies himself.
If the criticism is because he is representing the Gospel, then, according to his reasoning, he is being hated for the message—and therefore should rejoice.
And there is the problem.
The people speaking out weren’t trying to destroy the Gospel. We were trying to expose what we believed was happening to God’s people and, ultimately, to see the destruction stop.
I know exactly who Bob was referring to in this statement. I was one of those people. And there were others.
So when I hear him move from “Is there any validity to these accusations?” to “We are hated for the message,” I don’t hear repentance.
I hear justification.
And the vagueness is striking.
What exactly were the “mistakes”?
Who was hurt?
Who was responsible?
And what was done about it?
“I’m sorry this happened” is not the same thing as repentance. And acknowledging that something has gone wrong while simultaneously portraying yourself as the persecuted messenger of God isn’t accountability.
Which brings me to the passage of Scripture I cannot, nor can I ever, separate from this entire subject:
Ezekiel 34.
God’s indictment against the shepherds of Israel is devastating. They fed themselves instead of the flock. They failed to strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring back those who had been driven away, and seek the lost.
And then God says:
“I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand.” — Ezekiel 34:10, ESV
That is not a warning to take lightly.
God takes His sheep seriously.
And that’s why I find this statement—and the way Tactics presented it—so troubling. The accompanying music video is dark, and I think it captures something of the message being communicated: Yes, perhaps mistakes were made. It’s unfortunate. But what can you do? I’m good.
But are the sheep good?
Because that’s the question that matters.
And here we are, eleven years later, in August 2026.
The things we spoke out about did not simply disappear because someone stood behind a pulpit, quoted Scripture, and reframed the conflict as persecution.
The sheep still matter.
And Ezekiel 34 reminds us why.
God sees the shepherds.
God sees the sheep.
God sees what was done.
And ultimately, God Himself will judge.
Tactics’ closing thought—“Who is he really fooling?”—is worth leaving here.
Because people can be persuaded.
Appearances can be maintained.
A pulpit can be used to justify almost anything.
But God is not fooled.
A Word of Warning
If you are considering Calvary Temple as a church, please do your homework. Do not be fooled by the polished facade.
I am not speaking about this ministry because I have some personal vendetta against Calvary Temple. I am speaking because I have personally experienced what I am describing, I have witnessed the damage, and I believe people—especially families with children—deserve to know what they may be walking into.
I do not believe Calvary Temple is a safe or healthy church environment.
There are Biblically sound churches in the area. Cornerstone Chapelis one example. Please seek out a church where Scripture is truly the authority, where leaders are accountable, where repentance is genuine, and where the sheep—not the reputation of the shepherd—are protected.
Don’t be impressed by the facade.
Test everything against the Word of God.
Your family is too important. Your children are too important. And your relationship with Jesus Christ is far too important to entrust to a ministry simply because it looks good from the outside.
