As christians we know that men and women of God can fall because the only one that was sinless was Jesus. We put faith that those we follow as our pastors get up every morning to fight an enemy that is well aware of their weaknesses which we know nothing about.
If you are blessed to get fed weekly from a pulpit remember to remove that man or woman and focus on the message not the messenger. Stop glamorizing these flawed humans, stop being a groupy and a cheerleader about their life. Focus on the word not the man.
While these men and women are trusted into ministry and we all hold them at a high standard yes, but they are not Jesus, the enemy will continue to prey on them because he knows that is the quickest way to discourage both new and seasoned believers. Yes, moral failure needs to be exposed because we serve a God of excellence but please stop making your religious walk about church clicks and glamorize those in leadership, make it about the word instead so that when you hear about these things you are able to separate the two without affecting your walk and allowing the enemy to use those situations from discouraging you and your family from the spiritual walk ahead of you.
