Recent Email on Former Church leader

I recently received an email from a friend I had acquainted with during Dr. Stephen Tong's Rally. Since he brought up the name, I shared my thought on this person, who has now left CCGC and joined his chuch, briefly, with him.

His recent email made a short statement about this person as being good to the church, claiming to lean towards calvinism.

I replied I had no doubt about his doctrinal direction and that it is good to hear he's being "good" to his church.

That would be enough. Despite my suspicion.

Of course, the major problem I have on this person is simple: Promising but immature for his age, as a christian. Then this is similar to most young western christian leaders these days. Nothing shocking.

However, when I recall the past, after all these years, I have arrived at a much clearer conclusion:

When one can indulge in a thousand girlfriends while holding a leadership position in a Christian community and making himself greater than the incumbency of a pastoral anointment of God, it is very difficult for me not to have a huge question mark on his sense of responsibility, not in the world, but in God's work.
