I just read a blog of a pastor of a well known church who has fallen... and he was a big enough man to stand up and resign his position and tell his church what happened...
we tend to hold pastors in a light that they cannot possibly live... do we really recognize that a pastor is just a person, just like us... that they were just called to do a work for God that they don't always even want... they have to follow the calling of God just like we do... but yet we expect them to be perfect and righteous at all times, just because they bring us the word of God... do you not bring the word of God to people?? you should be... in your walk, in your talk, in your advice... everything that you are as a christian should exude the love and life of Christ... yet if we fall, we want everyone to say to us... it's okay... God has forgiven you, just get up and do better... but what about our shepherd??? we hold them to an unrealistic level of expectation... and when they show any form of humanness, we want to stone them....
let ye who are without sin cast the first stone..... I promise you it will not be me....
