I wrote the previous post on this topic a week or so prior to the Haggard incident. While we might quibble over how much gets told to the population and what kind of stuff gets told, hopefully we agree that lying to the laity isn’t a good idea either. I do hope he is willing to come clean. I’d love to see a willingness to own without denial and to give a good example of what real confession looks like. We all have a tendency to confess in ways that make us look not so bad. I expect that he probably didn’t do all that his accuser has stated. The political reasons for the revelation of facts now cannot be understated.
A good reminder to us that “little” sins lead to bigger ones.
