(CNN) -- Ted Haggard, the megachurch pastor and former National Association of Evangelicals chief whose career was undone by a gay prostitution and drugs scandal in 2006, plans to start a new church.
Standing in front of his barn, Haggard and his family announced Wednesday that they are starting a church in Colorado Springs, Colorado called Saint James.
The church will not be affiliated with any denomination. It will have its first gathering Sunday at the Haggard home.

Every time I meet somebody new and the first words out of their mouth is “I am a Christian and have accepted Jesus as my personal Savior”, I cringe.

I’m sure Ted has repented and has been forgiven, but I can’t imagine that God wants Ted to be placed into the same position where he previously gave in to temptation.
But God ways are not my ways, I won’t judge him.
You can tell a tree by its fruit. What’s done in the dark will be made known in the light.
It will be plain soon enough if Ted is really following the Lord, or is doing this for his advancement.

It is so sad that the Christian Church has come to the point where just the words “Jesus is my personal Savior” makes others cringe.

True. I’ve spent a lot more money on women than on hair and clothes.

Ted-
I can’t say what God is calling you to do...but I have a hard time believing He wants you preaching the gospel. Can’t you serve Him better by doing something else?
