Creeping In The Church.

 Marital infidelity is a common occurrence in society these days....And we who have been touched by this pain no what it does to the ones who are involved and to their friends and loved ones.... Some think that it is completely personal and private matter…the reality is that it is not....I believe when you start  flirting with someone other than your spouse you are headed toward trouble... It’s a serious relationship matter, especially to the offended spouse....I'm wondering do the church treat creeping pastors/leaders and music artist  differently from the person who sits in the pew? Do we get silent when our leaders stray? Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery, But almost every month we are hearing of another minister or gospel superstar who has stepped out on his marriage....Is the black church giving the Christian "celebrity" a pass, when others might be talked about from the pulpit?

 I watch Tye Tribbet on BET  Lifted Every Voice this past Sunday morning. ....It was a good interview.... Tye really did a great job of  explaining  how the power of God is able  to restore us when we believe our lives or loss...

"I would be lying if I told anyone  this wasn't sad, and that I'm not disheartened. it's a loss and sad situation on so many levels and yet...in Christ Jesus there is always hope." 

But I was remind how we can hurt and stop our own testimony by our  choices whether good or bad....I believe pastor/leader and those who claim to speak to us through gospel   music  are call to a higher standard than the person who sits in the pew....No!!I don't think the person in the pew can sin and the man of God can not....That's not what I mean....The fact is that we are all sinners and in Jesus Christ we can all become new creations and leave all sinful desires behind us through obedience to Jesus Christ and his teaching...I just believe if we're going to speak into God's people lives...Then we should have behaviors worthy of that honor.
