Todd’s Remarriage

So by now I’m sure many are familiar with the weekly video updates Rick Joyner is doing on Todd Bentley’s restoration process.  There has been a real blitz the last two weeks, including some stuff with Bill Johnson in it, etc.  The issue I was most intrigued by was Todd’s quick remarriage.  In “Frequently Asked Questions, Part I”, Rick specifically addresses that.  He mentions that his number one value is Galatians 6:1, that we should restore one who has fallen in to sin gently.  He even takes some responsibilty for Todd remarrying.  Apparently Todd came to Rick and asked what he should do and Rick told him go ahead.  Rick also said he didn’t agree with divorce or quick remarriage, yet this is what has happened.  I guess that  is one I’ll always be disappointed in, that he remarried so quickly.  What if, after a while, Shonnah had a change of heart?  What if their family could be restored, say, in a year?  Now, with Todd remarried, there is no potential at all.  I know he is committed to his kids and all, but still.  Whatever I think, what is done is done.  Now I get to wrestle with my attitude toward Todd on this issue as a brother.  My issue, not his.  Am I going to let a bad, judgmental attitude enter my heart toward him, or not?  That’s a question for us all, really.
