I am not familiar with Blaine Bartel - his activities have been covered in another FFF thread but his name did not stick in my mind. He doesn't appear to be worthy of anyone's worship:
Restored: Blaine Bartel Joins Gregory Dickow’s Ministry Team — Charisma News
"Less than two years after he resigned as pastor of Northstar Church in Dallas over an extramarital affair, Blaine Bartel has joined the ministry team at Gregory Dickow’s Life Changers International Church in Chicago. . . . Bartel stepped down from the 600-member Northstar Church on March 31, 2010, saying he had been unfaithful to his marriage vows. Bartel and his wife, Cathy, have been married for about 30 years. Bartel was not available for comment by press time."
It sure didn't take very long for this adulterous fallen preacher to be recycled back into the ministry, did it? (Blaine is not in Chicago any more. He went from there to Tulsa, Oklahoma where a church put him on the staff, and now he is in the Kansas City area running a ministry to porno addicts and calling himself "America's Comeback Coach)." Personally, I would like to see all of us stop worshipping and idolizing any mere mortals, whether they be adulterers like Blaine Bartel, comedians like Larry Brown, or any other entity who is not a person of the Holy Trinity - but that's just me.
