What Would You Do?

[Evangelist Pamela Thomas]

Saints, there is so much deception in the body of Christ. Recently I have come face to face with a good friend whose ex-husband is a homosexual and preaching in the pulpit. He's still preaching after she divorced him and left Texas. I'm talking about a few months ago, not a few years..

Not only do I want us to pray this spirit out of the pulpit, but also for their deliverance. In the meanwhile, what would you do if you found out your Pastor is gay? Would you leave the church or would you stay?

[Tyshinia Riley]

I do have to say that I would feel very different or cheated by my pastor, but at the same time I would continue to love him and pray for him. We all make mistakes... we are all sinners...if I found out that my "pastor" was gay, I would probably, most definately leave the church, or stay if he got out of the pulpit. That is a very tough situation b/c if you have been at your church for years, and you are confronted with that, it would be hard to just up and leave. But then it would make you think about if you have been getting false interpretations of the bible or if he is truly a man of God, just with personal problems of the flesh.That is something that i would have to stay in prayer about before I make that decision.

Hello Sis. Pamela,
God destroyed cities because of the homosexual acts that went on in them. I am sure that I would not stay if I were sure this was going on. I am married with three boys. This is something I that I would not want my children to think their father and I will ever condone that act(sin). So I must say I would leave but I would be in deep prayer for the pastor. I do believe that God can deliver us from anything so I am in prayer with for this preacher, the congregation and your friend.
Blessings

Simply put, I would leave my church as soon as I knew for certain he was gay. I may not move my membership immediately. However, I would find another church home to worship with. I would continue to pray for my pastor, the remaining congregation and for those who may have been led astray by his example.In all of this, I would seek God's guidance in what He wanted me to do as far as my covering is concerned. I believe that the pastor should step down. However, I think that the congregation should come together to pray for and try to restore this soul. Although, he is the pastor, he is still in need of restoration and it is our job as women and men of God to do just that. Although I must add that sadly enough there are preachers and pastors in the pulpit across our nation, that may not practice homosexuality, but are womenizers, or whoremongerers, or liars, or thiefs. Where do we draw the line?

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
We know what the bible says regarding the matter of homosexuality. Pray, Pray, Pray

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
GOD is still in control. He will definitely work this matter out. Sometimes when we try to fix things ourselves we make more of a mess when GOD is not 1st in the situation.

I can not say exactly what I would do because I am not in that situation. But I do know what the word says, and that is all I can/will stand on.
