      Wonder why God didnt call you to be a Pastor? Maybe you couldnt have handled it. Or lived the way you should have. Amazing how many people who is not called but know how to tell everybody else how to live and what to do. Amazing. Have you ever sinned before Jimmy failed and after he failed God? If so dont forget that.

    Bro. Swaggart fell from the grace of God, he committed adultery like the prophet David, the good choice he made was to confess his sin and repented of it. Just because he's a preacher doesn't mean that he's perfect, it proves that he's human; and gave into his temptation. God has forgiven him, now he has to move forward and keep his eyes on the Lord, stay focused and serve God 🙏🏻 God be with him.

    Jimmy Swaggart is a great TV evangelist. He preaches every day yet, and he is almost 90 years old. He and his pastors preach about saving your souls and guiding you to the message of the Cross. He could retire but he doesn't because he wants to help people. So what have you done for your brothers and sisters?? God Bless Jimmmy Swaggart for saving me in December 2022.
