Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Inquiring minds want to know, but it's none of our business. Thoughts and prayers goes to the congregation, and the leadership. Prayers for the pastor who resigned also.

Regardless of the details of what happened this church family needs our prayers as well as the former pastor's family.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Holding that church, the pastor, and his family up in prayer. Indeed the church is under attack, it's hard to even consider being a pastor in these last days. Wow.

No, brother, I've never been one nor has my husband. I do have close friends
and some family that are. I've seen them go through things as you've described. I don't understand how some people can mistreat the Man of God so flippantly. I respectfully fear the Lord and the office he has placed of Preacher. Woe be it unto those who do His servants harm.
God bless you Brother BT. I'm sure you have many in your congregation
now who are so very thankful for you! 
I do pray for the Ministry every day.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Some of this drives me batty.
Look folks, when a preacher falls morally -no matter the sin- it's not because the Devil made him do it. It's because he doesn't practice what he preaches.
Far too often we blame the Devil, or demons, or spiritual warfare.
The truth is ultraconservative flesh is no different from uberliberal flesh.
This is a huge hole in the ultracon armor. Ultracon Apo's believe their standards keep them from falling. But they don't.

Sadly what you say is true. I think everybody realizes that ultimately it is a human beings failure but you must acknowledge that ministers seem to be under particularly harsh spiritual attacks. I believe it is because the enemy of our souls knows what a negative impact a minister failing has. It ripples out to effect a lot more people than when a saint fails. It is not just "shooting two birds with one stone" but sometimes shooting scores or hundreds with one stone.
