One of the things that I have always said is that for those of us who are Christians, we must not in the words of my Pastor "Put not our trust in man for he will let you down everytime." We must trust God and that is it! We all have our own vices and weakness that cause us to stumble and fall short, but we just pick ourselves back up and keep moving, praying for strength and forgiveness. A friend said that if the allegations against the Bishop proved to be true he would leave church. To my friend and anyone else thinking this way I say, don't! Man is only a vessel to provide the word of God, he should not be placed on a pedastal. Remember the minister is not God. He is no different than the rest of us striving to be Christ-like! Just think if in the Bible God can speak using an Ass (donkey) he can use anyone to spread his word. God is capable of making the rocks cry out!
On today in front of his congregation the good Bishop advises that he will fight this. Good for you Bishop! Fight the good fight! But answer me this: Why were you sending mobile pics to these young men in form fitting spandex-like outfits from your bathroom no doubt!? Was this for a "How Do I Look" type thing? I mean for a man to his boys that's not normal behavior. Sure they send pics of their latest "kill" ie check out me and this 20 lb bass I just caught today or look at this lion I got on safari! Nevertheless fight on!...
In the court of public opinion this looks very bad for the Bishop, but if the accusations prove to be unfounded then this from the Christian perspective is just a storm for the Bishop and his family for which a break through is on its way! So let's be in prayer for Bishop, his family and the New Birth congregation and also pray for the young men bringing the case against the Bishop. If not and the allegations are true, pray anyway. It is a stuff pill to swallow, but all have sinned, let he who is without sin cast the first stone...
That is all from The Diva!
This just in, the attorney representing the young men stated that about 30 plus other young men from the program have provided similar stories regarding the sex scandal. At this point my hope of innocence is fading fast...30 plus young men can't all be seeking vengence by saying they were coerced into sexual acts with their pastor!...
