But just as it was being laid to rest, a new voice has helped resuscitate it.
In the post I am replying to, he says of New Life:
this church has experienced a judgment on its hypocrisy
And later in post 2771, he expands on that with:
The double life of Ted Haggard was probably the least of the follies involved.
Just thought y'all might be interested!
(Pssst! Look at those beady eyes. What other nefarious plots do you think they were involved in?)

Today, to some people, Love for our Lord is wrong, difficult for me to understand that one.
Two Lovely young Christians, is what I see.
Haggard paid a price for his sins, it cost his entire family.
The Church, should go forward, as it is doing, to serve God.
My opinion.
Book 3, Chapters 7 & 9
"Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive ... And then, to mention the subject at all is to be greeted with howls of anger."
....On the whole, God's love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. Nobody can always have devout feelings: and even if we could, feelings are not what God principally cares about. Christian Love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will. If we are trying to do His will we are obeying the commandment, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God.' He will give us feelings of love if He pleases. We cannot create them for ourselves, and we must not demand them as a right. But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.
