NASB | Ephesians 5:3 ¶ But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:3 ¶ But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. |
Bible Question:
A young lady who can sing like a lark, was our lead praise singer. She was already a husbandless single mother. She became pregnant again, but the pastors/elders allowed her to continue leading the praise service. The pastor's wife has a cousin who was divorced after having an affair with a man. He has remarried another woman, and he is now the lead praise singer. How should a Church, particularly the elders and/or the pastor handle this? Should 1 Cor5:1-7 be applied? His, Bereaniam |
Bible Answer: Hi Bereaniam, I never want to be in the position of second guessing what the leadership of a congregation, of which I am neither a leader, or even a member, is doing or not doing. These will be accountable before God. If you believe that they are in sin, pray for them, as if you were praying for the life of your child. I would not knowingly support someone in a church leadership position who I knew was living in unrepentant in sin. But to answer your question, the elders and pastor should handle this in the way that the Holy Spirit directs them. Nothing more, nothing less, and I don't know what that is, because I am not inside of that situation. But for those of us who are not appointed by God as leaders in the church, we must pray pray pray for our leaders. I know I haven't exactly answered your question, but I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
