When Authors Go Wrong || What Happened to Robert Morris?

[@AnthonyLouther]

It's very sad when it has to end this way. But as Christians let's continue to pray for them.We are all sinners who have fell short of God's Glory.😯🫢🤦‍♂️😢😢

[@lydiaosuna4532]

What I have seen is not gloating about Robert Morris, but identifying the sin that was hidden because of his decision and actions. It’s not gloating, God is exposing Morris’s sin along with others. It’s called cleaning house not by us, but by God!

[@raybrensike42]

Or is it Satan revealing sins that have been atoned for, in order to ruin the church?

It’s called cleaning house not by us, but by God! Nothing was taken from him, his decisions to commit sins then hide the whole truth, all by himself. He is now paying the consequences for HIS actions.

Thank you for your kind feedback.

[@cheriepearson4657]

Thank you for touching on this. My book includes this church’s impact on my life during my journey of the memoir I’m writing. I wasn’t sure where and if it still belonged in my book. You gave me more to think about.

[@NikaMaples1]

Yes! You don’t have to be afraid to share a positive impact that Gateway had in your life! No one can take away what God has done in you!

[@beaminup]

I am sorry. It seems that you were too close to the man. Robert Morris did not have an effective ministry. He was a false teacher. You can not be a false teacher and effective in the same breath.

[@kathygale3663]

He is not a false teacher. He's a teacher who fell. Just because he sinned doesn't invalidate the truth of God's Word. He preached you needed grace alone, not works. He preached you needed to be saved. That is still true whether he fell or not. It doesn't change the truth he spoke. If I tell you water is wet and then you find out that I lived a sinful life, that doesn't make what I said about water untrue. He fell. He repented but didn't come forward. Probably out of fear. We have no right to judge his heart because we don't know what's in his heart. And neither do you. He is in God's hands. I'm still listening to his preaching and praying for him and his family and friends and church attendees. What did Jesus say to the woman caught in THE VERY ACT of adultery after he told the rest of them that whoever was without sin could cast the first stone: Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. Drop your stone and walk away.

Where is Robert Morris now. Where has he gone?

[@NikaMaples1]

That is an extremely good question.

[@irishartn]

This was an excellent analysis, Nika. Thank you so much for sharing from your experience and prayerful wisdom.

[@samshokrollahi7632]

Lynn Saint - My heart breaks for those who have had their trust broken by a violation of the confidence placed in leaders and in others. My godly father used to pray that God would forgive our sins of commission and omission. May my heart be sensitive to the grief I cause Jesus. I appreciate your explanation of the platform as contrasted with grace. God’s grace is so abundant for us. However, His anointing may be withdrawn through our own negligence. Bless your vulnerable and open heart. 🙏♥️🙏

[@user-yw5mu3kv8u]

Question: Is Robert Morris or any relative still receiving ANY monetary income from Gateway Church or affiliated entities? Why is the congregation not asking this question?

[@NikaMaples1]

How do you know no one is asking?

[@issakariet558]

That is a very good and appropriate question to ask!! I also wonder ...

[@deborahvarneyduboise6776]

He’s not suffering, at least in his fiance’s.the reason so many people came to that church is because James Roberson helped him get his teachings out there on TV. 📺 and people think that if you’re on TV. That means you are a good place to be and so they go look and when it’s still new, then there’s many positions to be filled and then there you have it!!And then there’s many types of personalities going on and when it gets so big the Pastor has to turn some things over to others and it’s a big thing that will explode at some point.. just saying I have 50 yrs. Watching these things that end up WRONG AND WE SEE THE $$ and it’s just wrong. They have millions of dollars & live like CELEBRITIES AND THERE ARE PEOPLE HURTING, starving right under their noses 👃 now tell me God is pleased with that..🤔🙆‍♀️😔

[@issakariet558]

Agree a 100%!! Sadly there 's a long list of these kind of abusers, manipulators and deceivers in christiannity!! That 's exactly what the apostle Paul warned us for!!

[@glenisthomas2681]

Thank you, Nika, so good. I am greatly blessed and encouraged by your words : )

[@raybrensike42]

I believe the apostle Paul took his words and preaching seriously. He wrote "Oh wretched man that I am." He wrote some marvelous words of a wonderful lifestyle, and he also wrote "Oh wretched man that I am." That's worth remembering. It's a part of his marvelous gospel.

[@issakariet558]

That 's a naïve and inappropriate remark!! We speak about a "leader" here! Jesus died for the sin of the whole world for wich we are thankfull because not one of us is perfect! But there 's requirements for leaders in the bible! And as believers we MUST take appropriate responsibility in terrible situations like the one with Morris!! In worldly justice he should have been put in jail!! Besides, have you ever thought about the immense damage he caused in the life and the whole family of Cindy Clemishire ???

[@issakariet558]

We should be very much DISCERNING but NOT surprised that these things happen ... In Acts 20:29 the apostle Paul WARNS the elders of Ephesus at the event that they wept for him because he tells them they would never see him again! He WARNS them for 2 KINDS OF EVIL LEADERS among the believers: 1/ Acts 20:29 "For I know this, that after my departing shall GRIEVOUS WOLVES E N T E R I N among you, NOT sparing the flock". 2/ Acts 20:30 "ALSO OF YOUR OWN SELVES, shall men arise, speaking PERVERSE THINGS, to draw away disciples after him". I 'm convinced that those that entered in from outside are evil from the beginning and were never a believer. They are send as part of an evil agenda to destroy christiannity because the bible tells us there will come a worldleader on the scene that 's called the Anti-christ! Not the anti-islamist or the antibuddist or the anti-newage or the antitaoïst or the antishintoïst etc. The sexual abuse, the heretical false teachings, the arrogance, the shameless moneygrabbing (many times from sick and poor people) the manipulation, the outrageous wealth accumulated on the back of wellmeaning believers is soooo big, and ..... the list of these deceivers is endless! Morris is a hardcore deceiver!! We MUST discern!!!

[@guisekula769]

I totally & absolutely agree with you. In fact I said this to someone "a pastor" talking about Pastor Morris & i said to this brother "he that hath no sin cast a stone" Jesus said to the woman neither do i condemn you. We should encourage Morris not condemning him.

[@ybrahimpinto1391]

He; Morris condemns himself, knowing or should have known the circumstances of such violation in God,s sight and read scriptures Jesus began ministry with no prosperity of gaining wealth or building temples and chose 12 and of the 12 one was obsess with wealth and thinking of kingdoms of the world when Jesus had said my kingdom is not of this world!

[@paulicarr7158]

I also attended Gateway for a while but started to see some red flags. I have to question your discernment, especially when he started teaching that Christ gave up His divinity when he came to earth. I don't think this has anything to do with gloating, but a warning about wolves in sheep's clothing.

[@NikaMaples1]

I have never heard him say that Christ gave up his divinity when He came to earth. Cite your source, provide a link to the recording, and prove that you heard him say that.

[@graceweber2822]

What happened? Like Adam and Eve, he succumbed to the temptation.

[@davidjohnson6538]

Sorry most people aren't global but sad for you and many others Morris is always been a false teacher prosperity gospell and hyperchasmatic christans and false. Teaching he never should have been allowed after to be preaching and should of went to church God is reveling the wolf's he said if you don't give you are cursed wake up it's not all about books get back to your true Bible 😢

[@issakariet558]

Indeed!! He 's not only an abuser but also a sick manipulator!! I 've been under such one! It 's mind-boggling how many of that kind are behind a pulpit and broadcast their sermons all over the world!! The apostle Paul specifically warned for such ones!!

[@ybrahimpinto1391]

Yes we are to forgive and pray for Morris which is part of our beloved guidance forgive 70 times 7, but Morris should confess to God and should read and meditate on chapters of James chapter 4, and 5

[@ybrahimpinto1391]

Morris had lots of followers that are or were still hungry for the richness of the world, so then there are not sheep of Jesus cause John 10:3 confirms their intentions such as read books written by Morris and the publisher or the promoter there are not well established in God's Holy word but only established in wealth and money and of course now knowing what has happened there is excuses instead of saying we are at fault as well, Rom 3:23 1Co 11:28 Matthew 16:26 Psalm 62:10 so in this someone should have had confronted him as according as the book of James directors us . but no, it is not a sheep of Jesus cause Jesus said my sheep know my voice and not follow a strangers voice unfortunately for Morris its followers and congregation were just for what Psalm 62:10 warn us ; now Morris has one blessed option if he repents and have a talk with our Lord Jesus and will be a blessing if he reads Matthew 19:16 through 24 and for his followers to reread 2Corinthians 3:5 .

I'm very sad I really loved to watch and listen to Robert Morris every Sunday. I met him in irving at TBN one night when I was leaving tbn.very very humble man.so sad this happened to him. People mess up but it takes 2 people she was in the wrong as much as he was so that is how I feel and I also feel she was money hungry also.he will be missed. 😢😢😢

[@issakariet558]

Morris??? A humble man that messed up??? Have you even seen the interview with Cindy Clemishire??? Morris who was a MARRIED man had very securely and thoughtfully premeditated how he was going to ABUSE that little girl of twelve years old!! This was NOT a messing up but a deliberate act!! Morris should be convicted and put in jail!! Besides that, he 's a master in manipulating the money out of wellmeaning christians' pockets into his own ... And sadly ... he 's one of a long list of deceivers in christiannity ...

[@debbiemay1843]

It happened when he was so young and yes it was wrong then, but he has repented and told the world anout it yrs ago and God has forgiven him. You should stop this.

[@jamesburns4702]

Our Pastor plans to lead a Bible study this fall on one of Robert Morris' books "The God I never knew". In light of Mr Morris' moral failings do you think this is a good idea? I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks

[@beaminup]

Robert Morris was a prosperity gospel teacher. Basically that god is Santa Claus who wants nothing more than to bless you with riches and wealth and health. God does not exist to give you everything you want and desire. Not to mention that God says that if a prophet is proven to be false, you do not need to follow that teacher. I don't listen to any pastor who proves themselves to be liars or false teachers. I stopped attending Marshill Church and listening to Mark Driscoll when he proved himself to be a liar and thief.

[@Summer_Daze]

Be sure to compare what you study in RM book with the actual Word of God in the correct context. RM has problematic teachings and I would rather try watch some of the criticism of his teachings, which may offend you, but rather let that offend you, than go down a wrong path. You should rather do a Bible study on the books in the scripture.

Judge not and you won’t be judged. I feel bad for Robert and I believe God isn’t done with him yet. Yeah he had a horrible past but so did King David, and so did Paul, yet they were forgiven. I feel bad for the victim and I hope she can forgive him one day because I know Jesus has.

[@happy_rancher]

Go back and reread what apostole Paul said; most people do not understand judgement. Paul explains that we believers are to hold accountable/judge the actions of those inside the church. Believers are to " purge the evil person from among you". God will judge non-believers . Cor 5:12-13. 1Cor 5:11 An adult married and with a child who molests a 12 year girl in her own home has committed a crime .

[@beaminup]

The difference between King David and Robert, King David was truly remorseful. Robert was only remorseful when he got caught. He did everything in his power to keep her story from coming out, including offering to pay her to keep her silent. He lied about her age. He lied and said that her father had blessed his ministry when he came back. Robert Morris never truly repented.

You need to protect children at all cost. Do you blame the 12 year old child like Morris, his wife and the elders did. I was 5 years old when I was sexual abused and it continued for years. I was also blamed it was my fault. I got more compassion from unsaved people than some people in the church.
