The Gash on the Hillside

Today is a dark day. Ted Haggart, outspoken American evangelical leader confessed to sexual immorality after being exposed by a male escort and accused of buying drugs and sexual services. I own one of his highly recommended books, and would never expect him to fall like this.

Thinking about this incident is like looking up at a cliff where once there stood a spacious look-out which is now reduced to a gash on the hillside.

There are a number of lessons one can learn through this incident:

One, you will never know how near the edge of the cliff you can go before the ground gives way below you. Two, some may gladly help you over the edge.

Conclusion: Don't go there.
