Steven Lawson fell recently in inappropriate relationship as well. That one was a huge blow to McArthur and friends.

How was that a huge blow to John McArthur?
Could you clarify?

They are like best preacher friends or something. Know a lady, who was real big on McArthur. She wound up in Lawson's church. When the news recently came out she was devastated.

Preacher worship really is a bummer.

Jesus has never let me down.

I hear they can’t wait until Lawson is restored so he can get back in the pulpit.
Now everyone will get another chance to be devastated, when he messes up again.

You heard what? Was that sarcasm? Their movement takes these things seriously. The word is that he is disqualified from ministry.

Yes, there are those who want this pervert back in the pulpit.
When Bob Coy was caught for his adultery, half the church wanted him back in the pulpit. Lawson is a headliner, and has a fan base that still want him back. Remember they believe it is impossible to stop sinning. If that is the case, then how can he be expected not to sin, and how can people not forgive him. Chris Reed posted a new video where he rambles about his adultery. He still has his fan club. In this new video he has proven he lost him mind over his situation. Brother, these guys are kept around by no one else but their fans. Jimmy Swaggart never regained his fame he had before he was found out. But he still had a following who supported him. Lawson is no different.

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite

Steven Lawson is 73. The woman is in her late 20s. The word is that there was no fornication, and even lived in different states so it was kind of a platonic romantic relationship that went for 5 years.
It is very likely he will be restored but not with the same influence as before. MacArthur and friends are very strict about stuff like that.

EB,
Steven would preach for MacArthur when it was absent, for example. He also worked in the same seminar that MacArthur runs.

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite

Does there have to be intimate physical contact for a pastor to be disqualified or is it enough that the person is not "above reproach"

Chris makes the claim in his recent video that there was no intimacy besides kissing, that this incident happened three years ago, that he has already been restored. And that he along with Donald Trump are the victims of Marxist demonic cancel culture.

It would seem that flirting with and having an emotional relationship with a parishioner is a serious breach of pastoral ethics and disqualifies a pastor from being "above reproach" (1 Timothy 3:2-10; Titus 1:5-9):

* Abuse of power and trust
* Emotional and spiritual manipulation
* harm to the parishioner and congregation
* Damage to pastoral reputation and credibility
* Harm to congregation's trust and unity
