This comment was also a good word. I love how you talked about a clear and stunning portrait of Jesus as the great motivation.

So good!

Also Mike as always a wordsmith but also the way you put your ideas together, riveting to follow a strain of thought like you always do.

I attend Willow Creek Community Church and have for about 25 years. I believe there are many unanswered questions and no proof presented yet to the congregation on the scandal of Bill Hybels. I haven’t spoken with the women but have a lot of unanswered questions like why did you continue to stay at the church?why didn’t your husbands step in to protect you? Bill very well could be guilty of all the accusations but I guess I am a women in the minority. Give us proof. Maybe that is yet to come when the investigation is complete.

What I haven’t heard anyone speak about is did we the church pray for our pastor enough? I am sure he was a huge target for Satan. We all have sins in our live almost daily and I am sure the devil had a much larger target on Bill Hybels back. What I can emphatically say about Bill is I believe he loves God, has a heart for God, was a fantastic teacher to our church. Do I find it to all be hypocritical if it were true, no because we all our sinners. My son and husband were baptized at Willow and many people have come to faith through his ability to simply preach the Word of God and be able to reach people on a very simple level. If he is guilty of all charges, yes it has done a lot of harm to the church but God’s church will prevail. I am looking forward to the investigation completed and hopefully we can get some facts. I experience some unwanted gestures in the workplace myself so I am not without sympathy. I have a problem with the way the women handled this.

Sir, you are flying upside down in this world and the words of Jesus could direct you towards a way of discipline you desperately need. Matt. 6:22 “Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. 23 If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!
