Gospel Musicians Charged With Church Break-ins

They played and sang uplifting spiritual music for several churches, but after the praise and worship and soul food fellowship was through, police say they came back and stole more than $100,000 worth of equipment from several Georgia churches.

Police charged gospel singers Deshawn Rico Thomas, 28, of Augusta and Rico Pionegro Blackshear, 28, of Dublin with nine counts of theft and burglary.Police had been investigating break-ins at several central Georgia churches. A tipster suggested they take a closer look at Thomas and Pionegro. A search warrant revealed the stolen equipment in the pair's vehicles and homes.
No one is perfect. I'm not sure what would push these two men to praise the Lord one minute and then steal the equipment that other Christians use to praise the Lord in the next. It's not about what we do or say in public that counts but what happens when no one is looking. As my mother quoted to me all the time as a child, "What you do in the darkness shall come to light."
If these men are found guilty of theft, the churches that they stole from have an opportunity to practice what they preach and forgive these two wayward men.
What do you think?
 
Do these men deserve a second chance?
