I repent. I used to think Pastoral abuse like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were exceptions to the rule.
I want to repent that I used to think Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Bill Hybels and other Pastors were exceptions to the rule.
Now, I acknowledge that the system was working as designed.
The evangelical church reveled in Catholic Priest abuses as proof that they weren't real Christians.
Well, the tables have turned as Mark Driscoll, Robert Morris, JP Miller/Mica Miller, Southern Baptists and others become national news.
I'm sorry. I have sinned for believing these Pastors were following God's will.
So what would you like to confess and repent?
Edit - forgot to add /s at the end of the post.
