Imagine someone staying in your home and hurting your child 😡😡😡😡😡

CHILD ABUSE!!! Say it in the headlines!!!!

[jeffbaca]

An AFFAIR the victim was 12 YEARS OLD!!

[MusicMike]

A “megachurch” cannot be a Church. It’s a social club

[bjlpfro]

How is he not a pedophile and not on the sex offender registry?

[kdallas]

They didn't forgive him. They didn't say anything because like alot of "parents " whose kids are assaulted, they were more worried about how it would make THEM look.

[spencerbrown]

Lock him up, we should no longer tolerate sexual creeps in

Matt. 7. [15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves ~ Jesus Christ

[celiarodriguez]

He is a criminal.Also a hypocrite.She was a child.He must pay for his crime.

[annaneira]

In the last days, there will be many in the church who profess Christianity but look nothing like their Lord and Savior !!

[Kitsuniga_ri]

Folks really making excuses justifying why an adult being inappropriate towards a 12 year old is "just a little mistake" and not an entire crime.
I wouldn't wanna take chances bringing my kids to a place where people in power knew about these things and did nothing about it. Doesn't help that he admitted to doing this, either.
I grew up watching his sermons, feel disgusted and disappointed beyond belief. May justice be served.

Never should have been a pastor in the first place.

[JClaus]

Damn people. The Pastor admitted he did it. He not only admitted it, he admitted he did it for 4 years. While he was married and living with this girl's family. They forgave him when they should have turned him into the law. These people never change, anyone who thinks he hasn't done it since is kidding themselves. The NDA's must be endless.

How in the world this guy lasted this long is a testimony to the circle the wagons nature of abusive cults and braindead groupthink.

[MarcoGarcia-njcf]

Two to three weeks ago, a sermon on presbytery was taught. Along with that, this pastor stated how the Holy Spirit chose this pastor. Man picked this pastor and now he is resigning, and running. The whole world knows. The Lord is beginning to clean HIS house and will expose all of the corruption in HIS house. Many have used the gospel for financial profit. News like this is what causes people to lose faith in God. If you are out there and reading this comment, know that God is still in control and spring cleaning HIS house.

That's an awful lot of backpedaling that church is doing now!

[aftonair]

A 12 year old is a child,
not a "young lady".

[wdwerker]

They are always heartbroken and appalled that they got caught!

[chrisoneill]

If the church has forgiven him, and the statute of limitations has been reached, there is nothing anyone can do.
