Terry, This morning my wife and I played your CD "Live Worship". As we were worshiping with you my wife said "I wonder what he's doing now" and we read your story on the internet.
Romans 6:14 came to me..."Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the Law, but under grace". Amen!
Let me tell you why that is important to me. I am 71, I've been a christian since 12, I've been divorced twice and I've been a skunk. I've been married to my third wife for 23 years and about 12 years ago the Lord called me to be an assistant pastor at the church we attended. It's a large church and I had multiple responsibilities. The Lord blessed me with being able to teach and encourage maybe a thousand people. You have blessed millions and there are millions more waiting for you to lead them into worship they've never known. We are eagerly waiting for you to come back to us.

Wonderful words of encouragement. We serve a forgiving God, Terry has taken time to rest in the Lord and we wait for his return. I belive that God is ready to restore him to ministry. His ministry is a blessing to all who hears! What a God!

Terry, The condemnation you feel comes only from your mind. Why did Jesus say "be ye perfect even as----------- ? . Because there is a principle of perfection inside all of us that cannot be touched by whatever "sin" or wrongdoing.There is no one under the sun that does not violate God's law, sinner or saint.So why should you punish yourself.

Children of God, I m not going to qoute scripture you know what the bible says You can feel it in the worship. I and my wife had a time when things didnt work. Our lives were crushed, but one thing rang out loud and clear. God can take any situation turn it around for his Glory and in the process bless us to a deeper understanding of his gracious love. When God put us back together we became one in him and not just us. You are in our Prayers and will address it to the Prayer warriors of the church and hold your family up in Gods Presence. Love and Prayers The Lighthouse of Worship

To the Macalmons,
Jesus is Lord! He's over all of us. He died and rose again for us and isn't willing that any of us should perish. He's living up there interceeding for you, me and all of us. Yes, we're told in Matthew 5:48 to be ye perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. When we veer from the path, and stumble and fall, Jesus says: "Look up from whence cometh your help." My prayer is for all the family to look up, and continue to walk by faith, not by sight. As I type these words, my heart is broken because it was brought up on every album made by Brother Terry. However, as I have continued in the past 8 years or so to be ministered to by this anointed worship music, so I'll be praying for Terry and all the family, that the Lord will have His way. And by the authority invested in the believers, I stand opposed to satan who thinks he's won. he's a deceiver! His doom is the lake of fire. I'm standing with all the true worshippers who worship Jesus as Terry used to, and whom we believe will return to doing in the fulness of time. As we pray that the Lord will have His way, the Spirit of the Lord is indeed ministering to him. God never tires of waiting on his beloved wandering sheep. We do, but He doesn't, so let's band together, believers, and stand in the gap and build up the hedge for not only Terry, but our own family too. Jesus hasn't returned for the Church yet, so there's still time! Hallelujah! Love, joy and faith are my gifts that I'm asking God to bestow upon the Macalmons, for this could be my life. But for the grace of God, there go I.......
A child who serves Christ and lives to please Him and love others like He does - not judge others......

Hi Terry,
We use you music all the time in worship... up until today I did not know of your troubles. I watched an interview with Bill Clinton last night, and he was asked the question about his exposed unfiathfulnesss in marriage.. He said "Nelson Mandella spoke to him and said these words :- "The world can take everything from you do not give them your mind or your heart. There is only one Jesus who know of your brokenness... He is there always to help. I too know how brokenness can rob you even to within a hair's breath. I will be praying for you..

I am so shocked and sad to hear and read about this news of divorce/separation of Terry and his wife, and this is definitely a very difficult thing to face for both them and the family. As a beliver and follower of Jesus Christ, i believe that Terry can and will stand up and firm with the Truth in the Word of God, that restoration will be done for him and his wife and his whole family.

All through Gods Word talks about great men of God falling.To those who think they are past that,go back and read where it says take heed if you think you stand les ye also fall.I remember a song; Do not shoot the wounded some day you might be one.

May the LORD help us and restore our dear brother, Terry MacAlmon. I am so blessed by the worship the LORD Has enabled him to sing. Please I really need his videos and will be very glad to get them and if possible ALL since he started this ministry of worshiping.
Blessings.

My dear Brother Terry, you must get back to the ministry no later than now now. Your ministry made a lot of change in my life and in my own ministry. David was there before, God forgave him and called him 'the man after His Heart'. Why don't you want to forgive yourself? God has already forgiven you on the cross. the Bible says in Romans chapter 8: 'NOTHING (that means anything, even sin) CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD', Also in Romans 11:29 'UNDER THIS NEW COVENANT, GOD DOES NOT TAKE AWAY HIS CALLING AND HIS GIFTS' you are still anointed. people are suffering when a minister steps down. Get up my brother.

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
I know and live one thing. Gods love and mercy and faithfulness are so great!! He is a wonderful restorer and healer of hearts and I know that a bruised reed He does not break. Isn't it wonderful that we are justified by faith and trust in Him. If your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart and He knows all things.
Your music has kept me alive in Him these last five years. Let Him love you Terry and heal the broken places of the heart.
