And here's the problem.

We live in a world where it's fast paced.

Like scroll, scroll, scroll, shorts, TikTok, and all the rest.

And everyone wants to be first.

But you know what?

Wisdom is not necessarily trying to be first.

Wisdom is trying to be right.

Many of you guys know that sadly,

Steve Lawson was disqualified from pastoral and Christian ministry due to issues of infidelity and unfaithfulness to his wife.

And so we're not going to go into all those details now.

But this is something that is rather recent in our history.

And after Steve Lawson essentially was caught, he came out with a letter of repentance and pleading for forgiveness,

confession of sin, and he essentially disappeared from the public view.

However, last week, Protestia said, Steve Lawson has returned and will be speaking at a Christian conference.

And there's a picture of the conference webpage, Meet the Speakers, Lawson's picture is there.

So Protestia posts this.

This went wild.

Many people were talking about this.

And then Protestia had to come out with Steve Lawson not speaking at upcoming preaching conference,

exclusive regarding Steve Lawson we can confirm that the conference organizers advertised Lawson's participation without his knowledge or consent.

They invited him to be a speaker, but before hearing that he intended to decline, there was an internal misunderstanding that he would agree.

As soon as he found out about it, he informed them of his declining the offer and they promptly removed him from the lineup.

All right, so here's what happened.

Protestia posts this, that he's speaking at a conference, everybody just started sharing this and vilifying Lawson,

just dragging him, just dragging him.

And what actually was true was that Lawson had not agreed to be in the conference,

but the people who were organizing the conference had put him up assuming he would come, but he wasn't coming.

Protestia shared this.

And apparently Protestia, when they shared it, had not actually contacted the conference itself to ask the question,

the simple question, is it true that Steve Lawson is speaking at your conference and he has confirmed?

It's as simple as that.

Simple phone call, simple email before it's shared.

Is this true that he's going to be there because it's a big deal.

Look, okay.

Steve Lawson is disqualified for ministry.

Then you see him pop up in a conference website.

Okay.

That's crazy.

But shouldn't we do the checks and balances first to make sure that we have integrity, journalistic integrity, which would just be basic Christian integrity,

that what I'm about to share with everybody is actually the truth.

It was unfortunate because man, were people, did you see some of the stuff no i was on my sabbatical

and i did not see any of it dragging him i

mean you just said the reform world we love to eat our own for sure oh yeah um

and every you know there's every category of christianity does but man the reformed world loves to eat our own

and um and you just saw in all the reform pages

and everything else just dragging lawson i mean he just got vilified for at least 24 hours i think

and even men that we love and respect like Justin Peters.

Like, you know, he saw what Protestia did.

He immediately posted on it.

He had things to say.

Since then, after Justin Peters learned that it was an error, Justin Peters scrubbed his page of that.

And then he gave an explanation on his X account as to why he posted what he did.

And he said here, I've taken down my post about Steve Lawson speaking at the Contending for the Faith Conference.

Protestia's reporting of Steve being listed as a speaker being the result of an internal misunderstanding

that led him to assume he would agree is still puzzling to me.

So then Justin, who we love, we love Justin, deep love, low respect for him.

Then he goes on to explain, you know, the understandable, like he saw the post.

The assumption is, is that this is actually true.

It's actually happening.

It seemed real.

But then Justin goes on to apologize later for, you know, sharing something that wasn't true.

But see, here's the problem.

So many people did.

So many people just shared something that wasn't in fact true.

And Lawson got dragged for something that he didn't even do.

And here's the problem.

We live in a world where it's fast paced, like scroll, scroll, scroll, shorts, TikTok, and all the rest.

And everyone wants to be first.

But you know what?

Wisdom is not necessarily trying to be first.

Wisdom is trying to be right.

Wisdom is trying to be righteous and godly, not first.

And everyone today wants to just be first.

Oh, look, I saw it.

Share it.

Before you've done your checks and balances.

You hear a story about pastors or somebody else and you just go, oh my goodness, share.

right?

I mean, we've been, we've been on the butt end of that many, many times where somebody will make a claim,

they'll say something, they'll do a message on it or a program on it, or they'll write an article about it and they'll share it and we'll see it and we'll go, where in the world?

This guy, this is false.

This is complete fiction.

I've even had people write things about me and I've contacted them.

What you're saying is not true.

It's provably not true.

I can share the witnesses to you.

This is, this never happened.

You are lying about us.

You're lying about our ministry.

You're lying about me.

And they didn't care.

They just shared it anyway, because it just shares too dang good.

And, um, and those, that's, that's the really just over the top example of how people will do this in this day and age, but everyone just wants to be first rather than being wise.

There's a reason why tabloids and TMZ and stuff like

that have existed all these years and done well

because sinful hearts just really want to just participate in

that kind of garbage and right sadly it's a problem within the church

and social media has made that so accessible

and um it's just gross it is and it's gross

100

and jesus said on the last day people are going to

101

be held to account for every idle word every idle word and that i think counts

102

especially of course to social media and the things

103

that you type with your little fingers

104

and then i type with my little fingers big fingers in my case big fingers in your case for sure

105

there was there's a pastor

106

that i know jerry doris i just shared what he said

107

about this i saw what he said was good i just shared what jerry said about this

108

and i'm gonna i'm gonna share it with you right now

109

because i thought this was perfect jerry did a fine job with this He said this, Here's how you publicly repent for piling on Steve Lawson.

110

I deleted my post about Steve Lawson.

111

I failed to believe the best of him, 1 Corinthians 13, 7, and spread information I had not verified, Proverbs 18, 13.

112

That's a book of wisdom, by the way.

113

I sinned against him and against God by hearing only one side, Proverbs 18, 17, and being too quick to speak, James 1, 19.

114

Because my sin was public, my confession must also be public.

115

Proverbs 28, 13.

116

Please forgive me.

117

Luke 17, 3 through 4.

118

He said, feel free to copy and paste.

119

Good on you, Jerry.

120

Look what Steve Lawson did.

121

It's heartbreaking, discouraging, painful, without question.

122

But the man put out public confession of sin and his repentance.

123

He says he's trying to get his life back together right now and trying to restore his marriage with his wife.

124

Okay.

125

What if your sin and sanctification was public?

126

How would you feel?

127

Would you want people to be merciful to you and gracious to you?

128

You were trying to trust in God, that God who actually forgives me for my heinous sins in life.

129

Wouldn't you want people to say, we're going to believe best about you, that God is doing something in you?

130

I mean, we're all wretches.

131

Not one of us is beyond face plants and sinning and falling short.

132

Okay, so what he did is a blight upon the Christian church.

133

Amen.

134

Agreed.

135

Completely.

136

But he wasn't stubborn about it and obstinate.

137

He was saying, you're right.

138

I'm sinful.

139

God, forgive me.

140

Please pray for me.

141

Please pray for me that God restores all this that I destroyed.

142

Please pray.

143

Okay.

144

Praise the Lord.

145

Thank you, God for your mercy.

146

Thank you, God.

147

We all need that mercy.

148

But most of our sins are not, and sanctification is not public like his.

149

Okay.

150

So we can't feel the weight of that, many of us.

151

And then just to get dragged, dragged by people who never even picked up the phone or sent an email to the conference to say,

152

is that true?

153

Is he really speaking at your conference?

154

because I would respect the person who published something that said, no, I talked to the conference.

155

I've got the record.

156

I talked to them.

157

They confirmed he's coming.

158

That's not your fault.

159

You shared something with confirmation.

160

You didn't just listen to one side.

161

You checked it out.

162

You did all your checks and balances.

163

The scripture calls you to do.

164

Okay, fine.

165

You shared it.

166

Maybe it was turned out to be error later, but you did your homework and you did what you're supposed to do.

167

You were wise.

168

In this case, you didn't do it.

169

People didn't do it.

170

That's the difference between real journalism and TMZ.

171

Yes.

172

Just do what wisdom calls you to do.

173

If you're going to share a story about somebody that's going to have them slandered and vilified, you have to make sure that you've checked the witnesses and the evidence.

174

Nobody would want this done to themselves, and that's the point.

175

What is Jesus' standard?

176

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

177

Would you want or would I want somebody sharing a story about us publicly

178

and he gets legs on it without checking with us first

179

or checking to see if it was actually true to begin with?

180

it sucks.

181

It does.

182

We've been in ministry for a long time, long time, many years of ministry.

183

And I can't tell you at this point how many articles

184

and videos and things have been shared about us and yours truly that we look at and go complete fiction, false.

185

God help them.

186

God help them.

187

It hurts.

188

It hurts really bad.

189

And nobody would want that done to themselves.

190

And so we shouldn't do it to Steve Lawson or anybody else.

191

There's a book in the Bible that tells you exactly how to manage these things.

192

And we'd be all better off by following it.

193

And so my prayer is for Steve Lawson, restoration, redemption of this whole situation for his family.

194

I know it hurts.

195

I know painful, but God saves sinners, not the righteous.

196

And some of our greatest heroes in scripture had catastrophic collapses of their lives and God restored and redeemed them.

197

And that's what I want for him.

198

Jerry said it right.

199

Thank you for that, Jerry.

200

If you see this man, that was excellent.

201

This episode is brought to you by Ion Layer at ionlayer .com.

202

Go and check out the health benefits, the wellness benefits, and longevity benefits of NAD treatments.

203

NAD is nicknamed the fountain of youth for a reason.

204

You have an abundance of this in your system when you're young.

205

As you get older, it drops off, and now we've found a way to get NAD into our systems.

206

They do it through IV treatments, but they're very expensive, and it's also extremely painful and difficult.

207

However, Ion Layer found a way to get a high dose of

208

NAD into your system through a medical patch you wear on your arm.

209

You wear it for about 14 hours.

210

You get a high dose of NAD treatment into your system and no pain at all.

211

And it is a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for an IV treatment.

212

In the coupon code, type in APOLOGIA in all caps.

213

They're going to hook you up with a great discount for an already amazingly cost -effective product.

214

And they bless Apologia Studios and help us to stay on the air and do all these programs with you.

215

216

Glutathione, the master antioxidant.

217

Go check out the health benefits of glutathione.

218

I'm doing this stuff anyways.

219

It's blessed my life in tremendous ways.

220

And so if you want to focus on your health, wellness, and longevity, nothing better in my mind than IonLayer .com for your NAD and glutathione treatments.

IonLayer .com.

222

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
