We have to question the presence of God in our churches when we can't even go to other believers with our problems. This poor guy didn't tell anyone that he was struggling! I personally don't wonder if homosexuality is rampant in the pulpit. Sin is a fact of life, and always will be. I wonder where unity, self-sacrifice, and fellowship have gone.... This is a reminder that we need to pray for our leaders! They're the ones on the front lines.
