A very, very sick and tragic story……..Be careful who you put your faith in. Man will fail you. JESUS NEVER WILL!
It seems every week we are reporting on the moral failure of Pastors. Tragic. Too much of the Church turning into the world, chasing people away from the Church.

HOUSTON (BP) – Paul Pressler, the Texas judge whose grassroots strategy redirected the Southern Baptist Convention, died June 7, 2024, in Houston, Texas, three days after his 94th birthday and less than six months after the settlement of a lawsuit alleging decades-long sexual assault by Pressler against multiple victims.
For decades in the SBC, Pressler was venerated as an almost mythical hero of Southern Baptists for his coordination and leadership of what is known as the Conservative Resurgence.
However, when Pressler was 87, his legacy was forever stained when a lawsuit was filed alleging that he had sexually molested the plaintiff, Gareld Duane Rollins, from the late 1970s when Rollins was 14, and enrolled in a Pressler-led Bible study, through 2004.
This was the first time most Southern Baptists became aware of such accusations against Pressler, though he had confidentially settled a different lawsuit in 2004 from Rollins alleging assault. Evidence in the 2017 case included affidavits by multiple men who claimed Pressler engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior with them beginning in the 1970s. More Here
