It seems that preachers have been in the news of late, and not for good reasons.

The latest is the Rev. Marcus Lamb, a prominent televangelist and founder of the DayStar Television Network, which airs some of the highest-profile evangelists in the world, including Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and Joyce Meyers.

During a live, one-hour broadcast, Lamb recently copped to having had an extramarital affair. With wife by his side, he said he went public because someone with knowledge of the affair was demanding $7.5 million in hush money.

"They're trying to take our pain and turn it to their gain," said told his audience "We're not going to take God's money to keep from being humiliated."

QUESTION: Preachers are human, just like the rest of us. Does personal failure mean they should automatically step down? Could you attend a church where the pastor has confessed to moral indiscretions?
