What was most distressing was not only the betrayal of God's Word, but the fact that Richard Stearns allowed this in the first place.

I know pastors and people who are friends with him. He is a Cornell and Wharton school grad. He was VP of the Franklin mint, and then CEO of Lenox. He gave up millions per year to lead World Vision, and to serve Christ as President of World Vision.

Why would he do such a thing? I have asked that question 1,000 times the last couple of days. When given a choice between the sinful world and God, you are to choose God every single time.

He deserves kudos for reversing this, but the damage, I am afraid, is done.

What made it even worse was how he was basically spitting in the faces of everyone who believed strong about the issue by comparing it to infant vs. adult baptism disagreements.

We all make errors in judgement. WEe all sin. Heck...I’ve made some doozies. The thing is that 1 John 1:9 STILL IS IN EFFECT....

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

As long as Stearns confesses, he will be forgiven.

Yes, there WILL be consequences (although sometimes the Lord in His mercy even eases those), but I hope they learned a lesson.
