As followers of Christ and workers in His kingdom we all have a job to do.  A lot of us are more behind the scenes but what we do is as vital to the Kingdom as those in the forefront of ministries.  There are so many “superstars” in the body of Christ in this country that everyone knows of at least one.

We have also all heard of at least one that has fallen due to some sin issue or other.  Many have been ministering for long periods of time while secretly living lives that very likely grieved the Holy Spirit within them.  There was even some evidence of fruit while many of them were leading these double lives.

My question today has to do with this fruit.

If a person is blatantly, but secretly, living a double life, such as preaching while having an affair, or evangelizing while partying and drinking, or beating their wife while pastoring a church, etc., are they really able to do the work of the Kingdom?  Are they bearing any good fruit?

Basically, do you think a person can live knowingly in sin and the Holy Spirit work through them?

Let me know what you think.

Love you all
