for later
I hope nobody goes in pride saying "Nothing like that will happen to me" because it is only through grace that e are saved and by grace that we can withstand temptation.
I'm sure he realizes the hurt he has caused those who loved him most but I hope, too, that none should cast their stones at him for none but Christ alone can keep any of us from falling into the same trap.
I’d have a hard time making it in that business. I have moral failings just about daily.
Moral failings: caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl.
Public scandal warrants condemnation and removal of those in authority. Christ will forgive or not. We live in this world where example counts and this guy is a BAD example! OUT!
Excellent comments!
In Vietnam while in the bush our officers wore their "bars" under the points of their collars. We never saluted them nor said "Sir". Officers and platoon sergeants avoiding pointing out landmarks.
We field radio operators often ran the "tape" antenna (built like a stack of 2 or 3 tape measure blades) down alongside our packs and the coiled handset cord down a sleeve.
The enemy targeted the leadership, communications and machine gunners. I knew three Assistant Gunners, the guys who fed the belts of ammo into the gun, who were deaf in one ear because the gunner had been blown away with an RPG.
Machine guns "talking" to each other in a firefight are a bit harder to disguise than officers or radio operators.
**His job at the time, he explains, was managing an all nude girls revue for a casino in Las Vegas. ***
How come “I” never landed a job like that! No-o-o! I always landed a job working in a steel shop, covered with steel grinding burrs and slag, sour sweat, or even coal dust or coal ash.
You ever try to pick up a girl while blowing black trash out of your nose?
Manager of nude ‘all girl’s revue’, Las Vegas casino
Senior pastor, large Florida church, now unemployed.
Those darn Koch brothers ...
Since the beginning of time the enemy has always targeted the leaders, especially in combat. Kill the leaders and the followers will die off. Priests/pastors are the leaders of the church. No priests/pastors (morality authority) and the Christian faith is irrelevant.
So what exactly is “ ‘Moral Failing’ “. Is it any thing like Jimmy Swaggert’s “I have sinned”?
See post #11 I just had to ask, had to ask.
“Moral failings: caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl.”
A dead girl? Really?
RE: So what exactly is “ ‘Moral Failing’ “. Is it any thing like Jimmy Swaggert’s “I have sinned”?
I think this sentence in the article tells us what it is :
“The senior pastor resigned after he confessed to leaders at the church that he had cheated on his wife, Diane.”
Yea that’s what Swaggart did.
Only I’ve learned after Swaggart and Bakker that it’s best if these TV preachers step down on their own rather than face a big scandal in the press.
Better yet you’d think they’d take notes off of Billy Graham and avoid scandal.
I am very familiar with Calvary Chapels and have been to his church several times over the years for conferences and events...
Bob Coy is a wonderful pastor, great teacher and leader...
So sad the enemy managed to deceive him and resulted in a moral failings
I know he will be back stronger than ever and continue to be the great pastor and leader that he was...
“A dead girl? Really?”
Old political joke attributed to Edwin Edwards:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Edwards
Did he ‘fess up because he’s sorry, or is he just sorry he got caught?
Smart enemy, and we may need a page from their playbook. When TSHTF, those GIVING THE ORDERS and THE ENEMEDIA should be the primary targets of the machine gunners.
The enemy? No, Coy made the choice all by himself.
Ultimately, Coy made the decision to sin...The enemy put the temptation out there...
1Pe 5:8...Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
