A Baptist minister was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of embezzling more than $800,000 from the church he leads in Compton to pay for personal luxuries, including an expensive car and swimming pool, officials said.
...
According to a report that appeared in the Compton Bulletin last year, Sims stunned members of his congregation when he admitted at a Sept. 14 meeting to taking thousands of dollars a month in "household allowances" without first obtaining the approval of the church's executive board of directors. Sims was said to have also divulged that more than $1 million was missing from church coffers.
I hate to see stuff like this. Yet if he possesses the Holy Spirit, he is still saved. Now the judgment seat of Christ may get a little bumpy - but there is still a chance for him to turn things around for himself.
