Hello to all.
This is something that I cannot discuss with people I actually know because of the gravity of the situation so I've come here.
Someone very close to me is a pastor. I will not state his actual relation to me. Over the past several months, I've observed pornographic links in his web history in addition to lewd web searches. Some of these searches came within mere hours of him taking the pulpit!
Obviously, this was a shock, but not a surprise. I've seen stunning figures regarding pastors and pornography.
This raises obvious problems. If this were ever released, the spiritual casualties would be untold. The church he pastors is growing, many people admire him greatly, and I am disgusted by what I know and the fact that I cannot tell anyone. He's even preached against pornography!
I am a distant Christian, I will admit. I am confused by a lot of things and am not fully committed to Christ. However, this has completely blown what little I had totally out of the water.
I cannot sit in the sanctuary any longer when he preaches. I have to move myself to the nursery or children's ministry.
This man was spent years in prison, was a drug addict and alcoholic before God saved him and called him into the ministry. However, it appears as some habits have such a grip so as to make drugs and alcohol seem minuscule.
What should I do? I'm so torn and confused.
