I feel very angry, shocked, hurt, betrayed, furious, disappointed and rejected by what Pastor Paul has done. Every weekend for the last couple of years I so looked forward to hearing him teach. Days when I didn't feel like going to church or when things were just bringing me down, I knew if I just made it to ALCF and if Pastor Paul was speaking, I'd leave afterwards feeling uplifted and hopeful. Every single time. His humor and his way of looking at things in Scripture and in life is so refreshing and unique. Everyday at 2:30pm it was a nice time to stop and take a break and reflect listening to Enduring Truth. As a newer Christian, the radio program sustained me daily. And now all of that is gone. His saying, that it's not a Pastor Paul thing but it's all about God, is what is preventing me from being angrier at God right now. I realize we are all human and have our weaknesses, "from the pastor on down", and I know I will eventually forgive him. But, I'm just so shocked and angry right now. With that said, I will TRULY miss Pastor Paul. His work has positively touched the lives of more people than anyone will ever know. I pray for healing for his wife, kids and him. And I thank God for the short period of time that I had growing in faith under Pastor Paul's teachings. Thank you and God be with you Pastor Paul.
I was devastated to learn of Pastor Paul's resignation. I live in the Washington DC area and have been listening to Enduring Truth for a few years on the internet. I started listening to him when I was going through a "midnight of the soul" season in my own ministry and life. God used Pastor Paul to restore joy to my ministry in a time when the difficulties and challenges of pastoring had almost caused me to give up and quit! When I was not able to download current messages onto my iphone I searched the internet to learn of his confession of moral failure. My spirit was greatly grieved and I cried! I cried because of the impact his resignation will have on the Kingdom of God. I cried because Pastor Paul's acts of "moral infidelity" could easily become a stumbling block -- especially for young converts and others who may not be spiritually mature enough to accept that "All sin and fall short of the glory of God." I cried because once again, the devil got a foot in the doorhold and will use the weaknesses of a man to attack the church, attempt to diminish it's witness and create division in the body of Christ.I am praying for Pastor Paul's full restoration. Inspite of human failure, he is an anointed man of God and God is not finished with him yet -- or any of us -- for that matter. Out of this test there will be an even greater testimony!!! For those of you who are throwing stones, be careful. They might come back to hit you in the head.I am praying for the entire Sheppard family, the church family, the Body of Christ and especially for those who are discouraged and dissillusioned by these current events. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called to His purpose for them!" Ro. 8:28

Denialism is weakening. For example on this blog denial of the greenhouse effect has all but vanished. The sky dragon have been slain. Judith Curry has directly dismissed their arguments, as well as Roy Spencer. Not even WUWT will give time to greenhouse deniers anymore. 2ff7e9595c
