Dec.13, (THAINDIAN NEWS) In a development that has created much sensation in religious circles, a Lowcountry pastor has been taken into police custody after being charged with felony possession of banned drugs, including marijuana and other stuffs. The incident took place in North Carolina. The bishop named Brian Moore is in his late forties, according to the police reports. He works as a pastor in North Charleston’s Life Center Cathedral Church. Besides, he is known to work for a number of other Churches located in and around South and North Carolina.
This is not the first time a Bishop is having a stint with law but the reason is bound to create quite a controversy. When a person associated with a religious institution is charged with felony and drug possession, it creates an uproar- both in the religious circle and general public. The web site of North Carolina Sheriff the Bishop posted a total of $3250 for three charges in bond. The details about the arrest and subsequent discovery still remains to be made known. The law will take its own course and the Bishop is likely to speak up in his defense. Police has not divulged much information on the incident as of now.
There could be other persons involved in the drug busting case. Whether the bishop had any partner or associate, will be revealed during the course of the investigation. The church where he works, has not come up with any public statement as yet. Whatever the truth is, the Bishop is surely in a tricky situation over this mess.

Think it not strange when you see these things happening. Man is subject to fall, none of us are beyond reproach.
We are living in the last time,
and as the bible predicted there is a great falling away of the church.
Two are gonna be on the roof, ones gonna be taken and the other left behind.
If your living right keep on living right.
If your not get it right.
All who know the words of prayer pray for the brother.
This too shall pass.

Definitely we need to keep our Pastors and Leaders uplifted in prayer everyday. They are human just like us but are held to a higher standard the lay people. Not by man but by God. The enemy is coming to kill, steal and destroy and is attacking the people of God through the weaknesses we do not deal with. The enemy will use situations we don’t have anything to do with and make it appear to that we do. BUT he’s A LIAR. I pray that God will expose the truth and the people of God will come together and cut the enemy’s head off. I agree with the man of God that stated love covers a multitude of sins but God has to be the source, the center and the focal point of the change.

Yes we all are human. I still have much love for Bishop Moore. He was the one who prayed over me when i was on drugs to get off. God pointed me in his direction and i pray that it is not true. If it is I still will love him like a big brother. like i said help help me and if i could have reach him i could have help him. yes i will pray still for him. he was with me when my daughter was diagnose with diabetes long time ago. If you read this big brother Brian get in contact with us.

Please be advised, that ALL charges have been dropped against Bishop Brian Moore. Of course this new develpoment has not been publicised as the news of his arrest was. I just don’t understand how when your family members get in trouble you believe their innocence without hesitation. T.I. and Lindsay Lohen get chance after chance, but many of you didn’t afford the same courtesy to one of God’s messangers!
