They've fallen and they can't get up; or, The Lakeland Disaster; or, "Whoops..."

So, the Fresh Fire Ministries website has put out another statement, after all these months. Apparently Todd Bentley is filing for divorce, refuses counseling, and is NOT down with being held accountable for his actions. As my friend Andy says, hard to resist an "I told you so"--but this is as close as I'll ever come, I think; I might not have the gift of compassion, but I'm not heartless.

I'm just glad there's now one less joker on the streets, leading people astray. Now everyone, not just people with a bit more discernment than others, can see the truth for themselves (I hope).

I pray for the redemption of Bentley, for real this time, and for the countless others he's impacted--for "good" or "bad".

Chelsey, I have been waiting for him to be exposed. Men like him do great harm to the Name of Christ! It makes me sick to see the way they lead so many into a complete mess in apostasy. I pray that Bentley will be saved soon...

Sad. But I'm not that surprised.

Have you seen Seven Pounds? If you have, would you recommend me seeing it? Don't tell me anything ABOUT it, because I've heard that any information of that sort would spoil it, but just say "yes" or "no" to me going to see it.

No, I haven't seen it--but from two people I've talked to who have, one said they HATED it don't bother, and the other said they LOVED it you HAVE to see it. So I would have been confused, but I got my cousin to tell me the plot, and after hear it...well, I don't really want to see it--if I told you why, I'd give away the ending.

Let it suffice for me to say that I don't like mushy-gushy movies--even if they DO star Will Smith... ;0)

I, unlike you, don't have the obstacle of "a heart," so I'll go right ahead and say it. Multiple times even.

I told you so.
I told you so.
I told you so.
I told you so.

My work here is done.
