A ministry mentor, John MacArthur, has said to me on numerous occasions that “when a man falls, he doesn’t fall far.” In other words, a serious breach of leadership integrity does not occur in a vacuum. Men who have, by the grace of God, forged a pattern of moral veracity are not suddenly seduced by a life of lies and hypocrisy. Betrayal of this sort slowly percolates out of the heart over time with a host of smaller, virtually undetected compromises. When an integrity scandal breaks, the fall of that leader is more like a short hop!

*** If Jesus Came Back ***

Would you have to change your clothes
Before you let Him in?
Or hide some magazines,
And put the Bible where they'd been?
 
Would you hide your worldly music
And put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in,
Or would you rush about?
 
And I wonder if the Savior
Spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing,
The things you always do?
 
Would you go right on saying
The things you always say?
Or would life for you continue
As it does from day to day?
 
Would you take Jesus with you
Everywhere you go?
Or would you maybe change your plans
For just a day or so?
 
Would you be glad to have Him
Meet your closest friends?
Or would you hope they stay away
Until His visit ends?
 
Would you be glad to have Him stay
Forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great relief
When He at last was gone?
 
It might be interesting to know,
The things that you would do,
If Jesus came in person,
To spend some time with you.

*** I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON TO JESUS ***

When the clouds are gathering yonder
And my way looks dark and dim
I'll "Keep Holding On To Jesus"
I've put all my trust in him
 
Like a tiny sparrow falling
Or a ship that's lost at sea
Jesus sees my darkest moments
And he lights the path for me
 
When the sun is shining brightly
And the stars twinkling at night
I will still hold tight to Jesus
He will be my guiding light
 
"I'll Keep Holding On To Jesus"
Every moment we shall be
Hand in hand, we'll walk and Jesus
Will keep holding onto me
 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
