Everyone losing Faith in Musicians - Has your faith been shaken?

I know of a few musicians that have fallen in my days. I have also known some people who's faith in the Church and the Christian walk that was shaken as a result.

Thankfully I have never put musicians on a level as Jesus Christ, it's sad some do. While I respect them, I know they are human.

I just say go to church and serve the Lord. My worship leader could fail tomorrow, it would not shake my faith. I am in a relationship with Jesus Christ. These people had a relationship with religion, or perhaps even personal fame.

True!

It seems that whatever the ministry position is - there is ample opportunity to lead people astray. God help me!

I would just stomp out of the choir and never come back.

Some musicians get lifted up because of talant, are on an ego trip and forget that they are to help the people worship God.

Someone needs to stop them before they ruin the church.

Good for you, some look up to musicians like they are Jesus.
They are human and are not perfect.

Very good post.

Isn't that the job of the pastor? I thought they get lifted up to?

This can be SOOO confusing sometimes.

It was weird. I had deja vu when I was initially creating this thread.

Don't know why.
