What's happening to our RELIGIOUS LEADERS? (628 hits)
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I FIND MYSELF TRADING ABOUT OR HEARING ABOUT MINISTERS THAT HAVE FALLEN INTO s*xUAL SINS. EVERYONE IS BUZZING ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO BISHOP EDDIE LONG THE PASTOR OF NEW BIRTH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH IN LITHONIA GA. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT CONDONE WHAT HE HAS DONE NOR WILL I REJOICE IN HIS SUFFERING, PEOPLE BELIEVED IN HIM AND LOOKED UP TO HIM. WHAT I'MA ANGRY ABOUT IS HOW SOME CHRISTIANS IDOLIZE THERE LEADERS. NO MAN IS ABOVE SIN, THE BIBLE SAID THAT "ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" THAT INCLUDES MEN AND WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP/ JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE LEADRER DOESN'T MAKE THEM ERROR PROOF, WHEN ARE WE GONNA TAKE THE ROSE COLORED GLASSES OFF? THEY LIVE IN THE SAME WORLD WE LIVE IN AND FIGHT THE SAME TEMPTATIONS WE FIGHT, THE ONLY DIFFRENCE IS THEY ARE IN THE PULPIT. WE HOLD THEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD BUT WHAT WE FAIL TO KEEP IN MIND IS THIS" THEY HUMAN AND BORN TO MAKE MISTAKE'S. I'M GOING TO START PRAYING FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN IN LEADRSHIP, BE IT IN THE CHURCH OR IN THE WORLD. WE SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR HUMAN GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS THE CHURCH. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS, IT'S SAD TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CHUCH AND WE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL NEED TO BE ON OUR POST, NOT STANDING UP BUT ON OUR KNEES. PRAY SAINT'S PRAY

I absolutely agree that we must pray, but I want to add to that ... we must WATCH as well as pray. In addition to this, the scriptures equally states that we shall know a tree by the fruit that it bears. What am I saying? Good, I'm glad you asked. Many times pastors elevate himself and not necessarily the people in the congregation. In many cases, the parishioners want to see their leaders blessed but what ends up happening is the pastors the advantage to promote their agenda. Moreover, I would like instances like this New Birth to serve as teachable moment where people should stand back and observe religious organizations and find out a few things before becoming members.
