Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
Suprised no one mentioned he was elected Florida Youth President in 2008 right before this hit. He was a FL district board member.

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
Man is fallable no matter what position. Place your Faith in Jesus and not men. He should do time for his stealing but I hope he repents and learns from his mistakes.

You'll never read about the quiet men and women who labor faithfully day in and day out.

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
For every man that falls and makes the news, there are 20,000 pastors that do the best they can and work hard in hundreds of denominations. I really think most do the best they know how to.
Here is the problem. If some of the money he has to pay in restitution is in the church building, it doesn't beling to the church. It is however part of his order to pay it all back.
Filthy lucre.

amen,
thank God for those who faithfully serve Him where He placed them even though they go unnoticed by the world and receive no earthly fame or glory.

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
Don't know him although his name sounds familiar.
I have nothing but sorrow for him. I can't imagine what he's feeling right now. I hope he finds a place of restoration and grace. He has fallen victim to temptation, something we all have done at one level or another. God help him, his family, his church, and may God heal everything that is broken to bring him back better than ever.

Yes He is!!! "And the Word of the Lord came unto Jonah the SECOND TIME."
I'm broken-hearted for him, yet hopeful of God's amazing grace! Grace that restores completely! May God make this young man a trophy of grace!!
