      RE: Double Life

      A lot was said about accountabiliity. Yet so many times that fails- by virtue of the person living a double-life with those he is accountable to. And how many rouge pastors gather around them co-leaders who are younger and/or easily intimidated?

      Some pastors engage in “networks’ (Charismatic-speak for denominations) where supposedly they have peer-accountability, or even accountability with those at a higher level. Yet the double lives persist.

      Very often the root sin of some of these fallen leaders is not adultery, perversion, drunkenness, or greed. More often than not it is arrogance – and that arrogance directed towards God. Not a very good place to be, if you ask me.

      We cannot live a double life with God. He knows. The fear of God is absent in so many churches today, and is never preached in so many pulpits.

      I feel as if I have been living a double life. I have been entertaining my mind with lustful thoughts and have also fallen to pornography. I serve in a ministry and sometimes preach in this ministry. The fire or passion for God I once use to have has disappeared. It’s been a while since I have experienced the presence or nearness of God…..or intimacy. I once thought I wanted to go into pastoral ministry but now I am not so sure. I am also doubting my salvation and feel paranoid on whether I am just deceived. My faith has also become shaky. Sometimes I find myself doubting God or His word or even his existence. I feel spiritually dry or just lifeless. I still spend time in the word but it’s not quality time. I still pray but my mind feels bombarded with doubts or skeptical thoughts. I feel like I am not going anywhere.

      I was just sent this link by an atheist: http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/

      I haven’t seen this before, but apparently, atheists are loving it. I had a good rebuttal, but I’d be glad to hear other people’s thoughts.
