The first is the word of God. Personal conduct and charac- ter are the second. The first is self-explanatory. Is their teaching or preaching biblically based? Does it make you squirm occasionally, or do you go home feeling warm and fuzzy? Character has to do with lying, cheating, sexual miscon- duct, gossip, addictions, spou- sal and other forms of abuse, and personality disorders, to name a few. Clergy such as these are toxic to everyone around them. It is immaterial how they got this far in minis- try. The issue becomes, what can you do? The gold standard is king David. God places good and bad pastors where it pleases him. If God put them there, then God will remove them. David had to contend with Saul. Saul sought to kill David, and everyone knew it, includ- ing David. David believed God put Saul on the throne and God would take him off. David's solution was he wasn't sticking around for Saul to kill him. Nowhere does God say you have to subject yourself to clergy abuse. God uses bad pastors to help us grow. Like good pastors, he uses the bad ones to prune the church. The mistake congre- gants make is putting clergy on a pedestal, making them untouchable or unquestion- able. Peter, according to some, was the first Pope. Paul wasn't afraid to rebuke Peter because he was causing dissension by his conduct at Antioch. A cler- gy's ecclesiastical rank is no shield when their conduct is reprehensible. The first thing I tell some- one who confides in me their pastor is bad, is to pray for them. Then I ask them to have a conversation with their pastor if they haven't already. Most churches have a board that works with the pastor. I ask, have you shared your concerns with your church leadership? Frankly, if church leadership knows there are issues and cannot act, there is little you can do except pray. Jesus tells some churches in Revelation to straighten up or else. It is his church, and he will deal with it in his time and way. In the meantime, pray for your ministers. Good or bad, they need it. POINTS Continued from page 8 future seems foreign. We live in a world where divorce and the break-up of the family is running rampant and single mothers or fathers do not know which way to turn. Poverty, unemployment, alcohol and drug abuse all contribute to the pain that families and innocent chil- dren experience. Emotional scars from abuse, hurts that were not deserved or the guilt of past sins haunt and over- whelm many with a weight that only God can remove. All of these occur in our local communities and like the hurricane survivors, these individuals also need the help and encouragement that Christians can provide to rebuild their lives. What then is the responsi- bility of the Christian commu- nity and what message must we convey to those who are suffering and consumed with hopelessness? What must we say to help those who have such pressing needs but must go forward when they are surrounded by nothing but adversity and chaos? Very simply, our responsi- bility is to spread the Gospel message that Jesus is the answer to all of life's prob- lems. And like Paul's message of encouragement to the Romans, a people persecuted, troubled and distressed, we must passionately declare that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, while teaching that to love God, one must love and commit their life to His Son, Jesus Christ. Ask God to give you an awareness and sensitivity to the needs of those who are hurting and need to know about Jesus. When He does, go in His strength, and consider it life's greatest privi- lege to share Christ's message of faith and hope to those who have none.
