  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

At Soul survivor in the summer we were taught the song Healer, We all heard Mikes storyand many were touched by his story, but i saw the lyrics of tat song touch peoples hearts too
A few weeks late we learnt the Story of Mike, of the tragic wed of lies he had spun and got caught in

Now i still love the song, and i believe it is an amazing song.
We have sung it one of my youth churches and everyone agreed its right to not budge the song

However at my main church we wish to play it at out youth group and have done once before, when i bought this up with the worship leader of the main church he told me no we weren't do it but i feel strongly that i wish to play it and i feel that God still wants to move people thorugh this song

Any advice on how i go about this

Thanx

I think the song is really good as well. God doesn't stop using us if we mess up. If he did, he wouldn't have anyone to work with. In fact he says that 'the gifts are irrevocable'. I guess just keep talking to your worship leader about grace and how good the song is in itself, and it's a shame that people arn't able to be blessed by it because of the writers failings. I mean do we stop listening to Terry Macalmon or Geoff Bullock because they fell to adultery?

Agree with you bluelime2 you can still get inspiration from things even if people have messed up. Sometime we think of Worship songs as too holy it is not the song but the heart of the person singing it. Although with this song it may have to be explained first, else people will be singing thinking do they know about the guy who wrote this.
