Lemme put it to you this way. Brother "A" is a regular pew warming saint, faithful in his giving, church attendance, etc. It comes to light that Brother "A" has been stealing money from his job or wherever. You forgive Brother "A" and he goes on warming a pew.
Brother "B" is your pastor. It comes to light that Brother "B" has been stealing money from his job, church, or wherever. Are you justified in being more upset with Brother "B" because he was your pastor than Brother "A"?
I say yes, because Brother "B" has responsibilities that Brother "A" does not have. People are counting on Brother "B" to be a quality example of what it means to follow after Christ because God has placed him as a spiritual leader in their lives. To whom much is given much is required.
