I agree with the lady before me...how terribly sad for his family. What a lonely situation he has created for himself.

I thought many of the same things when I watched that video. I immediately thought of Paul's letter to Timothy, where he describes the qualifying traits of elders and deacons in the church. It's interesting that Paul encourages Timothy to examine the individual's life AWAY from the pulpit - for example, how does he interact with his family? What is his relationship like with his kids? I think this part of evaluating leaders has been COMPLETELY IGNORED for decades in the Western church. How many people follow leaders, even though it's a poorly kept secret that their marriage is a shambles or that they're terrible parents who never spend time with their kids? I believe that if we'd look at leaders' families and lives away from the pulpit, we'd see a lot less leaders elevated inappropriately...
i think it is too soon for this guy to be brought out in the open and interviewed, he needs to stay out of the spotlight for awhile and deal with this thing.
this was the quote that stood out to me "i've told too many people how they should live their lives"...all of us who say we are Christians have to work out the salvation that God has worked in. i have to preach and sing and teach to myself so that it can be real in me and then out of that flows a life inspired by Jesus that changes everything around me.
at the end of it all, we don't get a sensation or prosperity, we don't get all knowledge or success. we get Jesus and that is enough.
