About this listen
One of the core requirements for church leadership, as established in 1 Timothy 3:1-5, is that leaders must be above reproach. This is not a suggestion but a divine qualification. If a leader is found guilty of sexual immorality, they no longer meet the biblical requirement to lead. Yet, within the NAR, moral failures among leaders are often minimized or outright ignored. In many cases, high-profile leaders continue to preach, prophesy, and conduct large-scale events, even when their sexual sins have been exposed. Instead of treating such scandals as disqualifications from leadership, the movement often portrays them as personal struggles or even spiritual attacks designed to hinder their ministry. This approach does not align with Scripture, which commands that those who lead the Church must exemplify godliness, not merely claim to have divine anointing while living in sin.
The NAR’s failure to enforce moral accountability has led to a dangerous precedent where sin is tolerated rather than confronted. This is particularly evident in its response to allegations of sexual misconduct among its most visible leaders. While the Bible demands public rebuke for those who persist in sin (1 Timothy 5:19-20), the NAR has often chosen the route of secrecy and damage control. Instead of removing leaders from ministry, they are quietly reassigned, placed on temporary sabbaticals, or given a platform for self-justification. In many cases, their misconduct is framed as a temporary lapse, as if spiritual authority can be separated from personal holiness. The message this sends is clear: as long as a leader continues to draw crowds and generate financial support, their personal failures can be overlooked.
In Titus 1:6-9, Paul emphasizes that church leaders must be blameless, self-controlled, and holy. These are not optional qualities but essential characteristics of those entrusted with the spiritual care of others. However, the NAR has repeatedly demonstrated that it values charisma and influence over character. When sexual misconduct among leaders is exposed, the movement’s first response is often to protect the leader rather than to uphold biblical standards. This is done under the guise of showing grace, but in reality, it is an effort to maintain the influence and financial success of their ministries. The consequence of this is a leadership culture where immorality is tolerated, and victims are often silenced or dismissed as troublemakers attempting to harm “God’s anointed.”
A major issue within the NAR is its reluctance to expose those who persist in sexual immorality must be expelled from the congregation. Yet, within the NAR, known offenders are often given opportunities to justify themselves, downplay their actions, and return to ministry without true repentance or accountability. This refusal to enforce discipline has created an environment where sexual sin is not taken seriously. The movement’s leaders are often quick to condemn sin in the world but are remarkably hesitant to apply the same biblical standards to their own ranks.
