7 Common Stumbling Blocks That Tempt Leaders Into Sexual Sin

Unfortunately, we have all too often heard of spiritual leaders (i.e. pastors) who fall into sexual sin. As a spiritual leader who has worked with other spiritual leaders for many decades, I have observed the following demonic strategies employed by seducing spirits. Since I am a man, I will speak in the context of a male leader being tempted.

The following are seven common strategies to seduce spiritual leaders:

1. Counseling alone with the opposite sex

It is a no-brainer that a spiritual leader should rarely, if ever, conduct a private counseling session with a person who has the potential for a mutual attraction. When alone in such a setting, emotional intimacy develops because of the nature of the conversations. This easily leads to a strong emotional connection that can result in sinful physical and emotional intimacy. To protect their spiritual leaders, church boards should have clear guidelines prohibiting this kind of counseling arrangement.

2. Praying alone with the opposite sex

Satan comes as an angel of light and not with a red suit and a pitch fork. I have seen people with a seductive spirit attempt to use "religious reasons" for proximity to a spiritual leader. Using religious terminology and/or action to seduce an unsuspecting believer is nothing new, based on the admonition found in Proverbs 7:6-27. The rule of thumb is to never conduct private prayer sessions with a person of the opposite sex as it can lead to unbiblical emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy.

3. Working alone with the opposite sex

It is a common thing to hear that a spiritual leader fell into sin with their secretary or co-worker. read more

Franklin Graham Defends President Trump, Slams Satan for Charlottesville Chaos - CBN News

Franklin Graham Defends President Trump, Slams Satan for Charlottesville Chaos
Aug. 15, 2017 CBN News
Franklin Graham defended Donald Trump from critics that placed blame on him for the deadly riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, that occurred over the weekend. 
Graham instead said that the blame is on Satan. 
The driver James Alex Fields Jr., 20, an alleged Nazi sympathizer, plowed a car into a crowd of activists in Charlottesville, and ended up killing one person and injuring 19. 
CNN is painting the picture of President Trump being insincere when he condemned the riots. 
"Some heard the diluted words of a man forced to bow to media pressure, while others found winking encouragement in between the lines," reporter AJ Willingham from CNN.
"When he says 'all sides,' they hear vindication," the reporter insinuated about the white supremacists. 
Franklin Graham condemned the media's blame game, stating on Facebook: 
"Shame on the politicians who are trying to push blame on President Trump for what happened in #Charlottesville, VA. That's absurd. What about the politicians such as the city council who voted to remove a memorial that had been in place since 1924, regardless of the possible repercussions? How about the city politicians who issued the permit for the lawful demonstration to defend the statue? And why didn't the mayor or the governor see that a powder keg was about to explode and stop it before it got started?" 
"Instead they want to blame President Donald J. Trump for everything. Really, this boils down to evil in people's hearts. Satan is behind it all. He wants division, he wants unrest, he wants violence and hatred. He's the enemy of peace and unity. I denounce bigotry and racism of every form, be it black, white or any other. My prayer is that our nation will come together. We are stronger together, and our answers lie in turning to God," Graham added.
Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Col., says it is the time to place blame on Trump. 
"This isn't a time for innuendo or to allow room to be read between the lines. This is a time to lay blame," said Gardner on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.
"This president has done an incredible job of naming terrorism around the globe as evil," he continued. "He has said and called it out time and time again. And this president needs to do exactly that today," he added. 
Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer also said on the same program that Trump courted white supremacists in his presidential campaign which caused them to start acting out publicly. 
"Look at the intentional courting both, on the one hand, of all these white supremacists, white nationalist groups like that, anti-Semitic groups," Signer said. "And then look on the other hand, the repeated failure to step up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different efforts."
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the attack 'meets the definition of terrorism in our statute.' 
Vice President Mike Pence also denounced white supremacists on Sunday. 
 "These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms," he said.

Does CNN's 'Finding Jesus' Tell the Truth About our Savior? - RUSTY WRIGH/ASSIST NEWS SERVICE CHARISMA NEWS

Does CNN's 'Finding Jesus' Tell the Truth About our Savior?

Join us on the new C-Pop podcast where Taylor and Jessilyn discuss, debate and sometimes deride pop culture with a strong sense of humor and a focus on Christ. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Have you ever lied about a relationship to protect yourself?  Or told close friends you didn't believe them ... about something really important?  Maybe you can identify with Peter or Thomas, subjects of the two remaining episodes in CNN's second season of Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery.
"The Bones of St. Peter" airs on April 2; "Doubting Thomas" on April 9.  Each of these two followers of Jesus had their signature flaw.  Each deserted the one they called "Lord."  Once restored, each followed Him with fervor. 
Curious about these two?  Here's a short primer that may facilitate your understanding of the CNN programs.
Fishermen Become "Fishers of Men"
Andrew, a fisherman, introduced his brother Peter to Jesus.  As they spent time together, Jesus eventually challenged the brothers plus James and John (also brothers and fishermen) to leave their trade and become "fishers of men."  Peter, James and John became Jesus' closest friends.  Traveling with him, they saw him teach, feed hungry people, heal the sick, deal with opposition.
Impressed with Jesus, Peter later reflected, "He committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth. When He was reviled, He did not revile back; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but He entrusted Himself to Him who judges righteously (1 Pet. 2: 21-23).
If your roommate says that about you, you must be something special. In fact, Peter (originally called Simon) was convinced Jesus was divine: "You are the Messiah," he affirmed, "the Son of the living God." Jesus commended this affirmation and named him Peter, meaning "Rock." 
Denial to Dedication
Peter promised Jesus on the night before his crucifixion that even if all others left, he would remain faithful.  Yet within hours, Peter had denied several times— twice to two servant girls—that he even knew Jesus.  Guilt-ridden, he wept bitterly.
Sunday morning, hearing Jesus' tomb was empty, Peter ran there and entered it to confirm.  He later saw Jesus alive, realized he was forgiven, and accepted Jesus' mandate to spread his message.  Emboldened by believing he had seen the resurrected Messiah, he pursued this vigorously, at great risk.  Tradition says he WAS eventually crucified in Rome.
Doubt to Dedication
We don't know if Thomas was born skeptical or cultivated the skill.  Jesus' biographers give us some glimpses of his attitudes.  When the disciples questioned the wisdom of returning to Judea amid threats to Jesus' life, Thomas cynically counseled, "Let us go also, that we may die with Him" (John 11:16b).  After Jesus' arrest, the disciples fled.  Only John and several women were brave enough to show up at the cross. 
When the disciples later told Thomas they had seen Jesus alive again after he died, Thomas doubted: "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand in His side, I will not believe." Eight days later, Jesus appeared to Thomas, inviting him to touch his wounds.  "My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed.  Tradition says he took Jesus' message to India, where he was martyred.
Resurrection Liars?
Flawed, failed, forgiven, faithful. Peter and Thomas gave their lives—literally—in Jesus' service.  Cowards became heroes because they believed they had seen the resurrected Christ. Their martyrdom—and that of other disciples—argues loudly against the theory that Jesus' disciples invented the resurrection story.  Someone might willingly die for a lie they believed to be true. If these men were lying about the resurrection, they were dying for what they knew was false.  That's highly unlikely.
CNN's series highlights Peter's and Thomas' lives, also examining whether Peter visited Rome and Thomas, India. Though such questions are interesting for church history, neither outcome affects New Testament reliability. These final two CNN episodes can stimulate thinking about these two influential historical figures.
