Okay I'm just going to get this out of the way now so I can talk about things I'm much more interested in talking about.
Supreme Court Ruling: So gay couples can get married nationwide. If you're gay, I will pray for you and your future. If you're a Christian, you better love and care for gay people just like Jesus would. It's not your job to judge or condemn. It's your job to educate and tell the good news of Christ.
Confederate Flag: At this point there is no defending that flag. Come on people, you can argue all you want that it's "heritage" but the south fought to keep slavery a thing. You can't get around that and that being the case, it should be illegal to fly.
So this past week I had the opportunity of playing drums for the worship band at church camp. This is my second year playing and once again it was an awesome experience. I guess I can use the excuse that I haven't posted in awhile because of camp, but to be completely honest I was totally capable of posting....
Anyways the one thing I was going to tell you about camp this week was that on Thursday night, one of my friends from church (who is still old enough to be a camper) was brought on stage and healed of his eye problems.
I've known Matthew for probably 10 years at least. He's 2 years younger than I am but I've been his friend for a long time. When he was a young child he was given medication that he had an allergic reaction to and it damaged his eyes permanently. Now that he's old enough he's discovered that he will never be able to drive. So on Thursday night the pastor called him up on stage. He then said, "Tonight we are going to heal Matthew's eyes," I was stunned.
I have been going to church camp for 14 years. 12 of those years I was a camper. Never have I seen anything like what I witnessed Thursday night. The saddest part of all this is that Blurryface was convincing me that it wouldn't work. My skepticism was ruling me. Whenever I hear about modern healings I can't help but think it's set up or fake. That's really screwed up. I'm a follower of Christ gosh dang it. I know that he can heal and when I doubt the legitimacy of things like healing, I'm limiting God to what I think he is capable of."
That night when I saw Matthew be healed I decided that my feelings of skepticism would never happen again. Even if I saw a healing, believed it was real, but it turned out to be fake...
WHO CARES? Not all of them are fake. God is so capable of healing in today's world and he does. I am convinced of that.
