Hey everybody!
Listen, I was doing some reading and came across a blog I think more people should read. It’s called Fallen Pastor (Finding Restoration In a Broken World).
Maybe you’ve known a pastor or minister who has fallen, who has walked away from ministry, because of some moral failure. Sadly, there are more than people think. Maybe it happened to you. Fallen Pastor has something for everyone in any ministerial position.
For that matter, Fallen Pastor has some strong advice for everyone.
Seriously, I was scrolling through the list of posts on Fallen Pastor and was shocked that there were not more “likes.” As a matter of fact, Fallen Pastor has been around for several years, and yet there are barely 100 subscribers! That is sad!
Ray Carroll, the blog’s author, was a pastor who “fell from grace” because of an affair. But instead of walking away from God, as many do in these situations, Mr. Carroll has taken the opportunity to help and challenge others.
Consider this sampling of posts from Fallen Pastor:
- “Where Does Adultery Begin?”
- “Can Facebook Ruin Your Marriage?”
- “Lead, Guide, and Direct”: Church Cliches, Pt. 2
- “5 Tips for Sinners Looking for a Church”
So, my friends, go check out Fallen Pastor; there’s a lot of good stuff posted there.
Consider subscribing, too. We need to encourage our pastors, even those who have made mistakes.
The Recovering Legalist 
I had a look at the site, and thought there was some good stuff there, but am disturbed by the fact that he is now married to the woman he committed adultery with, like that somehow makes it ok. 😦 I felt ill after reading his now-wife’s site. She talks about repentance and God’s forgiveness, but the Bible is pretty clear that to marry someone else after divorce is to commit adultery. It doesn’t negate the original adultery in any way.
