Bible Note: Dear Ivory, I understand how this situation has hurt your heart. We all suffer to see the Lord exposed to scorn by the sins of His people. It is especially bad when sexual sin is found in our appointed leaders. What we cannot know for certain is the spiritual condition of another person. If this man is among God's elect, God will use this sin to cause him to repent and to humble himself and ultimately good will be the result. However if he is not a christian I pity that man and would not want to be in his shoes for all the pleasure this fallen world has to offer. God will exact justice upon him. In the meantime (and always): Trust in the Lord John |
