We have experienced the past few years the meteoric rise of several national leaders, who gained a large following, only to become disqualified from ministry due to moral failures. Perhaps this is nothing new but only seems like a lot of leaders are falling. Maybe the explosion of social media is why our collective awareness of these fallen leaders make it seem like a lot of folks are falling.

And because local, fallen leaders do not have a large following, there is less public knowledge of their misdeeds. If there were statistics for fallen leaders, big and small, we’d probably learn that sin does not respect one kind of leader over the other, and all eras are about the same.

Our family watched the newest Disney movie adaptation of Beauty and the Beast tonight. It was okay. It had all the Disney things you would expect in a movie. However, I was surprised there were the insertions of an “implied transgender” and two gay guys that included the gay “Le Fou” character.

A marriage is circular where each person is dependent upon the other. The reciprocality and mutual dependence of the two gives strength to the one flesh.

In recent local church history, discipleship is more about studying the Bible alone, but when all dysfunction breaks loose in a marriage or family, it’s time for counseling. This approach to caring for others is sad to me because discipleship has always been the church’s answer to soul care.

"He was nothing like this when we were dating. I mean he would send me little notes, hold the car door open and was thoughtful about almost everything. Now, I'm not sure I exist in his world, except when he wants sex. I seem not to matter anymore. He is not the man I married."
