Ministers should strive to walk the straight and narrow. But the only one who hasn't ever succumb to temptation was Jesus himself, but He was tempted. The devil tried. As long as people put their trust and faith in the people who lead the church instead of who they are being led to, they will be disappointed at some point. The role of the minster is to lead us to have a closer relationship and understanding for ourselves. If a minister is not leading the church in a manner you can agree with, leave the church and pray for him. If his life is a lie, leave the church and pray for him. Humans have a sinful nature. None of us is perfect. I've always understood that. I guess I was under the impression that most others were as well.

I agree Conskeeted.
I have mixed views about this person writing a book about megachurches and megapastors. I think on one hand it's not our place to expose "the mess." Then on the other hand, I see how and why people are so upset with how this new movement has become a business versus a ministry and feel the need to speak out against it. My personal opinion: God will do the exposing in due time. We need to continue to go the church that we feel we're being ministered to and pray for the state of our nation.
