there is life after failure with God. God is a God of restoration and even in the silence He is speaking. Don't be quick to judge, wife, minister, friend, children, lest you fall into the same temptation. I know this from experience. Love unconditionally with God's love and forgiveness and do not blame. Only God knows the heart. My prayers are with all of you Terry, your wife, your children. May God in His love and time restore and heal you all. He is more than able. He is still my favorite worship song leader. His songs bring me into the very presence of God. God isn't through with him. Forgive from God's heart.

Life happens when you're on the way to the Father.
Fortunately, it is not the "end" of the way, but only a piece of the road. When God has anointed a person as He has with Terry, the anointing does not go away, although it may get "interrupted". I pray that whatever needs to be fixed, will be fixed. Whatever needs to be healed, will be healed, and whatever
needs to be spiritually discovered will be discovered.
We want you back Terry. Back to the work of enabling the Body of Christ to worship the only One and True God. We have seen Christ through your eyes, and have been led forth to shower our God with praise and adoration through your gift of music.
I respect your decision to step back....it is a good and right thing to do. But I also pray that in time, your gift will once again be in that place that God intended it to be. And that you, yourself, will be at a place of peace and harmony with all the saints. And to Greta..
peace be upon you during these most difficult hours.
My prayers will continue for you as you work out this very difficult and hurtful time in your life. No one can truly understand or appreciate how very difficult this must be.........but we try.

Dear Terry and Greta
Get back together and be reunited.
Anything else is a defeat, a deliberate defeat, and will hang over you and many more people for the rest of your life.
But that, by contrast, would be a glorious victory. And steeped in the power of Christian forgiveness.
Do it, and do it today. God bless you.

Terry, I still think about you and pray for your recovery. This just shows how vulnerable we all are in this world. God is still in control and still more than able to heal and especially forgive. I think about the scripture that tells us His grace is sufficient...and something good will come from this, no matter what we are feeling today.
Praying for total restoration.

Dear Terry, This is not an unforgivable sin, your worship ministry is so inspiring and able to elevate a person into a full state of worship that to lose your talent and calling in this way, it is like saying to the enemy, "I Give Up". Don't do it. Jesus went to the cross for you in this, His Grace and Mercy are sufficient for you. In the words of the old song; "Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again". I hate to use a worldly lyric for this purpose but I think it fits this situation so well. I know you will do all that you are able to do to reconcile yourself with your wife and I pray that you will both succeed. Take back the land for Jesus sake. I guess you were not aware that you would be such a prominent target for the enemy, he's used you brother, but with Jesus' help and deliverance your soul shall be renewed. We love you brother we don't judge you lest we be judged by the measure we use but we trust God for you and your family. Reconciliation is a gift from God. Grasp it with both hands.

Terry,

I have spent many hours worshipping the Lord with you and was deeply wounded when I heard the news.
Without fail, each time I play your worship music, I pray the Lord will bring you to deep repentance and restoration.
I also pray for the wounds your family has experienced to be completely healed by the Lord's hand on them. Then I include all close associates and those throughout the world who have been wounded as well.
Surely you know that if you confess your sin, He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE your sin and CLEANSE YOU FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. I pray this will happen soon and the PEACE of God that passes ALL
UNDERSTANDING WILL GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND in CHRIST JESUS.
