JULY 13 “SELF CONTROL SAVES”
Tullian Tchividian is the fourth Florida megachurch pastor to resign over an affair. A grandson of the influential evangelical pastor Billy Graham has resigned from the pulpit at a high-profile church in South Florida after church leaders discovered he was having an affair. Tullian Tchividjian said that he returned from a trip a few months ago to find his wife having an affair, and that he in turn went on to a friend with whom he “sought comfort,” in a statement to the Washington Post. “I resigned from my position at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church today due to ongoing marital issues.” “Both my wife and I are heartbroken over our actions,” he said. The pastor, 42, has three children with his wife, Kim. Tchividjian was widely considered a rising star in evangelical circles and is the fourth Florida megachurch pastor to resign after having affairs, according to thePost.
Beauty either in men or women, often proves a snare both to themselves and others. This forbids pride in it, and requires constant watchfulness against the temptation that attends it. We have great need to make a covenant with our eyes, lest the eyes infect the heart. When lust has got power, decency, reputation, and conscience, are all sacrificed. Satan, when he found he could not overcome Joseph with the troubles sought to overcome him with a basic instinct God put in him, but Satan even failed in that, while with many others, satan has succeeded so well, Satan will always remember, with Joseph he failed. Will you be remembered as one he succeeded with or failed with? Will you make the long list of those that have failed or the short list of those that have made it??!!
