Did God Cry When Michael jackson Died?

Do you think God cries when a sinner dies?

I am not asking for a theological debate. I just want to offer a few thoughts. Do you think God grieves when any of his creation dies without accepting his sacrifice? Is God’s love only limited to those who love Him? Would the prodigal’s father have grieved over his son if he had never returned? I know how much I hurt when my son was lost. I know how many tears I cried.

I won’t pretend to know the state of MJ’s salvation at the time of his death. I pray that he accepted God’s Gift of Salvation. But if he didn’t he was still loved. He was a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a father, a friend and yes, he was God’s creation. So there will be mourning over his passing, and if he died as a sinner, I think God must be grieving.

I don’t believe we should ever gloat over the death of a sinner. Do we think we won something? Should we dance at their “getting their just rewards?” Let’s never forget that we all deserve death, but for the Grace of God.

So, no, I won’t rejoice, I’ll weep!

New L5, GV and Booth Brothers Collaborative Work Coming

According to a recent Legacy Five Newsletter, L5, Greater Vision and the Booth Brothers have a collaborative project in the works.

Shannon in Sacramento, CA asks "I've been hearing a rumor about you getting together with the Booth Brothers and Greater Vision to record a CD, but I've never seen it released... what's up with that?"

Thanks for your question... we probably underestimated the complicated logistics of this project, but we're really glad to report that the "Jubilee" project is almost ready for release!

This was a brainchild of Scott Fowler, Michael Booth and Gerald Wolfe... to get all three groups together for a historic gathering in the studio to sing some of our favorite classic gospel songs together. Of course, as busy as all three groups are touring, it was not easy to facilitate. Finally, several months after it was launched, we're putting the finishing touches on what we believe will prove to be one of the most unique projects ever offered to the Southern Gospel Music world.

"Jubilee" features Legacy Five, The Booth Brothers, and Greater Vision singing the title song as well as several other classics like "Life Will Be Sweeter Someday" and "You Better Hurry Up"... and there are even some brand new songs that have that classic Southern Gospel sound like "Someone Who Cares For You." Be watching for a release announcement over the next few weeks.

Janet Paschal interviews the late Roger Bennett's wife, Debbie.

Unfortunately, I never knew Debbie well until recently. What I have discovered is that her suffering has added layer upon layer of deep resolve and rich insight. When you hear her, you’ll understand.
