This would seem like an enormously touchy situation, that by accident you seen your Pastor with another women besides his wife. questions after questions, like do you close your eyes, and then every Sunday you always know it when he preaches. do you confront him in secret as to this affect and hope he See's his mistake, repents, and gets stronger and do you include his wife in the conversation, Or do you just up and seek another church home tell every one why your living or leave quiet and let every one else sit under it unaware what type of pastor they have? you get the picture give me you solution, and any scripture for a source of the fix!

I know that it would be a tough decision to make at that moment, but I also know what would be the best thing to do.
The right thing to do is to confront him about it in private and pray the God convicts his heart to go to his wife and tell her the truth.
The wrong thing to do is judging him just because he is a pastor. We need to remember that even pastors make mistakes too. They are human just like we are.
If you were to ask me if I would do that, I wouldn't be able to answer you. It's hard to say if you haven't been in that situation before. I guess we just have to pray for one another that we all don't fall into temptation like that because sooner or later, it will catch up to us.

I know this is a tough questions but sad to say It's happening more than we think or maybe we do know because of news or whatever but haven't given to much of how we would handle it if it came home in our life. I do understand a pastor are human too and can make mistakes no different than lay members, but since they chose to say they were elected as shepherd over a flock even Paul set strict values they should have. It was the issue of how we would handle such a touchy situation to dip down into our best scripture and intellect because of whats at stake such as the congregation, the wife, even ourselves because we know what happened. If another was with us at the time go to them with two witnesses, then before the congregation, in order as how he receives it, and if he is repentful so with love and prayer we support him on a spiritual recovery. the action for us is the issue may we have the wisdom through our Heavenly Father to do what's right. thank you for your resonse Shalom

You are so right with what you have stated. I know that this is happening. Sometimes right before our very eyes. And you are also right about confronting him in private first with a witness. It states that in the bible. I just don't know where exactly right now, but when I find it, I will post to your discussion. But we pretty much view this situation mutually. God Bless you and have a wonderful day.
