Generally speaking The YBPDLN Ping List is published infrequently, however based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season.
Management will not ping members to every thread addressing megachurch pastors, but will tag articles of interest with the KEYWORD: YBPDLN.
If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

Glenn Beck effect?
In 2005, he wrote that he had been a addict of pornography. This time, he said that porn was not the problem; it is alcohol addiction.
Hopefully he can come to a complete restoration.
“All men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Never heard of this guy.
Noble rescinds the Ten Commandments for 2015
When Tithing Comes With a Money-Back Guarantee
Indeed.
And pastors are held to a higher level than those of us in the pew.
Me too.
They have a hard life, even when that life is,on the outside, comfortable, If they are faithful to Christ.
Hope Noble chooses Christ over addictive root soon.
All of us, at one point or another, struggle with addiction in one form or other (emotion, action, habit etc etc)
As God would have it, not a one of us are immune.
==============================================
Hopefully he can come to a complete restoration.
He can.
He needs our prayers and God's loving grace.
That’s too bad. I hope he recovers.
For some of us, an adult beverage is not an option. I can’t speak for others, but for me its not.
I could be injured, dead or lose my job like this pastor if I ever went back to it.
By whom?
I believe compulsive and addictive behavior crosses substances.
Even the AA Big Book aimed at the alcoholic speaks of a disordered sex life for drunks that needs to be rearranged by the drunk themselves in a way that works for them.
I have been drunk and I have lusted after women and had the wrong attitude towards them, that’s for sure.
There are men out there who sober up from booze, then switch over to porn and rely on it to carry them at the substance of choice hurting themselves and others.
That's really amazing. They managed to keep it quiet for 10 days. When we had to remove a senior pastor, the action happened on a Friday, the deacons found out on Saturday, and it was announced to the congregation Sunday morning. Of course, a large number of the deacons' wives figured it out when the invites to the emergency meeting went out Friday evening, and word had leaked out to the informal leadership.
By God. It is in the Bible.
But we are totally saved if we believe that Jesus as the Son of God ( not David) and we are all joint heirs with Jesus. And we should absolutely not judge others!! “Word of God” right?
Alcohol is a liquid substance present in varying degrees of concentration in many forms of adult beverages.
Intake of alcohol is therefore quantifiable and I would like to know just how much of it constitutes misuse in this pastor’s case. Should be easy to calculate.
Not much on particulars here except for downfall & sinfulness.
God.
