Oral Roberts’ ex-prez: God forced resignation
This is a strange story!
MSNBC-The ex-president of Oral Roberts University on Wednesday told students that he did not want to resign as head of the scandal-plagued evangelical school, but he did so because God insisted.
Richard Roberts told students in the university’s chapel that God told him on Thanksgiving Day that he should resign the next day.
Roberts said he resisted the idea, and that “every ounce of my flesh said ‘no,’” but he prayed over the decision with his wife, Lindsay Roberts, and his father, Oral Roberts, and decided to step down.
