First it was the Catholic priest, now it's the Evangelist. Big time preacher out buying drugs and having gay sex. But I'm not judging, just startled a bit. At first I thought he was being set up because of his views on same sex marriage but later on found out he admitted trying to buy dope. The male prostitute said they also had sex and he saw the preacher using dope. What a mess! None of this affects my faith though. It's hard for God to help us, even the preachers, when we don't really want it or we don't help ourselves. God helped us when he revealed himself and gave us the Bible which gave us hope and faith to live by. He could have just created and disappeared like my earthly father did. Anyway, a preacher is just a man, men are human. Humans make mistakes and the devil helps us along. In my opinion God meant for this world to have good and evil so we could have freedom of choice. I guess it would be pretty boring with everyone being good. What type of goals would we have if we were just laying around in the garden of Eden all spoiled. God knew what type of beings he created and adjusted this world accordingly. Besides, some people take things too serious, even religion. Then some don't take things serious enough. I'm somewhere in the middle of the scale. I always figure, everyone got the right to be as serious as they want, just don't try to put me on your scale. I'm an individual, I have no plans of taking this world too serious. I'm going to be serious enough to be a good person, that's it. I'm no God or no preacher. I'm just a man and I plan on acting like one, but not a foolish one, like the preacher.

The preacher preached what he was suppose to preach. He also teached what he was suppose to teach. But to his own wit, in his brain it did not transmit. Preachers are suppose to set a good example. They're not suppose to trample. This preacher fell from grace, Then resigned to hide his face. But it's hard to hide, a face God wanted to be seen outside. The preacher was a hypocrite in disguise, what God had in store for him was no surprise. Eventually all men will fall from grace, even those in the Lord's holy place. People attend church for help and worship, we can't minus the preacher from this hardship. In fact his problems could be worse, it's just a part of lifes curse. One

What a mess is right, but I'm not surprised. I've had many run ins with those who spouted 'Holier than thou' rantings only to end up being the thief that stole my car stereo, etc. I've never been impressed with the one's I call 'Bible thumpers'. Unfortunately, they do a lot of harm and even turn some folks away from the gospel...
