Ok, by now everybody knows that the Pastor of a Mega Church in Colorado Springs has admitted to charges on "sexual immoral conducts". (you can google ted haggard to find out more).
No, I am not about to criticize him. I've heard this man before. Very eloquent and is Spirit Filled. Speaks with conviction and is gentle in his challenge. I was surprised as well when I read the news.
He has issued a letter of apology but is now on leave from the Church. I am not sure the extend of his "sexual immoral conducts" but well.. a spade is a spade. It's interesting my post yesterday was on "character".
It's a sober reminder that everyone of us is not exempted from Satan's attack. The origin of sin began with deception. Satan lures us to believe in lies before he leads us into his trap. He is the Systematic Tempter, never underestimate him. If we do not posture ourselves to walk in humility i.e. I need someone to help me see my blindspots, walk in truth i.e. the word of God, walk in purity i.e. act purely and think purely... we will fall into deception. When deception blinds us, we are in for a treat from Satan.
Of course, the accuser chose to expose Ted at this point of his life for political and personal reasons as well but Satan always choose the right time to put the man of God in the headlines.
Lord, help Ted and his family through this and help him to change
