Casting Stones

And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

John 8:7 

Recently a famous pastor who I had the pleasure to meet one time fell from grace as a woman from his past charged him with sexual misconduct. He had repented of this years before and spoken of it, so why now does this lady come forward at age 54? 

My feeling is all of us have sinned(Romans 3:23) and this happened and was not hidden. What advantage does a person have in destroying another’s reputation?I am not defending this but simply saying don’t go around gloating about other’s downfalls because all have stumbled someway at some point. 

Pray for those in prison, jail, in detention, and those misunderstood. Also pray for accusers of people as scripture says Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). Don’t gossip about those who have had a downfall but pray for them. Be kind. 

PRAYER: Lord I lift up all individuals falsely or wrongly accused of something. I pray for people who truly need help and want freedom from junk in their past. I thank you that you can restore the years the locust has eaten as it says in scripture. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
