We aren’t clear on the nature of this question, however, perhaps what is meant by a “cross-continent group get-together” is our request for a Skype type of meeting for the convenience of board members and others who do not live in the Dallas area. We thought this would save time and money in travel. The plan to record it was for accountability purposes and review, NOT for public distribution. Even so, if a person is telling the truth and has nothing to hide, he should not be afraid to speak and have it recorded. Those of us in the GFA Diaspora were not afraid.
If the question was why we created this website cataloging all our communications with KP and shared it across the continent with you, indeed its purpose is to bring into the light all of these hidden things to cause godly sorrow leading to repentance (2 Cor. 7:9-10).
Also, it is not our intention to have our efforts please Satan but to please God. We know God is pleased when we bring our deeds into the light, that they may be clearly seen to have been done in God (John 3:21). God desires that we walk in the light as He is in the light so that we can have fellowship with one another (I John 1:7).
Sometimes the end is good, but not the means. God desires truth in the inward parts (Psalm 51:6), and though it’s easy to fear what will happen if these deeds are exposed, we know He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We serve a God who is able to redeem, but if we make decisions based on fear of what the Enemy might do, we are not walking closely with our powerful God.
If indeed KP is at fault, then his primary concern should be repentance, not the damage it might do to his reputation. Let God deal with the fallout. KP’s responsibility is simply to humble himself and repent. In fact, that is KP’s best chance of leaving a good legacy — repenting publicly for the record and implementing real reform in all five areas of sin that we raised in the letter.
