Choices

Reading recent happenings in the Christian world - preacher filing for separation from wife, lying about having a terminal illness - have got me thinking.

Choices.

Many people have detailed their feelings, thoughts and opinions over these two matters and I suppose many of you who read my blog would assume I would pass my opinion over it as well. I only have one word again.

Choices.

Choose you today what you would say or judge over this matter. The Bible clearly says what God says concerning sin, immorality, lying, cheating etc etc. Many have pronounced judgement on the two preachers and demanded an explanation.

But the Bible clearly preaches on restoration and forgiveness as well doesn't it?

So again one word from me.

Choices.

I won't comment on the two preachers. But I will pose this challenge for all to ponder upon...

One:
If an anointed person by God sins, does this wreck and wipe away all the person's previous spiritual ministry?

Two:
Do we simply write off a healing that glorifies the name of Jesus as demonic?
Because the writer of the song lied about his terminal illness, the song Healer becomes fake?

Three:
If your faith falls because of a pastor [it can be hurt, you can be disappointed, you can be angry, you can be confused and sad] then what have you been placing your faith on?

Four:
If my faith today on God disintegrates and I leave the church because one of my pastors sin, then what is my faith in reality? Am I saved through Jesus? Is my salvation based on the finished work on the cross or my pastor?
