ORIGINALLY POSTED HERE IN SEPTEMBER, 2018.
In case you missed the sad news, BILL HYBELS, famous pastor of a church of 25,000 members in Illinois and author of 50 Christian books, resigned recently because of sexual misconduct. Interestingly enough, I read recently that Hybels, whose church is the 5th largest in America, was once a counselor for disgraced former President Bill CLINTON.
America now seems to have an "Unholy Trinity" of 3 sexual predators, and, oddly, they all happen to be named "Bill" (although there are, unfortunately, too many others with different names, also.)
Regarding the 3 "Bills," well, first, there's a politician, President Bill Clinton who, 20 years ago, had tons of sexual sins come to light. He was impeached by the House (but not removed from office by the Senate) regarding issues stemming from his sins.
Then, we had an entertainer, formerly known as "America's Dad" no less. His name, of course, is Bill COSBY and later this month, he (rightly) faces sentencing in jail for his sexual crimes.
And finally, to the politician and the entertainer we must now add Bill HYBELS...a pastor.

(I could also add Conservative commentator Bill O'REILLY and Christian teacher Bill GOTHARD to that list of infamous "Bills" credibly accused of sexual misconduct, by the way).
And I thank God that ANOTHER Bill.....the late, great Billy Graham.....ran his race without one accusation of sexual misconduct ever leveled against him. Whereas Hybels foolishly allowed himself to be alone with a grown woman in his house, GRAHAM would not even allow himself to be alone in a public ELEVATOR with a woman who wasn't his wife! Such wise caution kept him from scandal over decades of worldwide ministry.
But, I digress.
So Bill Hybels (justly) has to RESIGN and may face legal action, perhaps, for his sins. And COSBY, as I said, rightly faces JAIL TIME. So, will somebody tell me why Bill CLINTON paid no real price for what HE did??
He should have resigned, like HYBELS did...but he didn't, and 65% of the American people supported him in his stubborn refusal to do the right thing.
And he should have had the rape allegations against HIM investigated as vigorously as COSBY'S allegations were (eventually) investigated.
But not only was Clinton allowed to finish out his second term, he still gets honored and adored by many, and it troubles me deeply. There he was on TV, during Aretha Franklin's funeral recently, sitting up on the stage while glaring at the rear end of one of the singers (see photo above), and many of the folks there STILL practically worshiped him as if he dignified the event by being there. (Either that, or they were so busy calling TRUMP a snake, they were blinded to the snake they allowed to sit among them.) Clinton should have had so much shame, that IF he sat in that church in that honored seat at all, he should have covered his face with Cicely Tyson's ridiculously oversized black hat.
Or, better yet, Ms. Tyson should have covered it FOR him.
Bill Cosby?? Disgraced.
Bill Hybels?? Disgraced.
But........Bill Clinton?? Still the darling of many liberal women though he's the biggest predator of all and still beloved by many black people though he's the greatest example of "White Privilege" that we've all seen in our lifetimes.
Go figure.
If I wasn't a Christian who believed that one day GOD will give everyone who doesn't repent and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ what they deserve, I tell you, I'd go batty looking at the injustice of it all.
So why does Bill CLINTON get away free?? Beyond the fact that God has allowed it for His own wise purposes, my answers, from the HUMAN side, are these: Because he is 100% Liberal and because he was ALWAYS phony in his profession of being a Christian. See, Bill COSBY was saying some pretty conservative things before the accusations against got real traction in the media (things like that pastor at Aretha's funeral service was saying....the ones which have brought all that hatred down on him.) And, Bill HYBELS?? Well he appeared to be a genuine, prominent Christian so the Liberal, mainstream media ALWAYS had it in for him. He just gave them the "gun" to "shoot" him with.
But Bill CLINTON is the kind of guy the Liberals love...he did NOT seem to live out his professed Christianity, and he obviously does NOT believe in personal responsibility for one's actions. The mainstream media therefore backed him up by suppressing (as much as possible) the truth about him BEFORE he got elected the first time. And they (and Liberal Democrats) keep him and Hillary "afloat," even now. I actually pity Clinton...if he doesn't repent and truly get saved, he WILL get punished in eternity for the exploitation of women that he got away with NOW. He's only getting away free in THIS life, you see, and when it bugs me I need to read Psalm 37 and Psalm 73 again, and PRAY for the man!
In conclusion, the last chapter is not yet written for Bill Clinton, and I pray it's a happy one. He's not going to like the Alternate Ending, if he doesn't turn to Jesus.
