A couple of thoughts:

First, since this is from WND, a big grain of salt is required.

Second, since the person making the claim was fired from her job by her own relatives, the motives for these statements have to be judged critically.

Third, if the claims are found to be true, it would not be the first time that someone started out to do a work for God, only to later be corrupted by power and money. I can think of a number of examples in the Bible as well as in both the evangelical and Catholic worlds that testify to that common human failing.

Finally, even if the claims are true, that does not lessen or change the truth of the Gospel. If the truth of the Gospel were dependent upon the behavior of Christians, we would all be lost.

Fired for what?

“The soundness and veracity of these stories are completely undermined when you realize that they depend almost exclusively upon accusations from individuals who admitted they had embezzled and misappropriated over $1 million from the network, and its companion ministry, International Christian Broadcasting,” May’s statement said.

I would think if she were "discredited" for embezzling $1 mil, she'd be in jail right now. I see no discredit.

It’s very strange that you would say such a thing. WND is an upstanding conservative site.

Rush Limbaugh speaks of WND in glowing terms, plus:

“I got a call from Rush asking for help in the preparation of his second book. Wow! His first book, “The Way Things Ought To Be,” was one of the biggest best-sellers of all time. It was my privilege to work with him closely for a period of months on what would become “See, I Told You So!”
