I don't know if the accusations are true, but, regardless, this situation has done nothing but leave a black eye on those who are identified with Christ. It disturbs me.
But, I think, there's an underlying problem here, too: why have we allowed anyone to have control over this much of anything that is supposed to belong to God? Wait a minute, I thought it all belonged to God. And, why should we expect that giving a person this much control over anything wouldn't taint many or most of the people who have that power and authority.
What happened to Him owning it all? What happened to the idea that we are just stewards? What happened to the idea that they will know us by our love?
I'm just disturbed that these accusations have come out. I can't say that I'm terribly in favor of either side of the issue. One is accused of financial mismanagement and abusing the privileges of office (Should we even have offices? What's wrong with us humans that we are clamoring for little kings in our lives? Look at Saul, for crying out loud!) and the other files suit against the school. What happened to "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord" and not to take another believer to court because it shames the name of Christ? Whose stuff is it anyways and whose fight is it anyways?
God help us all to see things from His point of view.
