I would like to reaffirm what Pastor Leo said. Right on! I am a pastor myself and am bothered that it seems that very few people are calling them on the carpet concerning this situation in their life, especially since they are pastors and are supposed to be living above reproach. Now, I don't know the details of thier split, but the Bible only indicates two reasons for divorce. 1. Adultery and 2. If you are married to a non-believer and they want out of the marriage because you are a believer, found in 1 Corinthians 7. I would like to know which one of those they fall into. If it is the first one, both of them should take time out of their so called important ministries and get themselves back on track with God. And if it's the second one, well you think about that.

The Bible is pretty clear that we are not to judge for judging sake. However, Jesus did say we would know them by their fruits. I do have to admit I like her style of preaching, but their personal life is not lining up with their public life. And for that, I am bothered that no one is addressing this with them and holding them to a higher standard. In my mind she and her husband have lost a lot of credibility as a public representative for God.

I believe with all of my heart that what goes on in private will be made known public and that is exactly what we are seeing. I do pray that both of them will see that just because they are divorcing each other the problems that were there in their private life will not just disappear because they are seperated from one another. They will have to address the real issues or God will.

Anyway, just a thought.
