Three Sad Stories...

Todd Rhoades' Monday Morning Insight story (linked to header) reports three sad stories from the world of Christian ministry--involving 2 divorces, one report of wife beating, and a disgraced former minister writing support pleas because he can't live on the over $300,000.00 he made in 2006. All in all, it makes for depressing reading--not just because of the stories, but because of the lack of discernment expressed by people who follow some of these high profile "ministries." One of the divorcing couples is doing so amicably so both can pursue their separate ministry agendas. The other divorce involves the wife-beating, with one of the husband's supporters arguing that we can't know the whole truth, only God does (as if that means a man beating up his wife may have grounds to do so).
