He seems genuinely repentant. The Bible says we should restore him IN LOVE!! I know he is pastoring again. He is a great testimony! He fell flat on his face before the world but God...
Lyons makes an important point that I believe is missing from much of Black Baptist preaching: repentance and faith. There is no such such thing as a repentance-less salvation. I've been critical of Lyon's actions as president of the NBC USA, Inc. I can never sit in judgment on another man's salvation. He publicly testified that he repented from his sins. According to the word of God, he's saved. I treat him as a brother in Christ.
Thickems3, I am not a wretch. You may think yourself to be a wretch but I think very highly of myself. It is called self confidence. You seem to lack that. God is not putting down people. Man does that all the time.
the Bible says that David make it into the city. so he gave a true confession of his actions and wrong. That's all I'm saying I'm a sinner and fall short of the glory of God I'm talking about me, myself, and I. but long as you know the Most High God and come to him since he is just like David is a man after his own heart you can be forgive it made me easy to forgive but not to forget but who am I to judge. open confession in public sounds genuine to me god bless my brothers and sisters. don't miss the mark keep your eye on the Most High.
Soon Rev Lyons will be talking about his $16000.00 dog like Leroy Thompson. These are the same type of preachers who put down people in their pulpits. They have no regards for Gods truth otherwise they would not have done what they did in the first place. They use God's standard to judge you but he won't use it to judge himself. If you goto that church where Lyons preaches you really need to leave.
