“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

A 23 April 2017 The Daily Mail article titled “Church Suspends Mistress of Minister Who Killed Himself As His Wife Demands Leaders Kick Out SEVEN Women He Had Affairs with on Remote Scottish Island” reports that Mrs. Anne Campbell, widow of the Rev. Dr. Iain D. Campbell, pastor of the Point Free Church on the Isle of Lewis in western Scotland, who hanged himself after being accused of having seven sexual affairs, is demanding that the seven women involved in the alleged affairs be suspended by their respective churches. One of the woman that admitted to an affair with Campbell has been suspended from the Lord’s Supper for one year.

Mrs. Anne Campbell says that she found evidence of the affairs along with a large amount of pornography on her husband’s computer.

The article said that leaders of Point Free Church had at first tried to keep the scandal quiet, but that Mrs. Campbell’s insistence that the seven women be held accountable for their misbehavior forced the issue into the open.

The Christian Institute’s special video series on The English Reformation and the Puritans, in collaboration with Ligonier Ministries, is now in its third week.

The current week’s episode is on Edward VI and Mary I. With the nine-year-old Edward on the throne, England is poised for an intentional Reformation.

In his twelve-part series, Dr. Reeves surveys Puritan theology and the work of the Holy Spirit when the Reformation flourished in England.

Major milestones of this movement underscore the Puritans' special place in history, as they displayed spiritual wisdom and discernment, still benefiting pulpits and believers today.

Access to the video series is available here:
