"Winners are people who do not quit. When you stay down you're letting the devil win. Get up, don't stay down. Get up and put him down. Keep him down!" He's just a liar, Terry. Think right--remember who you are in Christ and be loved. Jesus didn't die a torturous death for our redemption so we could smother in condo bondo. Rise up...
"Now rise up and let Me love you, Let me wrap My love around you, You're My love and I adore you, Rise! Get yourself back in the Spirit, Speak My Word so you can hear it, So you and heaven, earth and hell with realize, That you'll never be defeated 'cause you're God's own DNA, You're the offspring of the Highest, satan can't take that away, And I've never lost a battle and I'm not about to start, So get your mind back on My thoughts for you and your heart back in My heart..."
The Spirit and the Bride say "Come". Love from Dad and the family!

IF we confess , he's faithful to forgive , Go and sin no more.

All I can say is that you are in my prayers.
I believe that your resignation will not take you out of your Father's home like the prodigal son.
The fact you have recognized that you had sinned, Our father, your father in heaven is also ready to forgive.
May Peace the Peace of CHRIST be always With You.
Peace & Love

hmmm...what more can the devil do ? That is his ministry, he is a deceiver . The only mistake you should not make is to be proud not to ask for God's mercies, forgiveness and restoration. He is willing to forgive and restore. Remember that self pity and denial is not the case now. Its a battle and the weapon of our walfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Please put the devil to shame by rising again by the arms of the almighty. God is willing and waiting.
You dont want the devil to spoil it all and rejoice ...remember the salvation of your family and some in the faith is tied to this. Come on brother there is more ground to gain.

Terry,
Now is the time for you to return to ministry - - the world needs you!
As one who has fallen in the same area, I can tell you with confidence that God is able to clean you up & set you on the right path. God has healed me of lust - - truly a miracle! That same miracle is available to you! Submit to God and the enemy must flee!
You have many more years of God-inspired creativity ahead of you. Come home to the Father's heart!
In Christ,
Tami

Terry,
My soul aches for you and your family, and my prayers are with you.
It's 2 o'clock at night. I could not sleep. The Lord brought you to my mind and prompted me to go to the computer to understand why you have left the ministry. Now I know.
We serve a compassionate, merciful and forgiving God.
Come back and serve Him again. Your ministry has been a blessing to me, my husband and my prayer group.

Brother Terry,as you are leading the redeemed in worship,expressing gratitude to Our Father,may be when He quiets us with His love and rejoices over us with singing. Zeph.3:16,17.
Why worshiping God is so profound? I think, it starts with God's dream for man,all thru the Bible: I will be their God and they shall be my people,a special treasure to me above all people,I will dwell among the children of Israel. I(Wisdom)was
beside Him as a master craftsman;And I was daily His delight,...And My delight was with the sons of man Prov.8:30,31....But of Him.....Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God...1 Cor.1;30.Jesus is very involved,since creation: ...without Him nothing was made that was made.-John 1:3. After the fall,God could send an angel,but Jesus decided rather die than live without them(sons of man). You have seen what I did to the Egiptians,and how I bore you.....and brought you to Myself-Exod 19:4.First generation died,but God has relentless love....I will put My law in their minds,and write it on their hearts...Jer.31:31-33.Jesus is in process of preparing His bride:...nourishes and cherishes it,...Eph.5:26-29.Fulfillment of God's dream-Rev.21:2-7 He who overcomes...I will be his God and he shall be My SON. Love- the action:..who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God-Hebrew 12:2. If Jesus did not quit on the cross,He will never give up on us...Brotherly love, Lidia

My pastor recently gave me one of your CD's. It is perhaps the most touching music I have ever heard. I don't know the details of your recent issues but you need to know this that we need you. I hope you know that the forgiveness of the Lord is the most powerful thing in this world. Don't think that there is some magical thing you can do to make this better. Put it in the Lord's hands and get back to that piano. I pray for the healing of your family whether you stay or get divorced.

Brother Terry we are only human and God knows our shortfalls(iniquities).Tell me what sin is bigger,a lie or extramarital affair.In God's eyes both are sin.Acknowledge you wrong to God like king David did and humble your self before Him once more.He will embrace you again.I am not trying to deny or cover up the sin but saying seek God for His mercy.He will definitle honour your prayers.May the hand of God be upon your family in this difficult period.Your family is very important to God as well.Reconcile in everyway and let God be God the Healer.

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
This is shocking news. I pray God will restore you as you have such a great gift of leading people into worshipping. This is so evident because of all the comments.
