the only thing you can take away from this is that what Lawson did was decreed- he had no choice but to do it. they way you talk makes it obvious you did not understand what Lawson believed and taught, you do not understand the company that he keeps, nor do you even understand this situation... also you mentioned that listening to Lawson made you want to have a deeper relationship with God; how so? what exactly did he say that brought about this desire?

It also helps if you are a popular minister & you’re ugly and out of shape. Dr. Lawson is a fit, well dressed man & it increases his attractiveness to women. You can tell he cares about his appearance & that just increases the likelihood that women will be receptive if you & if you run into just right situation one it can cause problems. I’d suspect this is not the first woman.

Please pray for the vicims, the family, church family, the Bride of Christ! The reproach that this kind of sin brings upon the name of Christ and trumling upon His Blood is deplorable! Lord have Mercy🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

At the start it hit cause there’s more to come than one season

Amen

this one is so powerful. be blessed🙌

Are you single?

Thank you for pointing us directly to Christ and reminding us that we are all infallible.. May God cover us with his mercy and grace because we are nothing without its..

Bad doctrine = bad morals is what reformed heresy hunters always say... Regardless this is extremely sad situation. 🙏

1. Dr. Steve Lawson from the Ligonier Ministries' 2009 National Conference, The Holiness of God containing his address, "The Legacy of John Calvin" given on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth: "Rightly has one contemporary author identified John Calvin as the man of the millennium, meaning he is the single greatest influence upon modern history over the last thousand years. I would agree with that, in fact, I would push it out further and say that Calvin is the man of the last two millennia, that you would have to go all the way back to the days of the biblical writers, to Paul and to John, in order to see one who towered above history and has left such a dominant influence. It is almost impossible to overstate the importance and the legacy of John Calvin. William Cunningham, the Scottish divine, said 'Calvin was by far the greatest of the Reformers. Calvin is the man who, next to St. Paul, has done most to mankind.' And no less than Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, said 'Among all those who have been born of women,' and that pretty much covers the field, 'among all those who have born of women, there has not been risen a greater than John Calvin. No age before him ever produced his equal and no age afterwards has seen his rival.' As a result, S.M. Houghton has written 'It has been said that to omit John Calvin from the history of Western civilization is to read history with one eye closed.' These are among the estimates of Calvin's life and ministry and his place in history, and so the question before us now is 'What is his legacy? Calvin stood at the headwaters of the Reformation and we now stand downstream, and what has flowed downstream to us from the pulpit, the study and the pen of John Calvin?'" 0:58 - 3:21 of Steve Lawson: The Legacy of John Calvin youtube com /watch?v=xx1g5WfM6Xw 2. John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book III, Chapter 23, No. 7: "I AGAIN ASK HOW IT IS THAT THE FALL OF ADAM INVOLVES SO MANY NATIONS WITH THEIR INFANT CHILDREN IN ETERNAL DEATH WITHOUT REMEDY UNLESS THAT IT SO SEEMED MEET TO GOD? Here the most loquacious tongues must be dumb. THE DECREE, I ADMIT, IS, DREADFUL; AND YET IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DENY THAT GOD FOREKNOW WHAT THE END OF MAN WAS TO BE BEFORE HE MADE HIM, BECAUSE HE HAD SO ARRANGED BY HIS DECREE. Should any one here inveigh against the prescience of God, he does it rashly and unadvisedly. For why, pray, should it be made a charge against the heavenly Judge, that he was not ignorant of what was to happen? Thus, if there is any just or plausible complaint, it must be directed against predestination. Nor ought it to seem absurd when I SAY, THAT GOD NOT ONLY FORESAW THE FALL OF THE FIRST MAN, AND IN HIM THE RUIN OF HIS POSTERITY, BUT ALSO AT HIS OWN PLEASURE ARRANGED IT." [Beveridge translation, p. 586; NTS Library website /PDF Books/Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, pdf 594 of 944]

Reminds me of Ravi zacharias, truth comes out one way or another. Adultery is not a one-time slip up, its kept in darkness, its calculated; its conscious sin for an extended period for the sake of self-gratification. A wife and family are affected, the flock he shepherded is betrayed, lets not undermine he is in the wrong immensely and the stain it leaves on his life as mentioned 8:30 is well deserved. I do pray he is convicted to a repentance that drives him back to the Lord as his relationship with Him must be reconciled first before anything. I may sound harsh but I dont want to start with words of pity because we should acknowledge error. It does bring reality to the fact that everyone in the body is susceptible to temptation, that the seemingly “best of us” can fall just as fast as to the reason not to trust fully in them as our moral standard but to God. Moses led the Israelites yet he never set foot in the promised land, its no new reality.

I don't agree with Steve Lawson's convoluted Calvinism. Well my goodness is being a Christian a tightrope walk one slip up and your whole life comes crashing down?

Unfortunately on reformed theology he likely thought anything I do is at the end of the day decreed by God. Calvinism can easily lead to fatalism and a loss of the need for self control. Because at the end of the day you believe you have zero control and that God decided every decision for you. Very scary slippery slope and I hope that thought and lesson pull people from that theology and back to the theology that God loves everyone and gives them all the choices to make. We will then all understand that we cannot throw the blame back onto God for what he “ordained” us to do but that it was our freedom we abused. God bless

If you look at someone of the mightiest, smartest, most God-fearing men in the Bible. They fell to adultery as well. I think we definitely need to pray for Steve Lawson.

The grace of disillusionment with pastors can be a pivotal moment for believers. When a pastor falls or fails to meet expectations, it often forces people to shift their focus away from human leaders and back to Christ. This disillusionment, though painful, can be a gift, reminding us that our faith should never rest in flawed individuals but in the perfect, unfailing Savior. It prompts a return to a biblical understanding of leadership, where Christ is the true head of the Church, and every believer is called to participate in the life of the body.

I feel bad for Steve and the families involved. And I mean that sincerely. I pray for him and his restoration. I don want to seem non compassionate but the Reformed response to this should be “Glory to God” based on the ideological perspective of Reformed Theology. Steve did preach a sermon called “Unlocking Divine Plan:God’s Sovereignty Unveiled.” In it he says “…He works all things after the counsel of His will. Included in this sovereign will that has come out of His counsel is the choice of His elect… it included all the affairs of providence, where you would be born… who would have influences upon your life…who you would marry… there is no end to all that God pre-scripted as the author of His eternal decree… He is determined to carry out plan A and He will never deviate from His plan A, there is no plan B” Glory to God for His ‘Plan A’

Totally agree with you brother. Grateful that the moral failing didn’t hinder your faith, may our faith always be in the living word of God!! Lord keep us close to You.

Dude. The church is the reason why you feel that repulsion. You think that way because you've been taught it's wrong. Please actually think about it. Take an objective look at you believe the things you do and honestly consider it. It's ok. Human beings don't have the answers to our existential questions. You don't have to be intimidated by your negative thoughts. They're not genuine. You were coerced.

Lol. He's basically projecting and overcompensating

Hope this is the only engagement you ever get. You’re making garbage content and should focus on something that actually helps the world

I have news for you, still homosexual

I love God. But it’s also okay to love another man. There is nothing wrong with being gay. God is good.

Hes also a liar

I went through electronic shock therapy organized by a Dr who was President of the Baptist Church at that time. They put me in a locked booth and put a wire ring on my private parts that measured temperature changes. They showed me about 1000 pictures of women and 1000 pictures of men (estimated) over about 10 days. When my body temperature rose when I saw the men, they delivered high voltages of electricity through other wires that were attached. There is nothing anyone can do to alter the outcome of those tests. But the machine never recorded anything when I saw all those pictures of nude women. There is NOTHING anyone can do to alter the outcome of those tests. It proved medically that being gay is NOT a choice and that I am gay. I was married to my accepting wife for 51 years. She developed MS and I cared for her for 26 years before she passed in 2022. This proved medically that God creates some people gay and I am proud to be one of them. I am now free to be the gay man I always was. But I do not have a boyfriend. I'm 77 and too old now. But I strongly support same sex marriage. I was a Baptist Pastor and missionary but I was told I am not welcome to even attend church because I am gay. Being gay is NOT wrong or sinful.

Wow, I'm so thankful for James and his testimony and love of God and for knowing his story and hoping it will help others that are confused to look to God and know of his forgiveness and love.

This is powerful,Glory be to God.
