I don't think he holds himself out to be righteous. That would be our perception of him. If thats the case then we should be encouraged to be like him until, of course, he falls. The next step would be to surround him with prayer until the Lords mercy comes upon him. Yes, we are all sinful and battle with spiritual warfare everyday and when we fall into temptation accountability partners help to turn us back to face the Lord. The results of our sin stay, with collateral damage to the innocent being a tragedy. Thank you Jesus for your grace and mercy to us all. We cry out to you for this pastor who has fallen to temptation. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others who trespass against us.

go minister to those who’ve been devastated by this man’s dark acts, starting with his wife and kids, then to those in the congregation who looked up to him and are now blasted... better that a mill stone be tied around the man’s neck and be cast into the deepest see, than that he hurt the faith of the little ones...

I think that's probably not correct.
