Haggard Gay-Sex Scandal Update

The overseer board of New Life Church has concluded that Ted Haggard is guilty of "sexually immoral conduct," and have removed him as pastor, a move Mr. Haggard and his wife agreed with. Read their statement for yourself here.

I am confused as Haggard flatly denied having any kind of sexual relationship with Jones, but agreed to being removed for "sexually immoral conduct." What's the truth here? Will we ever know? Do we deserve to know?

Tragically, all the news agencies I've read (Breitbart, Rocky Mountain News, CBS 4 Denver) leave out the fact that they will "explore the depth of Pastor Haggard’s offense so that a plan of healing and restoration can begin" (I skimmed these sites, so I may have missed it).

Notice, the world ends with "he's been removed," but the Christians should pray for these things for some time. Though this will be out of the public eye after tomorrow (when a statement by Haggard will be read to the church), we need to be praying for him for some time.

Also, remember it's only by the grace of God that this story isn't about me or about you; "let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall." (1 Cor 10:12).

Finally, though the cause of Christ in our culture has taken a severe hit remember that Christianity is not ultimately judged by its followers, but by its Founder.
