Thankfully, I've had a season of peace for quite some time. I have also had some nightmare scenarios with staff members over the course of my ministry. In light of recent threads describing problems with ministers and immorality, I thought I would pose this question. Without compromising your anonymity, I wonder if some of you would be willing to share some of your greatest challenges. I would be particularly interested in hearing success stories.

My gootness, Wyatt, son, you had em sodomite sympathizers stirred up fer shore. I don't blame ya a bit, I wouldn't set there while a practicing sodomite pranced around on the platform in his light loafers an skinny jeans. You done right.

Quiet Wyatt,I hope you have succeeding in making Da Sheik feel like his situation wasn't that bad afer all. Was the 'young man' he tried to seduce under age

I got word from one of our members that he saw our Hispanic pastor picking up prostitutes. When we confronted him, he said it was not true and threatened to sue the person who brought such an allegation. We decided to let it go because if it's true it would come out.3 months later we pull up in front of the church to find this pastors wife crying. When my wife went to comfort her, she was told that her husband was buying prostitutes. I immediately call a meeting with the Pastor and his wife to tell them that he was would be removed from his role and that the CoG would work with him to restore him. He became defiant and said he had already asked for forgiveness. I told him that he would not be allowed to minister again in our building until he followed the rules. I went to the elders of the congregation and told them what we had found. I was met with opposition being told that I was too hard(called a bear in Spanish) and asked if I believe in forgiveness. The group asked if the wife could be interim pastor, I told them no because I could see the hold this man still had on his wife. I told them we would hire a new pastor for them but they refused.

AMEN you did the right thing!!!

Wow!! You did a good job in handling this situation. That would be a tough one for sure.

Honestly, I cannot answer the question nor explain what happened.The first time I spoke on what happened regarding a similar thread with this type of question I caught flack.Some guys from this state apparently read my comments & reported them to other people & I was confronted with a lot of negative remarks & false accusations because of the way it had all went down. Keep in mind I didn't explain all of the details at the time because part of it was private but it didn't keep them from attacking me.
