2 | The husband of only one wife? | Titus 1:6 | tgc | 124469 | ||
justme, The situation with Dr. Stanley at FBC Atlanta is a sad one he did offer his resignation and the church rejected it. But that aside hear me out please. I do not know if you have ever had the misfortune of being deivoriced I hope not and I also do not know if you have ever served in the ministry. I can answer yes on both counts. I never said that it was unscriptual for that man to stay in the pulpit. What I am saying is that he really should step down when one goes through a divorice it is signs of a deeper problem and all of this stays with you no matter what you do this includes the pulpit. When you bring these problems with you into ministry it effects everyone you are ministring to. As the pastor you are to promote unity within the church and divorice is all about disunity. To shows this point let me tell you a story, about 25 years ago the church I grew up in dealt with this issue and the pastor stayed in the pulpit now 25 years later the church is still tring to recover from the damage done back then. As much as I love that pastor it would have been far better if he had stepped down and left the church united rather than in schambles. I relize I am probly rambling and Iam sorry but this subject hits very close to home and is the reason I will never serve as a senior pastor. Although God has given me a great ministry working in evangelism outreach. Please try to understand where I am coming from. Sometimes we must take Paul's word when he says All things are lawful for me but not all things are good. yes I am parapharsing. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||

tgc: Thank you for sharing a tender part of you life. I totally understand what you have said. Yes I have been in ministry. May I encourage you by telling you I heard today from a pastor that the Rev. Dr. Stanley and his wife did reconcile. This is good. What you have said is exactly the points I was trying to get to. I would encourage you to let the past be washed in the Blood, and not subject yourself be free from the judgement of those who would cast the first stome. Many blessings. justme |
