We are sometimes told today that what the Church supremely needs is that she should catch the spirit of the age. A thousand times no. What the Church supremely needs is to correct the spirit of the age."

    I suspect Bieber and Falwell, among others are caught up in the spirit of the age.
    Agreed. But just to make a correction it wasn't Bieber put his pastor.

    Jerry Falwell says he was being blackmailed over wife's affair

    Jerry Falwell Jr. on Sunday told the Washington Examiner that a man who had an affair with his wife had been blackmailing the couple for the past several years.

    Falwell said he and his wife, Becki Falwell, have since reconciled over what he said was a brief affair but that the man has continued to threaten to expose the matter.

    In a statement to the newspaper, he said the couple met the man on vacation and were "impressed by his initiative in suggesting a local real estate opportunity," eventually including him in a land investment.

    "While we tried to distance ourselves from him over time, he unfortunately became increasingly angry and aggressive. Eventually, he began threatening to publicly reveal this secret relationship with Becki and to deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies," Falwell wrote.

    "While this was very upsetting, we had been advised by trusted legal counsel that it was best to maintain contact with this person, as we tried to manage his increasingly erratic behavior and unreasonable demands while extricating ourselves from him both on a personal level and from that real estate transaction," he added.

    Falwell did not name the man in his statement, but he has previously been identified as Giancarlo Granda.

    The story is getting worse, seriously worse. Anyway, I won't post links but do hope they repent and get off the front page, this is crazy.

    Confession at the start would have prevented much of his trouble.

    Makes me wonder if taking over the baton after well known parents may be portrayed as so necessary that a double life forms instead of merely a lukewarm one if he had been let off the hook.

    Sadly many ministries run churches and christian organizations like the OT where the King's son inherits the kingdom
    This is not the pattern in the NT.....sometimes God does call the son to the father's position but it should not be automatic and much prayer should go into making a wise choice.

    There is also too much power given to ministers in certain christian ministries and they become mini dictators and unaccountable
    The track record of the church is not good
    The old saying...........What have we learnt from history - we keep repeating the same errors

    Then there are examples where things work out but not quite as intended, or so it would seem. I'm thinking about the Osteens. Huge church but not quite in daddy's footsteps.

    Bonnke's Is a great example of handing over the reins to somebody who is not a part of your family. Daniel Kolenda began traveling with him many years ago, gave him more more responsibility, let him preach more, and now that Bonnke is dead the ministry hasn't missed a beat.

    I think Kolenda was his personal assistent to begin with. He does hail from five generations of pentecostal preachers though.
