Ted/Gail Haggard CUP KKIM/DDC

Dear KKIM/KARS Family,

May the Strength, Peace and Wisdom of our Lord be with you and yours forever and ever.

Wow! The majestic sunrise over the Sandia's here in Albuquerque is God's way of saying Good morning!

The wonders of our Lord!

Does the National Football League, CBS TV, and other Worldly organizations forgive better than the Church? Once upon a time, Ted Haggard had it all....family, a ministry that reached out to some 30 million followers who hung on his every word, whether on TV or in person.

But in 2006, it all fell apart when Pastor Ted admitted to "sexual immorality"----and to buying methamphetamines. he was exiled from the Church he built and the state where he lived!

Yes kicked out of the Church and where he lived!

Read on..........

The Lord bless you and keep you;

The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7

With that here is a report from Pastor Mark Tross on our newsmaker of the Day last night on NM News and Views, Ted Haggard.......

Pastors Alan & Gail Hawkins of New Life City Church http://newlifecity.org, right here in ABQ, once again have brought Pastor Ted Haggard and his wife Gail to speak at their Church this weekend, so Ted was on with us and hopefully Dewey was able to make this evening's meeting, so we can have a follow-up report tomorrow on NM News & Views. Check out their website listed above for all of the details, but the topic is 'How to keep things together when you're falling apart' and of course, Ted is speaking from personal experiences, from his fall from grace (not really, but that's usually what you hear about him and not the Redemption Power of Jesus being played out in his LIFE) three years ago. He said, "Make Life work well, even when it's happening to you." His wife, Gail, authored a book, 'Why I Stayed,' which speaks all about their recovery 'process.' "It's on the bad days you have to make the decisions," Ted remarked and there's no disputing that. He and his wife will also be teaching Friday at 10am & 7pm and Saturday morning at 10, but there will be questions and answer periods as well. Ted says, "Don't take yourself too seriously, humble yourself in the sighte of The Lord and he Will Lift You Up!" After mentioning another book, 'Repenting From Religion,' Ted let us know that the PGA, CBS and others in the world do a better job of forgiving and restoring than The Church, which is sad, but true, so we have some work to do.

Thank you Pastor Mark, I was not able to stay for Ted and Gail's presentation but I had a very nice talk with both of them last night along with Pastor Alan and Gail Hawkins. Lord Willing tonight at 4:30 we will have Gail with us.

Let me share with you a writing from Gail in her book, "Why I Stayed".......

I am married to a flawed man------a man as flawed as any other. Why should anyone be surprised? In our Christian world, we teach and believe the truths of the Scriptures and hope they will transform us, hope that goodness will grow in us and get rid of all the badness. But for some, for many, the realization of that hope in this lifetime seems forever distant. Occasionally it is brought near them, but then escapes them as they fall short of goodness yet one more time. Why Lord?
Ted has sought you with all his heart. Through pain, he has tried to press through-----through fasting and prayer and resistance to his sin----yet, many times he has failed. That which he hopes for has eluded him.
Although disheartened, he has not given up. He tries again and again. Makes improvements and hopes it will work; that it will last this time.

The writings of Gail Haggard as her husband Ted was going through his struggles. How many people do we have in our lives that have gone through or are going through similar struggles? Maybe you are like me and Sharon and Pastor Mark, the three of us have had our struggles in our lives.

Lord Willing Gail will be with us tonight on NM News and Views at 4:30.

God forgives..........and we don't at times? Who are we?

Let us pray..........

Lord, Let us be Christ like in all we do......in all we do..........let us not pick and chose.......Let us abide by Your Word. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
