"This morning we are seeing reports of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich admitting to having a sexual dalliance at the same time that President Bill Clinton’s sexual dalliance with an intern was dominating the national headlines.
Mr. Gingrich admitted to the affair in a two-part interview with Dr. James Dobson, during a “Focus on the Family” broadcast.
I was pleased to hear Mr. Gingrich state: “I’ve gotten on my knees and sought God’s forgiveness.”[Gingrich made no mention of his other adulterous affairs, does only the latest one count?]
He has admitted his moral shortcomings to me, as well, in private conversations. And he has also told me that he has, in recent years, come to grips with his personal failures and sought God’s forgiveness.[Gingrich is a serial adulterer. Did he admit that?]
I have been very impressed with the spiritual maturity of this man and am convinced that he has been honest and forthright in clarifying his past failings and his quest, as a Christian, for God’s forgiveness. [Gingrich claims to be a Southern Baptist, yet he has no testimony of being born again and he attends Catholic Mass with his 3rd wife.]
Mr. Gingrich, now 63 and a grandfather[By the two daughters that he refused to pay child support on], openly discussed his two divorces with Dr. Dobson, including the affair that took place during the Clinton impeachment proceedings. It is a “very painful topic and I confess that to you directly,” he stated.
As a pastor with more than a half-century of experience of working with fallible people, I have ministered to a few men who have experienced moral collapse. I have usually been able to tell which of these men was genuinely seeking forgiveness for their actions. My sense tells me that Mr. Gingrich is such a man. He is today happily married to wife Callista, and committed to be the husband he should be.[He never sought "forgiveness" until he decided to run for President.And unless he had an affaid with Falwell or Dobson, he is asking the wrong people to forgive him.]
I well remember the challenge we evangelicals faced in 1980 when our candidate, Ronald Reagan, was the first presidential candidate who had gone through a divorce. We wisely made allowance for God’s forgiveness and America was the beneficiary of this historic champion. [This is the worst excuse for an adulterer I have read since the Jim Bakker scandal!]
Consequently, I decided earlier this week to invite Mr. Gingrich to come to Liberty University on May 19 as our graduation speaker. This will be his second commencement speech at Liberty, previously addressing graduates in 1991.
In recent years, Mr. Gingrich has dedicated much of his time to calling America back to our Christian heritage.[Preachers, not lost politicians who don't attend ANY church except a CATHOLIC church are NOT QUALIFIED to call America back to ANY THING, especially something having to do with Jesus Christ!]
His most recent book, “Rediscovering God in America,” is a brilliant essay that highlights the unique and obvious Christian influence that inspired our nation’s dawning. The book takes readers on a tour of Washington, D.C., inspecting many documents, memorials, friezes and writings of presidents and national leaders who clearly put allegiance to Almighty God at the forefront of the nation’s development.[The book is fraught with errors.]
There has been a war on God in our nation in recent years and the effort to rekindle our national commitment to God is urgently needed.[The war on God is coming from compromising preachers and "evangelical leaders" like James Dobson who make excuses for ADULTERERS like Newt Gingrich. Their actions profane that which is holy.]
Mr. Gingrich is certainly one of the brightest men I know in public life today, and he is becoming one of our great ambassadors for reawakening the spirit of our Founders.
In fact, his topic during the May 19 graduation will be, “Rediscovering God in America.” I am already anxious to hear it and am pleased that our young people will hear this modern American statesman." (You can read Falwell's complete loss of credibility here)
