Pastor David Heckman Jr. was arrested for embezzlement. He allegedly stole $50k from Habitat for Humanity.
State Police say David Heckman Jr. stole more than $50,000 from the Tioga County chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Some of that money came from mortgage payments paid by homeowners who live in homes built by the charity. Heckman was the charity's treasurer.
Money corrupts the weak minded. A pastor is supposed to above this type of pettiness. I wonder what motivates a man to act in direct opposition to the path he was meant to follow? I cannot imagine. The though of stealing from the needed, heck, stealing for anybody, is abhorrent to me. When I read about pastors who make the turn towards amoral behavior, I am stunned by the hypocrisy. You cannot claim the moral high ground if you are willing to steal the roof from over a needy person’s head.

There definitely has been alot of people running around with their eyes shut to let his scamming get to this point. This proves that a moose could get ordained.
He'll like jail...he's use to bending over.

I believe that with the exceptions of sociopaths, and I don't think David is one because I know some authentic sociopaths, most people don't deliberately set out to be destructive. One careless or bad decision can lead to another and another, until we're in over our heads. I hope very much that David will be able to get out of this destructive cycle and find some of future ministry, probably after jail time, and also that he shouldn't handle any of a church's or organization's money ever again. As an ordained Presbyterian minister, I don't even touch the money in the offering plates. The only part of the church's money that I handle is my own paycheck.
