1. In deference to the elders of Trinity Bible Church of Dallas, I removed the comments I posted this morning regarding the Steve Lawson scandal. Those elders shepherd the local church Lawson belonged to, so their pastoral duty takes precedence over mine.
2. These are godly men, committed to the truth of Scripture, and I'm fully confident they will do the right thing. They have every right to set their own pace.
3. If anyone thought I was being critical of Trinity's elders, please forgive me for allowing such an ambiguity. My trust and respect for them could not be higher.
4. I do not envy the difficult position one man's spiritual failure has put them in, and I have no intention of second-guessing how they shepherd their flock, especially via social media.
5. For those who think they still have legitimate questions about the matter and how it is being handled, please address your questions to Trinity's elders, or (better yet) to Steve Lawson directly.
6. And please bear in mind that what Christ has done and is doing in building that church is infinitely more important than any scandal that would seek to tear it asunder.
