Sadly, one of the common threads found in the fabric of a church coup is the desire of some to be a leader without first being willing to be a servant. Many would be quick to recite a long laundry list of all the things they do within their local fellowship, but tasks that are performed grudgingly, with an agenda, or without the heart of a servant are suspect. Still, God is the great judge, and He will decide what is wood, hay, and stubble, and what is gold.

At the end of the day, all church coups emerge from a common root... the careless, intentional scattering of the seeds of discord. The willful, rebellious sower of discord has no regard for where his seeds fall. He does not love the soil. He is bent on corruption and for this reason, according to Proverbs, the sower of discord is listed among the things that God hates, and is labeled as an abomination to God.

Discord is the fictional account of a minister in the crosshairs of a man who has a history of manipulating the local congregation, and of the members who have allowed him to divide them. Once again, they find themselves floundering in the wake of his attempts to add yet another pastor to his list of casualties.

Cleston Chambers, however, is not an easy target, nor is he easily intimidated. He has agreed to step behind the pulpit and face unholy alliances head-on. His unorthodox policies soon create panic, and he is rumored to be a cult leader, but one thing is certain. Regardless of the unusually high number of turnovers of pastors that have earned this church the nickname of the Revolving Door Church, Pastor Cleston Chambers is determined that he will not be the next notch on their gun.
