I never heard James preach. I quit watching anything from Gateway, and particularly Robert Morris several years ago after I had my personal "great awakening" to the Word of Faith movement. I came out of the New Age so I was familiar with certain things that the WoF group teaches. Robert was very subtle though, and I admit that it took me a little over a year to recognize that he was, in fact, one of them. I believe that if God truly has His hand on James, He will make a way for him. I pray that James uses this time to evaluate his theology, and trust in God, not man, to open doors for him.
I'm glad Robert's sin was exposed! He doesn't deserve any sympathy! He never felt bad about what he did to Cindy's life! It will affect her entire life! No one should be held to this high esteem! Not worthy!
I think it's a good move for James to step down. He is probably eager to get out from his father's shadow (now very dark shadow) and forge his own path.
What responsible parents who love their children would ever allow them to spend unsupervised time with any pastors and/or church leaders? There have been enough of these scandals involving predator priests/pastors - everybody by now should know that there are real risks involved in taking your children to church activities. The "hits" just keep coming. I found out many years after elementary school that a Catholic clergyman who was one of my teachers was arrested and exposed as a predator - so I've seen one of these monstrosities up close and I could read about him in the newspapers. These risks need to be discussed and not swept under the rug. Churches need to own up to the fact that the very structure of their organizations is somehow attracting very sick people who wish to have unsupervised and private access to children and using their status as authority figures to aid them. We all place our children in special seats when they are riding in cars, and we do this because we wish to protect them. Why should our desires to protect our offspring suddenly go away during church time?
What his father did was horrible and criminal. What James and his wife did was honorable simple due to the fact that the church would not be able to move forward with Robert’s son as a reminder of the evil done by his father.
What happened to pastors being called by God? 🤔 Nowadays, all you need to inherit the pulpit is to be born into a family whose father is the pastor. Glad James decided to leave all that - it wouldn't be right for him to take over as pastor. His father was a false teacher anyway.
John 10:12&13 12 “He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 “ He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. NAS The rank and file members of the 501c3 corporation, known more publicly as Gateway church, can’t blame anyone but themselves if they can’t recognize the hirelings and the wolves in their midst. The hirelings flee or they attempt to appease the wolves in order to preserve their position of privilege and seat of honor. The son shall not be punished for the sins of the father, but the son is culpable if he facilitates and conceals the sins of the father. Matt 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. NAS

Exactly. Morris preached a lot of false stuff over the years.
These people are all just motivational speakers - they aren't real Christians. They are very good at what they do as entertainers as well.

Not worthy!

I did see a cross on the outside of the church. This is true but the elders and the pastors need to follow what's in the Bible.
I feel sorry when parents make decisions that hurt the family. Having the last name people assume everyone is the same. 😢

Close the doors.
Thanks for the reminder! Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference!
They kicked him out
Gateway has NEVER had 100,000 ‘active’ attendees - the number is closer to 30,000

Exactly. It's all about the $$$ and prestige.
You’re exactly right. Morris preached a lot of false stuff over the years.

passing the dynasty from father to son, how shameless
