Should Pastors Step Down While Awaiting Clearance from Scandal?

It takes pride, not faith, for a minister to stay on the pulpit while under serious allegations. True humility means admitting mistakes, repenting, and seeking restoration before returning to public ministry. We’ve all seen church founders accused of immorality preach to packed congregations the very next day. Some even brand those who question them as persecutors and lash out in anger. A genuine servant of God should value correction over loyalty from blind followers. Stepping aside to be corrected reflects obedience to scripture, not weakness. No one is above divine justice. Submission and restoration are vital steps for any leader who truly seeks to serve God.
