Bob Coy, Mercy and Truth

My last post was prompted by the Bob Coy sexual scandal—an epic “blow up” that affected many.

Sadly, “blow ups” of this type are not as rare as they should be among Christians. They happen when a man is unable to mask the lust brewing in his heart. His sin is exposed and he reaps what he has sown. Whether fully public or in the privacy of a family, the consequences are always devastating.

What is the proper response to this kind of thing? What do you say?

Things to learn from the Bob Coy, "blow up."

The vast majority of such falls originate with the sin of pride: “pride cometh before a fall.....”

Part of the pride comes from men allowing themselves to be exalted by man/others to places and positions never really in God’s plan (building their own kingdoms instead of God’s), and the other part from believing that they cannot fall..........

That is the way it looks to me, after the fall we can realize that we are not above any one else and never was.
