Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has died, & it is the biggest story in the world. It's the biggest story here in Peru, on Page 1 of all the newspapers here, & the lead story on all the national Peruvian TV news, & I know it's also the lead story wherever in the world that you are doing church or ministry. It will be for weeks & months on end.

I know nothing about Michael Jackson's spiritual walk, but I do know this: He now is standing before God & giving an account of himself & his life.

We will all do this one day.

Romans 14:12 (NIV) - "So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God."

Michael Jackson's death gives us a golden opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ w/ those all around us. I'm sure that 99% - if not 100% - of the conversations that you've had in the last 24 hours have included talk about Michael Jackson's death. It'll continue to be this way for weeks & months on end. Take advantage of this opportunity to leverage these conversations with the gospel message.
