He was famous for uttering the three words that we all should. “I have sinned.” RIP.

I will remember him most for what seemed to be a lot of sweat. He had a very expressive face.

May he be with God.

Most of us who have sinned do not make a living out of telling other people how to live their lives.

Yeah, the Assemblies of God removed his preaching credentials for a year after the first incident and ordered him to undergo rehabilitation. He refused both orders, so they defrocked him. It sounds like he was really sorry.

As I recall, Swaggart was tearful and remorseful the first time he was publicly outed with prostitutes. The 2nd and third times he angrily told people to mind their own business. This was not helpful for their ministry I imagine.

To all outward appearances, a grifter.
