A New Pastor Finally Appointed

I wrote last month on the lose of one of our pastors in a near by town. He had to leave the ministry because of moral falure to the point that he can never be restored to ministry in the Church of God.
Finally after a month the church has a new pastor. A young energetic minister who I believe will quickly get the church back up to speed and to winning souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a little perturbed. Number one I felt the State Office took to long to name a replacement pastor for this church. Number two the one they appointed was my executive pastor. So now, even though this church is blessed, I have a vacant spot on my ministerial team. It will take someone with a lot of energy and get up and go attitude in a replacement I know God will send us someone to take his place. I am sure that God is going to bless him in this new endeavor. This will be his first time being a senior pastor. So pray for this church!
I receive a call from the state offices this morning wanting an address for the father and mother of the fallen minister. After a month maybe they are going to reach out to them and minister to them. They also served the Church of God many years as pastors. They are loved and appreciated so much and are just one of the many who are hurting because of the moral failure of their son. We are praying for Samuel and Mary that God will bless them greatly in their retirement years. Please keep this family in your prayers. They really need it.
I hate to sound like a broken record but I just can't believe the greed and selfishness of a minister who will indulge his own lustful desires to the point that it destroys so much having to do with family and the church. This happen way to many times.
