It’s a shame, and yet the world might not be as condemning as he’d fear. Today it’s like “oh, was it just porn?”
I hope and pray he soon gains strength in the Lord again, licks the devils behind this, and then comes back stronger to help others out of such difficulties. Satan shall not get the last word.
AMEN to that, my FRiend. And as we both know, the Good News is that Bob Coy can be forgiven and totally cleansed of his sin. And that is comforting to me in more ways than anyone will ever know!
Which is worse, a (mega)church with a pastor/leader who has personal (private) failings or a church/national order which redefines “what is and is not sin” (such as same sex marriage, actively gay ministers, etc.)?
We are all sinners, some seek to declare to the followers that their sins are not sinful and should even be celebrated.
It’s a personal failing but it doesn’t indicate a betrayal of beliefs.
Jerry Lee Lewis studied at bible school. He still believes even if he doesn’t live up to the morals (and he does feel regret).
There was a documentary I saw on Amish youths in their period of “free wandering”. The filmmakers couldn’t understand how even if the kids didn’t return to Amish society (couldn’t abide by it), even when they engaged in sin and liked it, that they still held a belief in a God that may not approve of their actions.
Amen, and I second that.
Way too many people point fingers, but they will never understand the pressure the world puts on men of God, do all fail, no, but one of the men whom God loved the best did, King David. So if David can fall, what makes us so special today to think we cannot.
