![]() Now I don’t know about you, but I can tell you that the sins of Jimmy Swaggart – and, concurrently, PTL’s Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker – made life tougher for me as a Christian. ![]() Because in contemporary American culture, celebrity preachers caught in serious sin never really disappear from “ministry.” Today, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries is still up and running via the SonLife Radio Network and the SonLife Broadcasting Network. Jimmy was suspended from the ministry and eventually defrocked by the Assemblies of God, only to get caught again with a prostitute in 1991. “I have sinned against You, my Lord,” wailed Jimmy, tears flowing down his face, as he conveniently failed to confess any actual specifics about what his sin was. One of the most indelible moments of my college years was Jimmy Swaggart’s publicly televised apology after he was photographed consorting with a prostitute and was exposed to the world.
