I definitely don't relish in someone else's fall, but it does help me in two ways... 1) Check my own walk. 2) Understand grace and forgiveness just a little bit better. These situations are always tough. I definitely don’t relish in someone else’s fall, but it does help me in two ways…

1) Check my own walk.
2) Understand grace and forgiveness just a little bit better.

Is it human nature that we just do not seem to learn from these kind of things? What always makes me a bit curious is that you see something like this and a few weeks later someone else gets caught for the same thing.. Mind boggling. I probably need to revisit my feelings on this a bit. I think I now feel really sorry for this guy. His lapse in judgement will haunt him for a very long time and it is sad because he is filled with talent and could be a great messenger. I pray that others see and learn, forgive and don't repeat. @bradruggles…Great point.

The key here is extending the same grace to people who fail that was given so freely to us. This grace isn't a license to keep screwing up (Paul talks about that in Romans) but is instead a promise that God loves us despite our shortcomings, not because of how much we measure up.
