JANUARY 16 “THE FAULT THAT CATCHES YOU”
Kent Hovind — sentenced to 10 years in prison
Jo Hovind clutched the necktie he had been wearing. She kept her eyes on her husband until he was out of sight.
A 12-person jury deliberated for 2 1/2 hours on Thursday before finding the couple guilty of all counts in their tax-fraud case. Kent Hovind, founder of Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola, was found guilty of 58 counts, including failure to pay $845,000 in employee-related taxes. He faces a maximum of 288 years in prison. Testimony, Credibility and years of invested time and ministry all flushed down the toilet by one un-surrendered area in his life, “render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar”. Sometimes as Christians we can feel that we are above the law, or at least certain laws. The entitlement mindset; is not only the down fall of Corporate CEO’s, but Minister Leaders all across the globe. Money is the last great frontier for many Christians to cross and get dominion in. What more appropriate time to post this illustration than just a few weeks out from tax season. The minister of the Gospel must be above reproach in all areas of his life. Here is a man that was upright in "almost" all areas of his life, so devoted to the cause of Christ, yet this one area in his life, became his undoing. What will be the fault that catches you or brings you and your ministry tumbling down?
