So what is going on.... hmmm.
Well this week was interesting in many ways. It just seemed like a really weird sad week in the christian community. I pastor/friend had to step down out of leadership at his church because of some serious marriage things, Todd Bentley the guy who has been having the revival in Florida for so long just separated from his wife and stepped down from his ministry for a while, and pastor who sang on the newest Hillsong album (he sang a song about God being his healer.. saying it was inspired/written after he came home after being told he only had a little while to live and had a video about being diagnosed with terminal cancer and singing the healer song live with oxygen tubes going to his nose). So after all that he came and out said the whole thing was a lie. He even told his wife he had had cancer for the last 2 years. Wow... that is crazy.
So it was a sad week. I know stuff happens to people in the christian community all the time but it just was interesting that I was connected to or recently paid close attention to all of those guys. It is just proof of the fact that we are sinners.... NO ONE is immune. It is probably even harder for people in leadership not to make errors (and they are magnified in the spotlight). And Satan will be after then harder. It is just crazy and sad. I was really bummed out about all of them.
My pastor/friend- biggest bummer for me and especially Catie
Todd Bentley- I wasn't as surprised... he worked a lot of hours and was really thrust into a spotlight. I was sad though and there were some articles that ripped him and his ministry pretty hard
Healer Guy- Wow, maybe the hardest to understand. Why lie about terminal cancer? And to everyone around you as well. There was about a million dollars donated to his healer fund cause thing... That is tough to swallow.
None of those are things that I like to see christians representing... but I do understand they are just people... and Satan loves to attack them, I an just amazed at the whole thing.. I wsill haven to thing about it.
anyways I am tired and going to bed
