Faith in Men

I'm not sure what I'm learning, but what I'm seeing is troubling.  In the last few weeks, I have had two men whom I would consider friends, men who have filled my pulpit, fall from their ministries.  I must say it has been very disturbing for me.  I considered them both to be better men, better pastors, better husbands and fathers than I.  I have often said, "That will never happen to me", when I see these things on tv; but now, these are men I know and respected and they have fallen.  I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it.  I have found in the past that how I feel about it usually depends on their attitude towards their sin.  If they are willing to step down from ministry and repent then I usually can forgive.  But if they deny and go on as if nothing has happened, how I feel about them is much different.

Is this how God feels about our sin?  As long as we repent and confess, He is willing to forgive?  I believe it is.  How many sins are there in my life that I am denying and hiding and pretending don't exist?
1 John 1:8-10-If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5-And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. ²For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. ³And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, ⁴and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, ⁵that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
