Will I Be Honest Today? by Bo Sanchez
I don’t know if you’ve read the news.
But Rev. Ted Haggard is all over it.
We don’t know him very well here, but he’s one of the most famous evangelical leaders in America.
Before I describe the scandal, let me tell you how big he is in the U.S.
His credentials: Senior Pastor of the 14,000 member New Life mega-church he founded 20 years ago; and the President of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE)—a 30 Million strong organization in America. He was even named by TIME Magazine as one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in America. He’s a 50-year- old married man with five kids.
But last week, Mike Jones, a gay prostitute, accused Haggard of hiring him for sex. For the past three years, Jones said that Haggard would get his services "about once a month". And he said that Haggard even used shabu to heighten the experience. At first, the pastor denied the allegations on TV, saying he didn’t know Mike Jones and that he was faithful to his wife.
But when the voice recording Jones presented proved to be Haggard’s, he changed his story. He said he bought shabu from Jones but never used it—and that he only got a massage from Jones. He said he bought the drugs because he was tempted but threw them away.
But finally, the truth came out.
Haggard has finally admitted to sexual immorality. In his words, "The accusations that have been leveled against me are not all true, but enough of them are true…"
His church board has dismissed him as Senior Pastor.
Ted Haggard wrote a farewell letter to his church. Let me quote a few lines…
I am a deceiver and a liar. There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I’ve been warring against it all of my adult life. For extended periods of time, I would enjoy victory and rejoice in freedom. Then, from time to time, the dirt that I thought was gone would resurface, and I would find myself thinking thoughts and experiencing desires that were contrary to everything I believe and teach…Then, because of pride, I began deceiving those I love the most because I didn’t want to hurt or disappoint them…
When I stopped communicating about my problems, the darkness increased and finally dominated me. As a result, I did things that were contrary to everything I believe.
Ted is not the first to fall.
In a shocking 1983 doctoral thesis by Richard Blackmon, he reported that 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner.
On the other side of the religious fence, we’ve read about the sex scandals of Catholic priests accused of paedophilia and sexual abuse towards women. So far, 800 priests are undergoing trial and 232 priests have been removed from pastoral work in America.
Why do I write this blog?
Because Ted Haggard and I are alike. (In one sense, we all are.)
No, I’m not homosexually oriented.
Nor have I had sex with anyone other than my wife.
Nor have I ever taken drugs.
But how many times have I covered-up my own sins?
How many times have I tried to polish my image and made people believe I’m holier than I really was?
Let me say something controversial: Ted fell not because he used a male prostitute. Or that he took drugs.
He finally fell because he wasn’t honest.
Jones said Ted used him for three years.
That’s three years of cover-up, three years of dishonesty.
In my book, Your Past Does Not Define Your Future, I told everyone that I was addicted to pornography and sexual fantasies, and to this day, I’m always tempted to go back to my old addictions. These temptations will remain until I get buried six feet under mother earth. (Okay, to be sure, wait for two minutes after the last shovel of soil is placed over me.) In the book, I shared about how I was sexually abused as a child (yes, also by a religious leader when I was 13 years old). And how this destroyed my self-worth and warped my idea of sex.
You know what?
Writing about my weakness became my salvation.
I became honest.
And honesty saves us from more sin.
No, I’m not saying that everyone should now write a book about their weaknesses.
But we should have a small group of people who know our sins.
And I’ve realized that it can’t be a one-time honesty.
Only daily honesty can save us.
For example, I have a spiritual director. (Hi, Fr. Steve!) We’re supposed to meet every other month, but when things get busy, guess what’s the first activity I postpone? (Sorry, Fr. Steve!)
Thankfully, I go to confession regularly to my other friend priests.
Sometimes, it’s so shameful to say the same things over and over again in confession—"Father, I’ve fallen again to sexual fantasies, pride, laziness…" Sometimes, I’m tempted to hand him a Xeroxed copy and say, "Same as before Father…"
But that’s not totally true.
Over the years, I’ve seen a teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy, can’t-see-with-the-naked-eye, microscopic improvement in my fight against sin. Perhaps I don’t sin as much. (I sinned 3,566,929 times last year. This year, I sinned only 3,566,928 times.)
Aside from confession, I also have two groups of men that I open my life to: The elders of my community, Light of Jesus, and the Kerygma Preachers. We meet twice a month for prayer, sharing, and friendship.
But even that, it’s all up to me to bring up my inner garbage to them.
Because it’s so tempting to say, "Everything is A-Ok," or to focus the conversation purely on my ministry success and not on the inconsistencies of personal life. Because I’m sure Ted Haggard had these accountability relationships. He just didn’t use them.
Again, because honesty is a purely internal decision.
No matter what external structure you have—a spiritual director, monthly confessions, accountability small groups—at the end of the day, it’s still all up to you: Will you be honest today?
Being honest has helped me hang on to holiness.
Yes, I intentionally used the word hang-on.
Because I feel as though it’s a thread that’s keeping me faithful to God.
At anytime, the thread can snap—and I’ll be another Ted Haggard. (The difference between Ted Haggard and myself is a thread. Just a thread.)
It’s terrifying.
But that terror is good for my soul.
It reminds me to be honest today.
And the next day.
And the day after that…
Because if one morning, I face the mirror and can’t say I’m an honest person, then that’s it.
The thread has snapped.

Danyili cries out to God
** an article taken from International Mission Board (focus on China)
One morning while Danyili was meditating before work, he remembered the curiosity he used to have. “Once I thought there was a God,” he thought with a pang of remorse. There in the room Danyili cried out to God: “Whoever you are show me, tell me! If you’re Buddha, Muhammad, or someone else – just show me.”
Deep in his heart Danyili knew there is a designer. “Everything has a designer,” he said. “Even chairs and software have a designer.” Danyili cried for an hour, which he had never done in his life, and felt strongly led to visit a church the following Sunday.
And after accepting Christ there, “everything changed,” he says. His bad temper began to dissolve. Even his physical ailments disappeared.
The more Danyili grew in knowledge of God, the more he wanted to share what he learned with others – like the taxi drivers he meets.
When is the last time you’ve taken a different route simply to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with someone new?
Each time Danyili* needs a taxi, he takes a different one – just so he can witness to the driver. Danyili, a devoted believer in Q-City, China, has been known to share Christ with 100 people a week – and lots of them accept.
But steadfast and articulate Danyili didn’t come from a Christian background. He looked down on Western cultures, and when a foreigner gave him a Bible, he threw it away.
“I lived the good life,” he says. “I had success in work. But my wife and I were always fighting, and sometimes we talked about divorce. I had a quick temper.”
Questions from Danyili’s younger years often crept back into his life: “Where did I come from? What am I heading for?”

5 Faith-Building Steps To A Powerful Prayer Life
- article taken from 700clubasia.org (visit thier site, you will see exciting and inspiring testimonies) watch the show weeknights @ 11:30pm.
1. Endure: Don't lose heart. Keep praising God for His goodness. (James 1:1-4)
James encourages us to "consider it all joy" when we encounter trials that test our faith. That may sound difficult. But as we endure these trials, pressing on in faith and believing God has our best interests at heart, we will emerge from the experience "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." Often, God allows us to go through difficult challenges because those very experiences shape us to receive the answer He has already prepared. Even in the midst of pain, if we can press on -- praying, standing on His Word, believing His promises -- we will see His goodness bring us to a better place.
2. Stop worrying: Ask God for wisdom concerning your situation. (James 1:5)
God gives wisdom to everyone who asks Him. He gives it generously. He doesn't think any less of us for asking. In fact, He loves it when we come to Him with our concerns. But the catch is, we have to ask for wisdom to get it. Too many of us reason out problems and come up with solutions on our own -- coming to God only as a last resort. God tells us in Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know." If we come to Him as soon as we encounter difficulties, He promises to give us His perspective on our situation. He can show us ways to deal with our trials that may never have occurred to us.
3. Deal with doubt: Come to God in faith -- and expect an answer! (James 1:6-8)
When you ask God for help, remember that He is faithful. When Jesus invited Peter to walk with Him on the water, Peter was able to do it -- as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus and focused on his circumstances -- looking at the waves around him and the water beneath him, he sank. When you ask God for help, focus on His Word and what He is speaking to your heart to believe for, rather than letting your faith be determined by your situation.
4 Remember: God is not limited by your circumstances. (James 1:9-11)
By the world's standards, wealthy people have the greatest range of opportunities because they have the resources to make their dreams come true. They can afford the best the world has to offer, and can gain power and influence through their wealth. In contrast, God is not impressed by a person's wealth, but rather by our willingness to believe Him and by obedience in what He has told us to do. If we are rich in faith, there are no limits to what God can accomplish through us!
5 Persevere: Keep your eyes on God, and thank Him for the victory! (James 1:12)
Through persevering in prayer in each trying situation, praising God and believing in His goodness, we will build the character we need in order to receive all that God has for us without being overwhelmed. And each situation we emerge from in triumph is a small picture of the victory that awaits all believers someday when we receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him!

the promise of Psalms 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

THE GREATEST ADVICE
-Rick Warren, the Purpose Driven Life
Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of
life's more hasty decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life
that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to
someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide
for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
God is good all the time!
Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.

Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life
that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to
someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide
for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
God is good all the time!
