Bible Question: Two years ago, a brother and a sister in our church had sexual relationship. Both are single. Later the girl was suffered from venereal disease. Two week ago, we discovered a married pastor has sexual relationship with a single sister in the church for one year. The pastor keeps leading praise and worship in many revival meeting. Does the bible have any advise when the church is in such situation? Actually, these thing disappoint me a lot. I have been long for a pure and perfect church for many years. But I think it is impossible now. The church is full of conflict, full of gossip, full of sin. |
Bible Answer: Ivory313: May I add a welcome to you from the forum. I beleive Matthew 18: 12 to 35. This is thw exact action your body should take. No Pastor or preacher is doing anything for Christ under these circumstances. i am sure there are cluture differences from your place to ours, but the principle is still the same. My heart brakes for you and those who are enduring this pain and shame. I will remember you and how you deal with Gods; wisdom in these matters. agape, justme |
