My heart aches……
So many Pastors are going through a tough time as I write this. The first things that came to mind when I read this is, forgiveness, love and compassion for Pastor Brandon Hudson and family. We also pray for the congregation for love and forgiveness.
Jesus taught, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you” (Mt 6:14). Peter asked Jesus how often it is necessary to forgive, and Jesus replied, “Seventy-seven times” (Mt 18:22), a number to be taken symbolically, not literally, for the never-ending way that we ought to forgive.
I do not have any idea of the extent of the problems of Pastor Hudson, I just know forgiveness as to whatever has taken place. JESUS!
The pressure on Pastors during a time when 46% of Americans are unchurched is unheard of.
We are praying for Pastor Hudson and his family and all Pastors and families.
This may be the toughest time to be a Pastor since the Civil War. UGLY TREND CONTINUES! 43% of Churches Now Report Zero Baptisms
