Tullian being forgiven by God is desired by all Christians. I love and believe 1 John 1:9. However, sadly, he is no longer above reproach. He is disqualified from being a pastor. If he can longer be a qualified shepherd to the church of God, how is it some believe he can have a public ministry to the church? Tullian betrayed his wife, his family, his church, and his ministry. Are there really Christians who value giftedness over faithfulness and personal godliness? He removed himself from the authority of his church and, by any reasonable consideration, has returned to the public eye way to soon. Is he a member of any church? Has he had time to lay a foundation for his new marriage? Please, those of you that believe Tullian can still be in ministry surely agree he has returned too soon. If you truly care for him you should be encouraging him to be patient and wait for trustworthy voices to validate his restoration.

Everyone needs The Grace message and Tulian is in just as much need as the rest of us. Praise the Lord, Jesus died for my hot mess sin just like Tulian's!

His preaching has changed my life like no other. His books are such a treasure. He is anointed of God. I don't need a "perfect" minister. I need someone that can relate to my brokenness and help me overcome it. Tullian is a man after God's heart, like King David. Let's not discard him. He's way too valuable.

If Tullian's message was So important why is not the God given biblical standard for his authoritative position important too? If you are so hung up on him as a teacher you are not following Christ but Tullian? I believe that Billy graham was at one time concerned that God might remove him from ministry because he saw that his popularity was becoming more than the God/ gospel he was preaching (don't have a source other than my grandfather) tullian is not the only good preacher out there.
Yes we all sin and can and should be forgiven but that is not the issue here God's standard is very clear and is obviously higher for those in church leadership roles. If we are faithful brothers and sisters in the Lord or best loving help to Tullian would be to hold him and ourselves to that standard and to embrace his family with all the love and support they need to repent and repair their lives and walk with the lord not to seek to have our own needs filled ( I like his teaching, his book helped me, etc) by discarding biblical truth! IMO, If Tullian desires to return to the pulpit he needs to re establish his qualifications ( family first)right from the start which may take many years! ( not a la mark Driscoll)
In all likelyhood Tullian's work pastoring a large well established church like coral ridge was a factor in his and his wife's martial problems again it would be a selfish thing on our part to put him back there! Use this sad event to become a more mature Christian and look to the bible first and other more reputable men for guidance in your walk with the Lord, and don't forget to pray for Tullian and his family!!!!!!

Titus 1:6
if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.
1 Timothy 3:2
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
Tullian is not qualified for the ministry. Take the WHOLE Bible as God's Word.

God's grace is wide enough to cover the sins of one person, even if he is the Pastor. Tullian feels the weight of his sin right now, and he feels the same way we all do daily. His empathetic preaching touched everybody who listened openly, and we could really use his words right now, as he goes through this, because as he goes through this pitiful, empty space of horizontal consequence, he goes through the same thing us listeners go through and come to him for freedom from.
Bring back Tullian, for the his message is too great to throw away.

I pray Tullian is led to land where God sees fit. I'm so thankful for his faithful, authentic delivery of the Gospel through every medium he's used thus far in his life. His story isn't over...Peace & healing to all involved and affected.

Tullian and his family need rest and restoration right now and I am praying for them, but when he is ready for public speaking again I will be listening. I know God used his sermons and writings as a powerful tool to save my life and release me from the cage of legalism and I will never forget that and am forever grateful.

Tullian preached the Gospel...not do this or don't do this in order for God to love and forgive. He preached from brokenness and that's what this world is longing so badly for. I can't imagine all those God will grab through Tullian's situation. We need him to preach through it. Bring him back!!!

I've been attending Coral Ridge Presybterian Church for over a year. He taught me more than just grace. He taught me the gospel! I've never view him as a celebrity pastor I've just view him someone as a pastor who is also broken sinner that's needs grace just like me.
