Healer…take two?!?

August 20, 2008 · 9 Comments

sooo, this song has now hit the airwaves like never before…you can read this article to get more info if you want…but the basics are that the author of the song “Healer” made up the whole story of his terminal cancer…WOW…that’s kind of hard to swallow…but should it be???

should we be surprised when people mess up…should it be so devastating when christians stumble…or at least when we find out they have stumbled??? how many times do i stumble and it goes unnoticed by the world around me??? we are all human…we all have a battle within us between our sinful nature and the Spirit within us…we are going to stumble…even fall…

for me, i’m not going to try and come up with a reason as to why this happened or what should happen now…the song is in our set for this sunday and it’s going to stay there…what has happened has no bearing on the lyrics of this song and the truth they contain…the mistakes we make have no bearing on the truth that is contained in God’s word…thank You Lord!!!

check out this post and this post to see other perspectives given…i’m sure there will be more to come for those who care to follow and read the story…or we can trust in God and pray that He will bring the healing that is needed…

sooo, i’ve still been thinking about the post from monday…i was asked to go and play in another softball tournament next week, which is not going to happen…and it has made me continue to think about things…and in addition to that i’m working through the book of john still and that kind of added to what i was thinking…

john 3:17…often overlooked due to the verse directly before it…has a ton to say about God and tells why He sent His Son to earth…to SAVE sinners…He went without His Son by His side for 33 years…to SAVE the very people that would put Him to death…

now i know that there was still communication between them…and i know that He’s God and was still able to “be with” His Son whenever He so chose…but what about the three days immediately following Christ’s death??? He willing sent His Son…willing allowed His Son to be our sin sacrifice…willing went that time without His Son…to SAVE sinners…to have a personal relationship with me…with you…

i can not begin to imagine how much that hurt him…the pain and agony that He was feeling is beyond anything that i could comprehend…for me…for you…

what do you think???

a day without my child…take two…
