Hindsight Is 20/20

Of course knowing it would blow-up like it has, Pastor Steve Grimes would have handled it differently. All things considered, I'm not so sure I disagree with him. With the understanding of the way the church atmosphere is since the death of Adrian Rogers. The pastor may have thought this was just another trick. I do say another, as though it seems that this is not the first. I find it hard to believe this is the first time this issue came up in seventeen years. All these people coming forth with complaints now. Where have they been all this time? It's reminiscent of the Michael Jackson trial.

It amazes me how everyone wants to take matters in their own hand. The word of God has given us specific instructions on what we should do in cases like this. This situation could be best handled by following them. Since this is a church matter let's see what scripture has to say. To get things in a bibical mood, let's start right here. Let the law handle legal things. Let the word handle the spiritual.
Matthew 22:21
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Had this been put in the hands of the proper authorities(police)to begin with. The job would already be half done. What would happen then is what the word has told us here:
1 Timothy 5
24Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Pastor Grimes didn't have this opportunity being that he inherited the problem. In all fairness it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback. It's easy to come with the shoulda, woulda, coulda suggestions, hindsight is 20/20.
