“When a leader falls, the consequences ripple: The name of Christ is blasphemed among unbelievers. The sheep are scattered, wounded, and distrustful. The credibility of the gospel witness is weakened. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. He will expose what is done in darkness. Churches that ignore character, excuse sin, or restore men prematurely are complicit in the corruption of the pulpit.”
(Andrew Rappaport – TruthScript) A Dangerous Drift In a world that rewards charisma over character and visibility over virtue, it is imperative that we examine our hearts and recover the biblical vision of faithful ministry. We are living in a day when it has never been easier to build a platform. One can reach thousands with a single video, post, or soundbite. But herein lies the danger: many are building platforms who were never called to ministry.
We live in a time of unprecedented access to preaching, teaching, and spiritual content. But even as our generation is saturated with platforms and personalities, we are also witnessing a crisis in the pulpit. The names of once-trusted leaders have fallen like dominoes under the weight of scandal—sexual immorality, financial misconduct, abuse of power, and pride.
These failures are not distant headlines. They strike at the heart of the church, disillusioning the faithful, scattering the sheep, and bringing reproach upon the name of Christ. The lines are blurred. The temptation is subtle. And many who start with sincerity in serving Christ quietly begin shifting toward seeking the praise of men.
