Northern Ohio TV Preacher gets 9 days in jail for DUI (it's not MOW)

[Trouvere]

Brother Atlanta I think the visit is a good thing.About the exposing himself charges what is all that about? It may be that this man is a closet alcoholic.
Alcohol will make you do such wierd things.

I delight in NO ONE failing. However, for a pastor to have this many run ins with the law is untypical, unhealthy, unChristian, damaging to his followers who get the idea that one can have these kinds of problems and still retain a place of influence in leadership.

We all fall and all make mistakes. These kinds of things when pastors continue in leadership and seemingly flaunt their liberty in sinning, that gives Christianity, and Pentecostals in particular, a bad name.

I pray that this man of God is able to recover. However, this has been a pattern of his life for a number of years. Great preacher or not, he has serious problems.

My friend/pastor/mentor/father in the Lord has a saying...


As a leader, you're not allowed to have a bad day.



In other words, you have a responsibility to live as rightly as you know how, and you will be held to a higher standard.

Amen; I've seen this way too much lately. I don't understand how churches just go on as if nothing has happened. Sometimes the man of God needs help and a time of restoration, away from the pulpit. Sounds like one of those situations here.

Did you know that Anthony Spell left and went to Baton Rouge and has started a church there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was on CB service last Tuesday night and told about it.

AB,
It's not just some old ladies. I know a Word of Faith Pastor from detroit who knows the whole deal. He said it is not a lie. there are several incidents of exposure envolving exposure to young boys while committing an self act. one case is court documented according to this minister.
about CB, he is the biggest Mess there ever was but he knows how to fool even the wisest. Pm coming forth. the deal with AS hits too close so I'll not comment on that one. anyone else is free to though

I heard a wise ole Bible teacher say once folks get the leadership they deserve as a rule.
