I find this readiness, and almost rush to get back in the saddle, as it were, all very disturbing.
People can argue that it is his business and not ours, and this is very true. But when we place ourselves in the position of authority, setting ourselves up as this or that, we leave ourselves open to this kind of discussion.
The bodies of the wounded have not begun to heal, and he is acting as though nothing happened...shameful.
I better stop before I get bashed for commenting on this topic again...  |
To me it's a simple an act of survival. Think about it: you have a UPC Bible school degree. Your work history has been church work your whole life since you were a teenager. You were pulling down a healthy six figure income for Lord knows how long and suddenly it's gone, poof, in an instant. You've built your lifestyle around being in the top 5% of Americans. What are you going to do? If he was so foolish and sloppy to take the chances he was taking, do you think he was smart with his money and and made sound investments so he could take an early retirement living off the income generated by that? Who will hire him? Is he marketable in the workplace at age what---55-57? Will he try to manage a McDs or WalMart? Has he ever had an ordinary job ever in his life?
What is the one skill he has? Preaching. There's a market for him and he will find his niche and will continue just like Fuller, Hanby, Swaggert, Bakker, et al. Most of them don't go to selling cars, insurance, investments, real estate or start a business. They find a place somewhere in the church world, any church world, that can pay the bills and put food on the table.
