With the recent death of ‘Michael’ Jackson, I’d like to remind all of the ‘Christian’ bloggers out there who are thanking him and speaking of the ‘joy’ that he brought to be cautious.

First of all, joy according to the world is not true joy, but only as the world defines it. The world also has a love, and a happiness, and a peace, yet those truly in Christ will have nothing to do with such deceptions.

One Christian blogger actually thanked Michael for ‘helping him becoming a Christian full-on’. I truly hope not. This particular blogger went on to describe God as having spoken to him “through the gifted vocals and the weird words to do what he [Michael] does? Thanks Michael.”

“Frightening” is the only word I have to describe such a statement by a professing Christian.

Folks, God does not speak through cultural icons who convert to Islam. Satan does. The God of the Scriptures has spoken once in these last days “by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds”.

If you are a professing Christian, and a blogger, I implore you to stop this exaltation of an enemy of God. Was Jackson gifted? Certainly, and his gifts were a grace of God, but not grace unto salvation according to Michael’s own profession.

It is a sobering thought, one we should all pause and contemplate, that Michael Jackson, adored by the world, may now be suffering the eternal wrath of Almighty God.
