Falling Again

With yet the revealing of another fellow minister of the Gospel falling because of sin.  I am forced to look at myself and many other preachers, pastors or workers of the Gospel.  We all understand that the enemy is doing everything that he can to destroy the furtherance of the Gospel.  Let us as fellow christians not be so quick to throw stones, let us take the time to thank God for the protection He has provided.  You see I applaud Clayton Jennings for having the desire to please God and use his own mistakes as a possible stepping stone for others.  Often times we as preachers are placed on a pedestal whether by choice or chance.  People seem to look at us and our families as the model of perfection.  That is the wrong view of the Gospel.  There is one perfect person and His name is Jesus, not Toney.  We tend to hide things in our lives because if others found out about it they would say that we are unfit for the position that God has called us to.  Let is kinda funny to me.  If God wants you out of the position then I think He can remove you.  There are many people out there now starting to develop resources for pastors to get help with depression or other battles that occur in their lives.  We as the family of God need to lift these men and others up in prayer.  We need to present ourselves as a friend and resource.  Once again let us not be like the Pharisees and throw stones all the while hiding what is in our lives.
