Truths from a Disgraced Minister

Many of us have been ministered to personally by pastors who we have trusted to be godly leaders. Though we are disappointed, and though society and the church world will hold them accountable for their actions, and there will be consequences, “if you (like I) have received something important in your spiritual life through one of them, don't discard the truths you received, as if they came from them. If what you received is true and biblical, if it drew you closer to Jesus, then it's from the Lord, not that person.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” ~~ James 1:17.

 “If you received something truly good, it came from God! Don't let the failings of a human vessel rob you of something that came from above.” ~~ Dr. Michael Brown.

Remember this: “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” ~~ Romans 3:23 (NLT).
