"It would be wonderful if someone would [speak out against child molesting from pulpits---ed.]….However, … this sin is merely the most horrific manifestation of the lack of accountability ….The root of the problem is that somehow these men think they can get away with it, because nobody can challenge "the man of God".
I for one would be more impressed if one of these IFB-KJB… pastors pointed out the Biblical pattern of a plurality of Biblically qualified elders, whom the Pastor and all other people in the assembly are accountable to…. Pastors might still commit adultery, child molesting, wife abuse and other terrible sins (for the sin nature is still present), but it would reduce the number of men giving into their sinful cravings, and it would reduce the overall number of incidents in the church as a whole. I could also add that we would see new power in preaching, real evangelism, strong churches, etc. (rather than a corrupt edifice focusing on "the man of God" and "soul winning").
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
