Just listened to a tiny bit of one of his sermons (
https://youtu.be/M3kM6Rax1AU). Maybe it's my bias from already knowing about his misconduct & double-life, but I sensed some similarities in his speaking to that of LC leaders. Also obviously couldn't even listen/watch this man without feeling disgusted. Someone mentioned in a comment that they just found his sermon a few months ago and have been "devouring" all his messages since then (this was maybe before the allegations came into full view?). IDK, for some reason it bothers me that many of these "christian" leaders have a certain pull and charisma, and people latch onto that so easily. With all his evil deeds while preaching in the name of Christ, does it even matter if he was speaking the truth or not? As for me, there is absolutely no way I could separate someone's message from their patterns of action. This man was a liar and a hypocrite, he had no desire to repent and thought he could get away with his evil deeds.
1 John 3:8-10 ESV
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
