I, being a man of GOD , called to preach this glorious gospel of our lord and Saviour
Jesus the Christ view this landscape and see the ruin left by many. It hurts me
deeply to see the scandals that plague the Christian community. What happens
to the trusting heart who has put everything in their church and pastor. What
happens when the pastor you love, and respect dearly and hold in high regard
becomes what he or she has always been, human!! What happens when some
awful, accusation made against your pastor starts out with no real strength
and suddenly it might be valid!! You being the loyal member stand steadfast
sometime quietly trembling with a tad bit of doubt, still believe.While some
don't hold up well beneath the weight of scandal and are so hurt in it's
aftermath, that they do not recover, and do not return to their beloved church.
What of the already cynical? Who become the poison ministers and spread
poison on to others who have been weakened by their church ordeal. What of
the youth, you know the ones who are suppose to be our future, what a
blow to their self esteem. Often they are the vulnerable fragile targets of
egomanical, wealthy, influential spiritual predators. There is only one true
answer to all of these what happens to and what of this or that one questions.
For every person disillusioned, hurt, rejected, taken advantaged of, turned out
molested, or treated badly by a pastor or church member,we must love the
lord with all our heart, all our mind ,all our strength, all our soul!! our cry must
be ''i turn to you'' Lord God, i turn to you!! Follow not your pastor, but the GOD
in your pastor. Paul said ''imitate me as i imitate Christ. Pray for christian
leaders, for the enemy is launching an all out attack on the ministry.
In all of this dear GOD, i turn to you, not my pastor, deacon, apostle
prophet, evangelist etc,human is all they can be but always GOD!!
I TURN TO YO!!
