Nowadays Christians are under a lot of scrutiny and when we fall the world points a finger accusing us of hypocrisy. But Christians will always be tempted to do those things which we know are horribly wrong. It's only by the grace of God that we do not fall flat on our faces every day of our lives. So when another high profile Christian falls it is our duty to pray, first for ourselves that we will not fall and then for our brother. Pray for Ted Haggard, his family and his church. They have a tough battle ahead.
"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:19-24 ESV
