I have just spent an hour sittiing in the Father's presence while istening to your music. My idea of Heaven on earth would be to sit in one of your times of worship live. There is no way the enemy can have a victory in your life in this matter. Our God is bigger than anything satan can try to use to destroy God's annointed.
I will continue to pray for God's perfect will to be done in your family's lives. Psalm 139 tells us that God scheduled every day of our lives before the creation of Earth and has it written it down. It is difficult to figure out how God is going to have the victory in your situation, but He IS faithful to complete the work that He has started in all of us.
God' greatest strength to you all.

Terry, it is 2:10AM and I have been listening to your music for about 2 hours. Your ministry of words and music ministers to me in ways I can experience through no one else. Brother, the anointing is STILL upon your music!
I don't know all your circumstances. I only know that you are God's beloved. Please know that as I listen to your music I am praying for you: His healing; His time; His way.
You are in my heart. Most of all you are in the Father's!

Shocked? Sorry? Sad?,,, maybe somewhat, but he is a man just like the rest of us, just like David, whos psalms have helped alot of us through life, a man after Gods own heart it's said, whos words and songs and stories fill the bible, including the one of his infidelity...Get up Terry, move forward, Love ya.

Dear Terry and Greta,
Only you, Father God, Lord Christ and Holy Spirit know how painful and confusing this valley is for you and your family.
But God,
Is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you may have His merciful compassion in and upon you, that you may be able to rise up out of the ashes of finished sin - sin having run its course - must be finished that death may be pronounced upon it by the LORD himself.
That you may receive a greater revelation of Eternal Life in knowing God and LORD Christ.
The wages of sin is death to the sin, because the worship of the LORD fills your soul, the cleansing fires of the Holy Spirit will bring the dross of lust up and OUT in LORD Jesus' name.
Thank you for being faithful to God to know that you must sit down --- until the condition of your soul is healed, and your heart through true repentance is truly broken, to make more room for the greater Presence of the Lord.
There must be true brokeness of the heart to let the LORD of our heart in on His terms.
He loves you and your family!
He will heal and repair the brokeness when His work is finished on this level of faith to faith and glory to glory that He has for you and your family.
Your labor of love is NOT in vain in the LORD!
We love you and appreciate you for the love for our LORD that you shared with all of us, in your songs.
We are praying for you, your wife and your children.
God is truly able to raise the dead!
Watch and pray!
Your Sister In Christ,
Jan C.

What a shock! I am just about to teach my little Choir of about 13 singers the wonderful inspiring YOU'RE MY GLORY when I read on the web how Terry has suffered such fate. Terry, there is no reason for you to resign from Ministry. I believe, we are all in this ministry together - to lift up the name of the LORD, Almighty. The enemy will come at us with all his arsenal because he once occupied this position in Heaven. I pray that such talents won't go down for the enemy to laugh. Remember Donnie's song, "WE FALL DOWN"! Part of it says, "... for a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up". I am praying with you for a full restoration and restitution. Terry, it is not over until it's finally and decisively over! It's time for Greta to forgive and stand firm, no matter how deep and farther Terry has gone, there's still the 'prodigal' way to return. It is for better, for worse! Give GOD the glory and shame the devil.

Terry,
All these comments are so encouraging for the most part. I would ask, is there any one out there can can email to Terry about having an affair and how God brought them thru it? What were you feeilng at the time? Does your spouse know? Have you been the 'other woman' or the 'other man?' Nobody just decides to have an affair. (At least, not some one like Terry). There are unmet emotional needs, that you are unaware of that all of a sudden you sense are being fulfilled by this other person in the slightest sense, then down that road you go. Nobody wants to hurt those they love. You one day wake up and find yourself trapped. You worship God because of His mercy to covers you. Yet, you still give in the flesh, the total sense of utter acceptance and etc...You tell the Lord you will never fall again, and try to walk away. YOu give in more and more to losses of temper, depression. This is where your choice comes to die to self, to truelly lay down your life I recogn...
I am sure this is the battle Terry, you have fought, until you could fight no more.
Indeed the Lord gives new beginnigs, I have seen many families broken by divorce. The important thing for now, is that you get to where Jesus is your only refuge. Not having 'Worshipping for us' as your place of refuge. Someone like you who has walked away, doesn't just come skiping back. You will have a limp in your walk. As you wrestle with the Lord, you will learn humlity like you never had had to before. like Jacob. May His grace keep you, no matter waht you decide, His mercies are unending, and new every morning.

I was ordering CDs today when I learned of this hearbreaking trial. I not only am going to intercede for Terry but also for his wife, for grace to endure and patience to wait on the Lord.
Let this be a warning to all of us, that the enemy of our souls is increasingly on the attack to destroy our families, our ministries, and our testimonies. Precisely because we overcome him by the "BLood of the Lamb, and the WORD (Song) of our testimony".
By the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, this man, this woman, and their children WILL be saved, redeemed, restored, INTACT, and returned to lead thousands into the presence of God. Not as those who are without sin, who of us is? But as the Redeemed.
Please friends, do NOT resist the grace of God. But allow him to Love you through this.
We will stand with you. Thousands of us have had our souls snatched from the pit by your ministry. Now it is time for us to do that for you.

Sweet Terry:
Please don't give the devil what he wants. Stand up and fight! If you get a chance pick up my book entitled Twenty-Four Hours with God. My life was a mess and I sought God's forgiveness at 52 and began again. Whatever you may have done, it is not unforgivable and it is not worth "throwing in the towel." Just the fact that Satan is after you is proof that your life is a treasure and God's desire to use it to help others IS His plan for you! What an awesome God we serve. I thank you Lord that you forgive us daily, hourly, by the minute for those sins we commit against you and I thank you Lord that Terry, your anointed man of God will return very quickly to the life that You have led him to lead. Amen.

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
To the Body of Christ,
In reading the comments, it saddens me, but in a compassionate manner, I want to say to Terry and his wife and family, I do not judge you! My own struggles and battles have certainly left me with scars, and it's only His Grace and Grace alone that I am here today.
It's easy to "Judge." because we rise up in our carnality, and immediately want to "Throw the first stone." but we forget, "Lest for the Grace of God, be it me, you........." I send my love and mercy to them
at this time. I am not "Saluting." Terry for his behaviour NOR the woman whom he had the affair with, but they are NOT beyond Christ's Redemptive Power, to Heal and Restore. I think of Romans 8:28, that ALL things work together for good, doesn't mean everything in our lives is good, not at all........God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts. Amen
