And Great Was Its Fall
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies. Psalm 54:4-7
Christendom is full of half truths that sound nice but in reality are lies. Case in point is that there are those who advocate that prosperity comes from reading and studying the bible and praying nice things for your enemies. But the Word of God teachers that prosperity comes from listening to and obeying the voice of the Lord and heeding the voice of His prophets including Jesus Christ the chief prophet. The bible records for our profit and instruction:
Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done. He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan. He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him. For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses. The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. He subdued the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city. 2 Kings 18:1-8

He held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses. So the LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went including give him victory over His enemies. He was a doer of the word not a hearer or reader only just like Jesus talked about:
"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." Matthew 7:24-27
You can be prosperous by stealing money and it has nothing to do with God. Many pastors and preacher become rich off the tithes of God’s people and God had nothing to do with it. Yet God’s word is unchanging:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD to the shepherds: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? "You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. "The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them. "So they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. "My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them." Ezekiel 34:1-6
Success and prosperity in the ministry are not measured by the theology of the church, the amount of money the pastor makes, whether the church building is debt free or the size of a congregation but rather if the sheep are fed, healed, delivered and cared for! God’s word is unchanging:
Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:21-27
It's a fact that Christianity Today founded by Billy Graham did not report immediately on one of its own pastors Ollin Collins, Senior Pastor of Harvest Baptist Church in Fort Worth, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's board chairman. A man who resigned amid sexual misconducts allegations when he was accused of having sexual relationships with two women who sought counseling.
But it did report about the adultery of a black man and a National Baptist but not about the adultery of a white man and Southern Baptist. An adultery that was more hideous and gross because Collins raped unsuspecting trusting women, while Lyons adulterous relationships were consensual. It has been said that Lyons will go down in the history books as "Hugh Hefner of the New Testament." http://headlines.yahoo.com/Full_Coverage/US/Henry_Lyons
Now concerning the fallen hero, the church had suspended Pastor Collins with pay pending an investigation. He resigned from his board position one day after a story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the women's allegations and their intent to sue. Southwestern is the world's largest evangelical seminary, with 3,000 students on eight campuses.
Jim Jones religion editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the Rev. Ollin Collins, pastor of the 2,000-member Harvest Baptist Church in Watauga, was accused of having sexual affairs with two of Collins' female church members. “Collins is being sued by two female church members who claim they had sexual relationships with him during counseling sessions. Collins resigned as chairman of the trustees after the accusations became public.”
While Tara Dooley Star-Telegram Staff Writer reported “Last month, three women and the husband of a fourth sued Harvest Baptist Church in Watauga and pastor Ollin Collins. They contend that Collins has harmed them and their families "by engaging in predatory sexual conduct," according to the lawsuits.
The lawsuits also contend that the church covered up Collins' actions. In interviews, two of the women said they did not approach church leaders with their complaints because of concerns that leaders would not take action. Collins has been suspended from his duties with pay, pending an investigation, church officials say. Critics say that church leaders and congregants often rush to the defense of a pastor and sometimes hush complaints.
While the Baptist Standard reported Suits against Collins dropped. Sexual misconduct lawsuits against Harvest Baptist Church of Watauga and the church's former pastor have been dropped by the five women who accused Ollin Collins of abusing his position as a pastor and counselor.
In an April 21 story, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram cited court documents to report the suits were dropped after Collins admitted that he "engaged in an adulterous relationship" with three of the women. All five women retained the right to sue Collins again, said their attorney, John Holland. "We had asked him to apologize to the church and agree not to be in the pulpit until September of 2000, and he refuses to do that," Holland said. Collins, who was fired from the Watauga pastorate, also resigned as chairman of the trustee board at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary amid the scandal.
Again it’s doers of the word and not talkers or hearers only who are blessed by God. True love is not demonstrated by words but by deeds. God so loved the world that He gave His son. Jesus loved the sheep He laid down His life for them. He didn’t take the life of the sheep. Those who are called by God’s name ought to lay down their lives for the brethren. God’s word is unchanging:
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:14-18
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:7-10
