Another Pastor. Another Infidelity. (Article Inside)

If a Man keeps you online, much longer than you should be, he is not being faithful, nor has healthy and future intentions with you.

I'm not going to lie. I did not even bother to read the whole article, because it is an article identical to so many. Another church leader making headlines for not staying faithful to their spouses. It always starts online. They are always just friends. It's always innocent bantering back and forth........until it's not. Proving the point of so many of us that do not believe that, Men and Women can have innocent one on one friendships, without it turning into something it should not. God did not create us to be delusional. When one has power in their hands of any sort; whether it is popularity, leadership role or both, they can either use their power for good, or abuse it. Adults need accountability partners (friends) as much as kids do. When you are married, that becomes your spouse and friendships that you often share as Christians. We are supposed to look out for one another.

From a Christian point of view, when you've grown up in the Church, you see that jezebel spirit more than you want to, at different points of your walk. There are always demonic entities there, waiting to attack the people of God, but especially members of the church that take on leadership ministries. It can be women on the auxiliary board wanting to be too close to the pastor, men, using their power to fulfill their lusts, people from the outside, sparking up private "random relationships" that have no business doing so, and these church members try to continue on in sin and doing ministry at the same time.....until God finds them out.

I hear a lot of people often giving leaders of churches the benefit of the doubt when they fall into sexual or inappropriate relational sins, but what those same people don't get, is that a lot of souls end up walking away from God, because of the selfish acts of sin from those that say they are called by God, and mislead congregations. There HAS to be holiness and righteousness leading the church. Not every leader falls into sexual sins.I do not want that thought to be passed off as truth either. The blood of those souls that fall away, will be in the hands of the men that cause them to fall. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being a Pastor. It is not just ones responsibility to their own families, but to entire congregations. A Pastor is the head of the church, and to whom much is given much is required.

I'm tired of people giving them excuses to sin, saying; "They're just men!" Okay, so when do many of these men that say they are called, live with standards? God is not going to slap them on the wrist. He will forgive them if they repent, but there are still consequences.

There are still churches dividing and souls walking away from Christianity entirely, because of the carelessness of these so-called leaders. I don't even want to hear about King David, because, even He paid for His adultery.......through his own life, AND through some of his children. Everyone turns to David, as an example, but leave out the punishments of his sins. Which by the way, should really shed more light on the fear of the Lord. He is not to be played with. From Narcissistic Carl Lentz to Matt Chandler, and sadly many others and more to come, God is not going to cover for any of these people. Judgment will begin at the house of God.

Let this be a lesson to any woman that gets swept off of her feet by these men that show them a fake reality online, through emails, etc. Know who it is you're dealing with. Once you know who they are, walk away if what they bring to the table does not serve good morals. Even if you do not care that they are not available, care enough about the others that are connected to their deception. Care enough about yourself to not be someone's inbox lover. If they aren't meeting you in person after a while of talking online, and you are a fully grown woman......that is not just one red flag, but many.❤️
