I have been deeply grieved by this situation. The Lord ALWAYS allows the truth to be brought into the light and He has done so through the Commission. I just pray that Mr. Leclerc can make peace with himself and his Lord. DENIAL is such a strong force in his life, I cannot fathom going this long convincing himself that this was a simple vendetta against him with no ACCOUNTABILITY for his actions.

I am strong on grace coupled with accountability. If one does not take accountability he will continue to repeat self-destructive behaviors. Freedom cannot exist in a LIE. It isn’t about apeasing the public-it is about being FREE inside in the name of Jesus Christ. It is irrelevant to me what persona I present to the public for ALL truth dwells in the heart. Since Mr. Leclerc is in his final days I pray for peace for him and his family…

[...] LeClerc (Saskatoon Northwest) who was elected in 2007, was legislative secretary to the Corrections Minister and a member of the Human Services committee. He was asked to sit as an independent by Premier Brad Walls after an audio tape and 60 page chat room transcript of two men talking about drugs and sex surfaced in April.

I am very sad to hear about this situation. I was at the original prayer walk when the Teen Challenge property at Allan was being blessed. Serge’s influence and work there has no question helped many young men break free of their addictions and turn their lives around. No doubt these same young men will be affected by what is being reported in the news right now about Serge.

As for the matter of Serge’s guilt or innocence – only our Lord and Savior and Serge know the complete truth of the allegations made against him.
I do know however that we as Christians are held to a higher standard and often do become a target from the world. This is no doubt why the Bible warns us to be very careful to be truthful and forthright in all our dealings. The Bible speaks to this when it tells us that “He that is faithful in least is also faithful in much” and vise versa.

This is why the claims made about the pardon in Serge’s book are very cruical. If his claims are found to be false this indicates deception and could be an indicator of other larger decetions. Similarily,in law if a lawyer exposes even a small lie from a witness under oath his character is tainted and the credibility of his whole testimony is called into question.

Regarding the laptop – Why could ould Serge’s fiance not produce it to have the hard drive checked and clear up the matter?
A news conference with a sample of hair being taken by an independant source on camera and sent to an indepedant lab for drug testing should be able to satisfy even the harshest critics. Submitting a hair sample through ones lawyer at this point probably won’t have much effect as it would most likely be viewed with the same amount of skeptism as a paid “expert” witness hired by ones own lawyer.
These are just common sense suggestions that seem odd not to have been taken to clear up this whole unfortunate affair.
In closing I would also like to say that I will be praying for Serge no matter what the truth turns out to be. He like all of us, need God’s grace to cope with life’s offences and unjust accusations when they come.
However, if we are ever caught up in a weakness we can boldly go to the throne of mercy and receive forgiveness and the cleansing power found only through the blood of Christ.

In His Service,
