I think that you would agree with me that the Bible is our sole source of Truth, and is good for education, correction and training. In the Gospel of John, Chapter 21 and verse 25, we read that "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." With all of these events, miracles and stories to put in to just one Book (the Bible), "why" did the Lord decide to put this particular story in it? Could it be that there are certain principles and lessons that He wants you to learn and apply in your life? And, could it be that these events, miracles and stories are much more than what we might remember from our Sunday School Days as a young child? What do we do when we see one of our beloved leaders failing and falling? Do we ignore the sins and the faults or do we confront the sins directly? Or do we simply "pray" and hope for the best? What do we do when a leader refuses to repent from hidden sins? What happens to those around this leader when unconfessed and unrepentant sins continue to lead from the pulpit? Many times in ministry and in Church we have been told to "touch not my anointed" (1 Chronicles 16:22 and Psalms 105:15) by those who are supposed to be watching over us, and yet there seems to be little or no balance with the Scriptures that promise us that there is wisdom in the council of wise men. Without debate, God is the ultimate and final Judge of all things. Only He truly knows the heart and intentions of a man. No one can continue to violate the principle and precepts of a Holy God for ever and not suffer the consequences. Through His Word and through the examples given to us to study and apply we can learn how to rule and reign in victory in life. Here is Samson's ChurchBuster episode .... Power Without Purity Is A Dangerous Illusion
