TV evangelist: I'm being extorted over affair

A prominent televangelist appeared before a worldwide television audience Tuesday to admit that he had an affair with a woman years ago — and to allege that three people had tried to extort millions of dollars from him to stay quiet about his infidelity.

The Rev. Marcus Lamb, who created DayStar Television Network with his wife Joni, said he and his wife had healed their marriage and had hoped to keep his adultery private, but went public because they would not pay extortionists. The three people demanded $7.5 million, he said.

Just being honest, but I find myself praying a lot for the sheep and very seldom does the Holy Spirit lead me to pray for the false prophets.

Until today, I never knew that this lamb person existed.

Thank God for the REAL Lamb!
