Last week, speakers at an international missions conference urged Christian organizations to hold leaders accountable and examine their ministry structure in light of the abuse scandal surrounding well-known apologist Ravi Zacharias.

Salvation in Three Tenses and the Peril of Christless Christianity
We must hold each other accountable to God’s best for us (Proverbs 27:17) as we “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). We must start every day by admitting how much we need Jesus to empower us by his omnipotent grace.
Should We Speak Publicly about the Sins of Christian Leaders?
After the late Ravi Zacharias was preliminarily found was guilty of sexual misconduct, many wondered why Christian news organizations would report these findings since Zacharias is already dead. There are several issues at play in determining whether or not Christians should air the previously unreported sins of public ministry figures after their death, but the primary one is this – Ravi Zacharias sinned against numerous women. We, as followers of Jesus, owe it to them to hear their stories, acknowledge their pain, and advocate for them to receive the restitution they deserve.
