“Just like the outside culture, celebrity pastors have adoring fans and often function like celebrities. They grow massive egos and insulate themselves from the outside world. In so doing, they become shepherds unlike Jesus, who was humble, approachable, and would talk to anyone (John 4:1-45). Fame, largely speaking, has not been good for pastors who have ascended to those levels.”
(Seth Brickley – TruthScript) It has been a regular occurrence over the years to hear news that another famous person died in tragedy. The reasons they die are often not automobile crashes or cancer, but rather suicide, alcohol abuse, or drug overdose. We see many leave this world far too young. In the movie industry, this includes Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger, Dana Plato, Lee Thompson Young, and most recently Hayden Panettiere….
In the music world, this includes Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. To escape fame, Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the band “The Doors,” moved to Paris, but while in Paris, he died at the young age of twenty-seven from what many believe (no autopsy was performed) was an accidental heroin overdose.
