400 Pastors May Resign This Sunday

When the Ashley Madison breach went public and Josh Duggar apologized for being one of the 32 million who used the cheating website … cyber frenzy erupted.  This meant many more cheaters would be exposed not just from the public in general, but in the religious arena as well.

In a recent post: Expert: 400 Church Leaders Will Resign This Sunday Because Names Surfaced in Ashley Madison Hack … “The Ashley Madison hack will have a serious effect on churches. According to Ed Stetzer, as many as 400 pastors, deacons, elders and church staff members may resign this Sunday after their names surfaced on the list of users revealed in the Ashley Madison hack.” Indeed this will be devastating and although according to the post, “To be honest, the number of pastors and church leaders on Ashley Madison is much lower than the number of those looking to have an affair.” Nevertheless, the outcome will be just as disturbing for family members and churchgoers.

Here are helpful posts with links that help with the “what now”:

1. Life Is Eternal. Don’t Have an Affair.
2. ‘My Husband Is on the Ashley Madison List. What Now?’
3. My Pastor Is on the Ashley Madison List.

 Many are reaping what they have sown individually, but we are also reaping what we have sown culturally. The new sexual revolution has spun its web and has flaunted itself. Its how our culture has decided to go “the hook-up” culture …. But, Jesus shows a better way. That way is the way of Jesus, who spoke of a man and a woman becoming one flesh—one marriage, one sexual relationship, for one lifetime.

“He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.”  - Proverbs 6:32

Life is eternal …. don’t have an affair!
