I’ve studyed this sort of thing in high school. I’m not a hillsong believer but I do have respect for all religions and through my experiance, I can see that Micheal must have been in such pain in order for him to commit such a herendous crime.
I know that when you are hiding such a secret that you know will land you in so much greif, your mind will go into overload and therefore you can end up doing or even become someone that is not normally you. So I thought I would write in to say that even though I’m shocked. I do feel sorry for him. I mean, he kept his addiction for so long that it just completly took over him.
So I don’t know if Micheal is till preaching but if he was I’d give him my full support…cause I know what he must be going through

I was as shocked as anyone else but this cancer wasnt a cancer in the body but in the soul. It took over him and cought up and though we may prosecute his songs for being a hypocritical, they dont lose their meaning. It doesnt matter who made it or sang it cause it provided an amazing message. God bless

Im sorry if I sounded a bit harsh about Michael. Yes Judas betrayed Jesus but now if we fall or sin we can be forgiven and helped. Judas became very sad after that but didn’t realise he could be redeemed.

We have forgiveness if we repent and mean it. We have the freedom to face our weaknesses, tell God about them and be healed. I think just some people need sound advice and counselling too, something that may have been lacking for Michael in his world.

In response to Lea I have to say I don’t think the Apostles lied for years and deceived everyone, OH that’s right there was one “judas”.

Please just get real, this is wrong on so many levels. But I have to agree with the commenets Michael may be a result of a system, that’s not working…..perhaps

Michael is just so human, he is beyond that, he is, to put it nicely “unwell”. enough inverted commas

Pray for him, pray for that church, pray for God to heal that poor family and that church.

Pray that every believer has a conscience about their own stuff and get help

has anyone thought he may need some alcohol addiction intervention ? But seriously, if he needs to appear strong and christ like, let him. He has a duty to lead the church.

Hi, after reading Pastor Michael’s story I was deeply touched and I pray that he be healer. God is a Healer! and the I belive his whole family especially his lovely wife will be restored as well. I love the powerful song he wrote, unfortunately I can’t get a copy anywhere? I would like to buy one pleas let me know where I could get this.

i heard about this story a few weeks ago, but reasearched it for the first time tonight, evenutally coming across this blog.

at my first read of the posts, i became concerned w/ ppls response to the MG situation. particularly because of what the Bible has to say about forgiveness, judgement, prayer, and other topics of the like in dealing w/ this intense ordeal.

i was refreshed however, the further i read, in seeing the standard of Truth for all our lives [that is the Word of God] shine it’s light as it always does.

in particular through hummm, and MikeH. sound wisdom, friends.

and Darren, you’re handling this blog awesomely

it brings me joy to see brothers and sisters COMMINUCATE during situations like these!

may we always strive to be the united body under the head of Christ, rooted and grounded in the truth of His Word, drawing others to this great love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness he has so freely poured out upon us.
