Healer was a hoax?

It's no secret, I'm a big Hillsong fan. If you haven't heard the latest CD called

THIS IS OUR GOD, then you need to go pick it up. One of my favorite songs on the CD is called "The Desert Song" sung and written by Brooke Fraser (get her CD Albertine if you like her voice too!). But this weekend, I heard some crazy news about ANOTHER one of my favorite songs on the album called HEALER. A pastor from Australia wrote the song as a source of strength during his battle with cancer. It turns out that the pastor didn't have cancer at all- he was covering up his porn addiction.

Check out the full story here.

At first, I was shocked. Why would he do such a thing? Why would he deceive and hurt so many people? But as I watched his story unfold, I got a certain peace about it. I feel it deepens the song even more. He needs spiritual healing now. Please pray for Pastor Mike Guglielmucci and that God will heal him and his family.

Disappointing story, Chris...but you're right ... the song is what it is...powerful...healing.

We saw Hillsong United a few weeks ago in Houston and they were bigger than life awesome.

See you in October in Monroe!
