Masters have to mess up and lie about it. But the trench to start treating them as regular people like everyone else and that idols to be worshipped. Did you.
Have an affair? And if so, when did it start? The answer is no, I didn’t. But over a year ago.
Apparently, when those mega church pastors get cut in a web of lies, deception and adultery, the first instinct is to deny it before their congregation.
If everything was true, all I gotta do is repent sincerely from my heart. But I got to repent about this. All I got to do is step over top of it. I can.
Keep all going on. And in most of those make it trick faster scandals, it doesn’t seem like the truth matters. What matters is if the congregation will continue to support.
Them. I’ve been accused I’m under attack. I want you to know, as I said earlier, I am not a perfect man, but this thing I’m gonna fight.
And this typically works up until the evidence against them is just too much to ignore. In the speech.
You said that you would fight to charges. So why did you settle the case? The old gambling song got no when to hold it, no. When to fold it, no when to walk.
Away. To be honest with you, I was not even supported. Why is that statement from the defame laid Bishop Eddie Long? Because the church in America has for the most part trending to an industry and enterprise, if you will, where the talented, the private and powerful will prevail no matter the gravity of their moral failures.
My rebellion took a form of immorality that I don’t like to talk about much. I was very sexually immoral. It started early in my life and it became, it was very easy for me.
And those leaders may seem powerful and influential on the outside, but when it comes to spiritual power without a void of it, and why do I say that? It’s because spiritual power is generated by godly character and a consistent holy life. After all, the only people the Holy Spirit fills with his power, a godly people. And those megatritch pastors and leaders are anything but godly. They’re.
Interesting times, crazy, slenderest documentaries. And the only reason for that is because wholesong is youth worthy as usually, because all.
That God has.
Done. Let’s think about this for a minute. If you’re a leader or pastor or an elder, you cannot expect to be used by god in building his kingdom if you’re hiding some secrets in that you unwilling to confess and repent from.
Some. 1,0,1, verse 6, he who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. John Owen said a minister may fill his views, his communion role, the mouths of the public, but what he is on his knees in secret before Almighty God that he is and no more.
I Learned a lie and manipulate because I also had rejection. I didn’t wanna be rejected. So I looked for the girls that would be the most susceptible and I Learned how to spot this in girls.
Those passes in leaders have managed to manufacture two lives, a life for people to see and appreciate on Sunday mornings and their real life, which is sick, secretly concealed from the public and is unfortunately filled with all kinds of evil, wickedness, uncontrolled loss and unrepentant.
Sin, unholiness, sin in the heart will show up in unrighteous behavior and disqualify the man of god.
A woman.
Has come forward accusing the pastor of an or Texas mega church of .
If one thing is certain inevitant in the scriptures is that God will not use unholy, conscrupulous, conniving, manipulative people to build his kingdom. God uses righteous, a spirit field in people of integrity to build his.
Kingdom. To have integrity is to have the same heart that god has. So our quest is, men of god, is to have the heart that god do. We be a man after God’s own heart. And that is a priority for all of us.
And you can always gauge the integrity of a pastor on how they respond to social issues that the Bible has a clear answer to. And the special issues that have mole and theological implications in a directed back in the lives of individuals, families, culture and society as a whole. So.
It’s not a sin in your church to have an abortion?
That’s kind of conversation we would have finding out your story, where you’re from, what you bring. Like, yeah, I mean, God’s the judge. People have to live with their own convictions. And I think if I have to tell you. Do you think LGBT community in the black church can coexist? Absolutely. God, have mercy on your.
Soul. If a so called men of god has no biblical integrity, which means he has no reference for God, then I wouldn’t expect him to have integrity anywhere else.
Please share me. This is important. Wouldn’t you rather return the first 10% to god and have all of your finances blessed or lose it anyway and have all of your finances cursed.
False teachers suppose that godliness is a means of gain. False teachers everywhere in Scripture, old and New Testament, are said to be in it for the money. They make merchandise of you so.
You can bring it to the house of god. And the 90% can be blessed, or you can keep it in your bank account and it’ll still go out of your bank account. When your washing machine breaks, are your car breaks, are you lose your job. But.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction for the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil. And some, by longing for it, have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. And while that is generally true, that revelation comes in a text that is speaking to pastors, false teachers are in it for the money. You cannot be.
How should the black church be? The community?
I think it’s gonna be diverse from church to church. Every church has a different opinion on the issue. And every gay person, it’s different. And lgbts of types and sorts have to find a household of worship that reflects what your views are and what you believe like anybody.
Else. Just as a parenthetical comment, I just wanna say that it’s actually really sad to hear those megatritch pastors and spiritual leaders selling out their integrity by compromising the truth of scripture in the gospel live on air. And for what exactly? Because they wanna be liked by the world and be marketable to an ungodly call culture when the norm for preachers has turned into making money instead of allegiance to Jesus Christ, getting famous instead of faithful natural scripture. Then you end up with a plateau of creatures just looking to get rich. Infamous, no matter the cust, even if they compromise the gospel and lose their integrity.
We can, if we’re not careful, have two lives. Have the life that is on the outside that we have groomed over the years. It’s a hypocritical life. It’s a life that we show on the outside. It’s not the real thing. It’s not who we really are. And then there’s the inside, the real life. And lately.
It’s almost shocking not to come across a breaking news of a scandal from a mega church involving a pastor or stepping down for some secret tin or an affairs been discovered in women and mistresses is a coming forward for alleged assault or cheating scandal. And in some cases it’s even worse. Robert.
Morris is the founder and senior pastor at Gateway Church in Southlake. A woman has come forward alleging wars sexually abuse her as a child for four years starting in 1982. In response to the allegations, Morris reportedly told the Christian news outlet he engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior.
We have an epidemic in the pastoral ministry in America. Pastors fall in like flies because of immorality. What.
In the world is going on in the church? Popular Southern Baptist Past Master Matt Chandler announced over the weekend that he is temporarily stepping down from his role as a lead pastor of his church because of an inappropriate online.
Relationship. Well known Dallas pastor Doctor Tony Evan stepped aside from leading the 10,000 member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. Evan cited a past sin as the reason for the move after more than 40 years at the pulpit.
ABC News exclusive, the woman allegedly behind the affair that brought down Hillsong Church, celebrity pastor Carl LEDs speaking out.
Low integrity when it comes to the pulp it. And we then need to have integrity when it comes to our moralise along with our children.
Those are the two overarching virtues of the man of god. He’s godly on the outside because he’s godly in the heart. Watch your heart, watch your motives, watch your desires, and that’ll take care of your conduct.
Whatever you are in your heart will show up on the outside through the years, I’ve said this thousands of times, time and truth go hand in hand. Given enough time, the truth comes out. You can’t hide your heart.
Sixty five year old Reverend John Low, who has been married to his wife Debbie for 45 years, poured out his heart to his congregation in Warsaw, Indiana during Sunday services. I said I committed the daughter. It was nearly 20 years ago. It continued far too long, but it didn’t quite go as he hoped. Church goers rewarded him with a standing ovation, but things soon took a darker turn. I mean, to say that, you deserve to hear it. A woman named Bobby Geppert joined him on the altar and said she was the woman involved and the preacher was not telling the whole story. I was just 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know you do. You did things to my teenage body that had never and should have never been done. She said she had been traumatized for 20 years by her experience at his hands. Then the woman’s husband, Nate, joined in and held up some jewelry. This was Bobby’s coming Peary ring, which she wore while this man had sex with her. And she felt ashamed all these years as she stormed out of the church, members of the congregation embraced her and shouted angrily at their pastor. You did. You need to admit it. 100%. Okay.
