26,000 member church, 40 pastors on staff. 53 year old preacher, I understand him to be in the counseling ministry.

It is unfortunate that there people who call themselves men of God who are degenerate sinners - the show up in every group.

A Plano megachurch minister was taken into custody Thursday after authorities say he drove to Bryan, Texas, to have sex with a person he thought to be a 13-year-old.

There is an easy cure for people like this. A good tree and a six dollar rope.

This is an "ecumenic" thread.

That means the poster must not argue against any other beliefs. He can only argue for what he believes – or ask questions.

Several months ago I was on a flight with two or three dozen people from this church who were returning from a mission trip to the Amazonian region. I am sorry to hear of today’s reported incident, because I can’t say enough good about the people I met on the plane: they appeared quite sincere, had evidently worked like crazy, and were full of joy and edifying conversation — you could see they genuinely enjoyed being together and bore annoyances and discomforts with grace. Let’s pray they get through this well and that any malefactor repents pronto.
