"The Devil's little distractions" are really giving Randall Terry a hard time.

The closer we are to following G_d's chosen path, the more obstacles the forces against G-d seem to place in our way.

Randall Terry can wear this scandal as a badge-of-honor, as evidence that he is doing the right thing. May God Bless him and keep him on His path.

Hate to be so blunt, but that's a load of crap. You seem to think Terry's tribulation is God testing him. It seems to me he's made his own bed and is now lying in it.

Sometimes God works through tribulation and sometimes personal turmoil is a result of our own srcrewups. It may bring us comfort and resolve to think that we're being tested because we're doing the Lord's work, but that can also perpetuate destructive self-delusion. It's much easier than being introspective and taking an honest assessment of your life and circumstances and how your own behavior may have gotten you there.

It certainly seems to me that if Terry's family is alienated from him, a lot of the culpability is on him.

bttt. The child was adopted at 15 and obviously, he's now chosen many paths that lead to darkness. When the money's gone, this misguided individual will lust for more. The little ingrate.
