At this point, the news is flying fast and frantic. People are mad, upset, hurt, angry, confused, and the list really goes on and on. How does this kind of thing happen? Who knows. There are a LOT of things that no one can understand. There is no way to explain all of the transgressions. Here is what is important to remember:
Grace is free, but cost you a lot to extend it to others.
You will want Grace some day, so dish out to the level you would want to receive.
Gods word is true, and does not change.
One of the names of God is Healer. God Heals. Always has, always will.
If God can use a donkey, he can use a man with flaws, and for that I am so thankful.
At this time, it is time for the church to shine. It is not about how you feel. This is about the work of God. Your not a judge, neither am I. How you respond to the man, the song, and what God is doing with this song is what is important. Sure, this could be a black eye for the church, but it could be a slit in the throat if we, as the church and christians, do not respond properly.
God has breathed on this song. God has a plan and a purpose for this song, and those involved with it. The devil would love to discredit this song and the movement of people being healed. Do not allow yourself to buy into destruction, speak life. God also still has a plan for those involved in the song (writers, churches, those singing, etc)
I am so glad that God has given us Grace. Grace is amazing. I have needed it more than anyone. So I want to give it out on a level higher than I have ever received.
GRACE ALWAYS WINS!
More to come when I can speak about this on a larger scale.

I am so glad God’s anointing was on the song. The man was just an instrument. No matter the reasons for a man to fall from grace, God’s purpose and plan will not be faltered. Keep the Faith…

Hey,
Thanks for the way you guys are handling this with such grace. I appreciate you jumping over to my blog and to TWC as well.
I called Matt (Peterson) that AM … said “please tell me it’s not true” … you know, you want to just believe it’s a mistake.
God doesn’t make mistakes. That’s for sure.
For the Kingdom,
Fred McKinnon

This song has a powerful meaning even as we see the true story come out. God writes a narrative above and beyond what we ever dream. He is the Healer, the Restorer, and the Forgiver.
It is a church that condemns without bringing hope and loving accountability that will collapse in on itself. Mike needs accountability from brothers who have struggled with the same issues and come out in Christ’s strength.
Let’s destroy the idol of religiosity on the one hand and the kind of relativistic hedonism that a new generation seems to be embracing where lives do not match the words. Let’s get on our knees, broken. Let’s come clean with each other and with God and see revival. If our hearts aren’t right let’s cancel the big show, the big concert, etc, etc, whatever the church subculture wants from us. Let’s get real with God. Because God the best Father one could ever ask for. He has the perfect blend of loving discipline. His grace never ceases to amaze. And He still brings revival to thirsty souls.

New Grace and mercy everyday to ALL of us. Yes, it was and it hurt but how about praying for the man and forgiving him. Christians forget that we don’t have a Heaven or Hell to put put one in. the man has come forth and repented NOW let Jesus deal with it at the Cross…
