Our response to situations like this should be one of confession and humility. We should confess our sins, our respectable sins and our secret sins. We should also recognize that we are just as susceptible to disqualifying sin as pastor x and pursue accountability structures and relationships. No magic bullets. Be killing sin or sin will be killing you.
