Dear Terry,
I've just read that you resigned from your ministry and I feel really sad.
I'll pray for strength for you and your family.
Your music remains pure and while listening to it the annointing of the Holy Spirit is still there.
God has given you a great gift as a worshipleader and I'm sure you'll be back one day .
Your coming out and the resignement show courage and honesty, you remind me of David.
God bless,
Ineke

Dear Terry,
No one is going to think any less of you. All of us have failed in big or small ways; but we have a Father we can go back to and lean on. I was introduced to your ministries by a friend of mine. When my dad was on his death bed and I plugged your song " You are my dream come true.. with eyes for only You.." I could see life twinkling on his close to lifeless face. He passed away a little later, but those songs still keep me loving my God better and better rather than asking God questions like "Why Lord"?
Restoration is for sure, and I pray that you will soon find the forgiveness of God and the mind of a GREAT DAD in Him. We are praying for you in our cell meetings as well. Isaiah 54:7-8... With Greater mercies I will gather you.
Your struggle is just very small compared to the impact this ministry has brought and will bring to many many lonely and wounded souls.
God Bless you Terry!! Don't stop to it, write more love songs and heal many in need ...till we awake in His Likeness.
God Bless,
Mathew

Keeping our eyes upon GOD, our CREATOR, SHOULD be man's main focus!
Thats where mine are! Amen!
We are human and fail, that's what Christ's Love is about! And since His Message is forgiveness,
That's what I am, Forgiven.
That price of forgiveness, has been paid., through Christ's blood, sacrificed for all sins past, present, and future. Continually striving to be in FAVOR of God, by asking forgiveness, and then Praising Him, because He Alone is WORTHY !

Give me a break people! The devil didn't make him do it! He did this, knowing that his sexual urge was more important than his wife, his kids, and his ministry, and his GOD! Look at Joseph in the Bible. He ran from sexual immorality! Don't tell me this was just an "attack of the enemy." I'd like to know who the woman is. She is just as guilty for ruining a family, as she is of enticing Terry with lust in the first place! These people do need to be exposed and corrected by the church as the Word says. I feel betrayed and angry! I loved his music. They CD's I spent money on are now in the trash!!

So you're going to throw all the scriptures King David wrote after his fall from grace? There but for the grace of God go you and I.

My prayer is for you as well as for Terry. I pray that you will be restored after your fall. No, I'm not speaking trouble into your life. I am, however, recognizing that you are one who needs grace and mercy just as any of us. Terry was not and is not exempt from falling and nor are you. Yes, God is able to keep us from falling. He is also merciful and gracious enough to forgive us when we fall. There has only been one to walk the face of this earth, who maintained a perfect life, Jesus Christ. Who are you to judge. Check your self! Bro Terry, many are the afflictions of the righteous. Walk in victory. I'm looking forward to more of the annointing worship ministry that is in your life. You can't get away from it.
May God bless you and your entire family. My brother and sister you are both loved. May God restore your marriage with a bond greater than before.

There is no excuse for sin and we can not blame the devil,but did you tear out everything in your bible that was written about or by king David after his affair with Bath-sheba?If not you are guilty of hypocrisy just as Terry is guilty of adultery,my dear brother in Christ Terry repented and removed himself from ministry.Let us remember Mercy and Forgiveness

Pretty harsh commentary coming from someone going by the name, "love the word." The Word says when a brother is taken in a fault, you who are righteous are to help restore him, not beat him down. We "Christians" do a pretty good job shooting our wounded. Jesus taught, "You who are without sin cast the first stone." I hope God gives you grace to forgive. His music and his ministry, to those of us fortunate to have been in his meetings, is not trash. It appears that you may be very wounded in this area...maybe you should seek help so you are not so angry. One of the Christian distinctives is our ability to love unconditionally. "They will know we are Christians by our love." While it is true that the Bible teaches that the Lord always provides a way of escape when we are tempted, and Terry made a very grevious error in judgment, he is now reaping what he has sown. He has lost a wife, a family, and a ministry. He doesn't need your condemnation too. It's time for us to put into practice what we preach and teach. God is love, we are His disciples. Let's grow up and walk in His ways.

Mercy, mercy, mercy, I pray you do not have to ask for it yourself one day. Pray for the MaCalmon family that they may be restored and that the latter glory of God in their lives may be greater than the former.
That will be your proof of the love of God in Christ Jesus for your brethren.

when did God made you a judge?? I don't think you are perfect as none of us are, you should be taking a real inventory of your life before you start pointing fingers just see where the other four fingers are pointing to and then ask God for forgiveness because no matter how or when we all fall short of the glory of God, our job is to love and pray for Terry and hold him up, don't kick your brother when he is down remember you are not spare from satan attacks like none of us are.
God bless you and keep you and for Terry may God bless you and hold you by your hands as you go through this down fall in your life remember that Jesus came to save not to comdemm.

Only God can judge. We have no place to judge Terry!! We all sin no matter how big or small we think it is. Sin is sin so if you have told a lie it's seen the same in God's eyes as to Terry's fall! God does not think that there is one sin bigger than the other!What has happened is tragic but I believe that once you have an anointing and calling on your life you can't run away from it and you will always be brought back. To throw his music away etc is wrong that means you were only listening to them because of Terry and not because of God and His anointing on the CD's. God says that we are to love His people and not the spirit behind them that has caused this. I believe and pray that Terry will be restored and that he will be able to continue his ministry in the near future and continue to bless and draw people closer to God when he is restored. Terry my prayers are with you and your family and I know that you will do the right thing and be re-united with your family. Allow God to minister to you at this time and He is a forgiving and loving God. Don't let satan continue to lie to you. Look forward to your new materials once you have completed your restoration. I will continue to listen to Terry's CD etc. God bless

The annointing that God put on the CDs when they were recorded is still there just as strongly as it was the day they were made. If God were to take his annointing off of something everytime the author or singer did something wrong, then we would have very little to read or listen to because we ALL have sinned and gone astray at some point in our life. I am sorry that this happened to Terry, but I cannot judge him because I have to many things God could judge me for in return. I can however pray for him and and I will rejoice greatly when I hear that Terry's marriage has been restored and I believe that God will give Terry a new song with a new dimension and an even greater annointing. I will continue to listen to his music and be blessed by it and I will continue to pray for Terry daily.

Pride comes before a fall my friend. Your judgemental spirit is not helpful in this situation; you should be praying for your brother in Christ rather than judging him. Remember Jesus' treatment of the woman caught in adultery; He forgave her and told her not to sin again. We are all sinners saved by the undeserved mercy of a Holy God who sent His Son to take the punishment for all of humanities sin; past, present and future, until the time of the restoration of all things. God is in the restoration business, and so should we be.
'Even so, come Lord Jesus'.

Why would you throw the cd's in the trash - that wasn't Terry minstering it was the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God. When I listen to the cd's I pray that he will return to his first love Jesus Christ because truly the Lord has anointed him to usher in His presence Judge not lest ye be judged.
Galatians 6:1 applies to all christians. I'm not condoning what he did because sin is sin and God is the judge not us. We all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. One sin is no greater than the other, so check yourself. Be angry and sin not.

To Greta and Terry and children. I too have experienced this in my life with my husband. But because of who God was in my life, he would not allow me to make it about me or my husband. And it was an attack on us both we both were victimized, and this was totally out of character for my husband too. But I asked God what would he have me do in this situation, and he told me according to my word you have every right to divorce your husband, but it is left up to you. And He also said to me when you disobey me, your Father God, I do not divorce you. I thank God that I listened and allowed God to get me passed my hurt and what I was feeling and thinking. I stood, because this was the for better and worse that I said I do too. Now, ten years later my husband and I are all the more blessed because we whether ed the storm. I thank God I didn't allow what I was feeling and thinking dictate my actions at that time. God has continued to make us one as He said we would become. You can't imagine how the Lord is going to use this to bless you both. You are both gifts to us the body of Christ. We are continually praying for you and your children, and we know that you both when this has passed you will not have taken anything for what it has brought you from the relationship with your Father

We are praying for you just as we are praying for Terry and the rest of the body of Christ until we all come into the unity of the faith. Terry is not God he is a man just like you, and somewhere he took his eyes off of God and put them on himself, and that was the beginning of his fall. Thank God for mercy and grace. I am truly glad that it is not we who judge but God as David said of his sin.

Dear Terry,
I just heard about the attack of the enemy of our souls on your ministry, God will abundantly pardon and restore you with a greater anointing. For your shame you shall have double says the LORD (Isaiah 61:7).
You did not hide your sin but confessed and repented (Prov 28:13, 1 Jn 2:1-2) the LORD says you shall have mercy. Your worship songs have inspired my worship of the FATHER and millions all over the world.
Rise up Terry for God is your strength.
The LORD bless and restore your marriage and ministry in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

True we must hold each other up and pray. We are all sinners, but I believe we can not use his music until he is restored properly again and has repented for when we sin we separate ourselves from God so our music or whatever must be tainted and must lose its anointing until we come back fully to the Father.

Terry I was just telling the brother who informed me of what happened to you and we even prayed the same time for you and your wife and family. God is on the throne and the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. God's call is still on your life, repent and turn away from from whatever happened to you. You are going to come back full of the Holy Ghost and still bless millions. Your sons will never die they will still bless our hearts and our time of worship with the Lord..We love you Terry and will not cease to keep you up in prayer. Hurry and return to the call of God on your life. Pastor Clarke

I'm sure you will come back even with more maturity and anointing. You will sing even deeper about the cross and grace. Don't give up! Your wife and sons need you! And we all need His Grace everyday.
Be strong!

Hi Terry...
I am familiar with your song "Prepare Ye The Way"...we play your music during prayer services in my church here in Sharon, Massachusetts.
I too am involved in Music Ministry and I too struggle with temptation all the time. I am in no place to ever point a finger at you for your sin, because the other 4 are pointing back at me!
I pray that you will find forgiveness, restoration and healing in your life. Oftentimes these struggles in our lives go back to childhood. Such is the case with me, I have been struggling for 36 years.
I pray that you will find God's grace, love, and mercy anew. And remember, it's not your ministry that makes you valuable in the sight of God, it is you as a person! You are just as loved now as the moment you were saved. Always remember that...God bless you!

A friend in a prayer group gave each of us a copy of"I came to Worship You" several years ago. Each of us wept as we separately listened at home. I have bought and given copies to people. Just last week a lady with whom I shared his music wrote me telling how it met a deep need in her life. I wept when I heard of his fall, but I still listen to the anointed music. I have prayed for him with others who worship with his music. His name is in my prayer journal, and I have asked God which scriptures to pray over him. God is in the business of restoring his children.

Dear Terry, I am ferverently praying for you everyday. As one who failed the Lord in this way and ran from God, I say He is is faithful to you and He will complete the work He began in you. There is no peace outside of complete surrender once you have known Him, nor is there any joy without the giving up your life to Him. I was divorced for 2 years after I left my husband, and the pain of dissapointing MY LORD never left me...in complete obedience I remarried my husband 30 years ago. God has fully restored me and our marriage, and I have never regreted it for a day. I have continued to minister in many countries, and God has greatly blessed me. May your heart receive His Grace this day, and know that we love you deeply dear brother, and Greta thank you for forgiving and for loving Terry inspite of his weakness. May the Lord be your reward for your faithfulness to Him!!!!
I read all of these comments and my heart was moved. It seems that there is always this attack on worshippers and musicians, and I agree, we must never throw stones. We have ALL sinned and fallen short. I know God will restore because, even now, I feel His renewed mercies, even in my own situation.
