Moral Failures

The longer I live, the more nothing surprises me. This past year way too may people who have had spiritual influence on me have had or been accused of moral failures. Some I know personally. Others I only know through conferences, reading their books and listening to their podcasts. The most recent moral failure was by someone whom I interviewed with and almost went on staff at his church. 

In my younger days I probably would have condemned. But now every time I hear of another moral failure I just get sick. I hurt for the families. I hurt for those whom they failed with. I hurt for their churches. And in a way I don’t quite understand, I hurt.  I just hate to see families torn apart. Trust is broken. Ministries are damaged and sometimes over.

For the moment I’m heartbroken, disappointed & disillusioned. But I’m also hopeful because my trust isn’t in a human but in God. I am praying for all involved. I’m praying that families will be restored and God will be glorified.
