Crossroads EPAGE: Chuck Colson on Michael Jackson

Hello Saints; Some pretty powerful and truthful Words....... There's a Message in Michael's death that we all need to learn....     CROSSROADS E-Page     July 8, 2009   Devotional: FYI from Chuck Colson's BreakPoint The Pinnacle of Success? The Passing of a Pop Star July 8, 2009 I am an aging, white conservative Baptist. My taste in music runs from Bach to Mozart to Lawrence Welk. Indeed, my staff might say I am the un-hippest man alive. So you might think that I am surprised by the frenzied and non-stop media coverage of the death of Michael Jackson—perhaps the greatest pop star of all time. But I'm not. You may think that I don't "get" why his fans by the millions are grieving, buying up Jackson CDs like they are going out of style, holding vigils at his mansion, desperately trying to get tickets to his memorial service in Los Angeles. But I do. Here is why they have reason to mourn: Michael Jackson was, by any standard, a musical genius. His albums and his videos thrilled successive generations of pop fans. In fact, I was enthralled myself when I first watched his video presentation at an Epcot exhibit some 20 years ago. There was, indeed, no one quite like Michael Jackson. And now there will be no new albums, no comeback concert tour, no new dance moves. That's why they're mourning. But here's why they—and all of us—should mourn the real tragedy that Michael Jackson's story is. Andrew Sullivan at the Atlantic Monthly blog said it well: Michael Jackson "was everything our culture worships; and yet he was obviously desperately unhappy, tortured, afraid and alone." He was, as Sullivan noted, nothing but a creature of our culture, which puts "fame and celebrity" at its core, with money as its driving force, without regard for the person caught up in it or the character he exhibits. By numerous published accounts, Jackson was emotionally abused by his father, a man consumed by the idea that his child could be a superstar.  Jackson was a drug addict accused of pedophilia, given to all manner of bizarre behavior. He was, in the end, as Bob Herbert opined in the New York Times, "psychologically disabled, to the point where he was a danger to himself and others." It makes the scenes of adoring crowds pushing and shoving to get near yesterday's memorial service, and the non-stop live television coverage, all the more bizarre and tragic. We worship the celebrity for his fame, degenerate lifestyle not withstanding. Jackson achieved the summit of what this culture values most—fame—and paid for it with his life. And that is a tragedy. Life is filled with teaching moments. And for parents, this tragedy is an opportunity to talk with our children about what they really want out of life—what matters most. And it's also a time for parents to look in the mirror and ask what we really want for our kids. If the answer is success in life, then we had better know what that definition of success is.  That's because even Christian parents are not immune to the siren song of fame and fortune for their kids. It's great that your child can sing and dance. It's wonderful that he can hit a baseball a country mile. She just might win that academic scholarship to Harvard. But winning that scholarship, or playing in the major leagues, is not the Christian definition of success. Doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with your God is. Character matters. Not fame. No matter how un-hip that sounds.   Prayer Requests at Crossroads: Missionary of the Week: Bob & Ginger Prairie (to Trinidad) & Al Liaci (to Arizona) with Touch the World short-term Missions Families of the Week: the Mason family & Ethel Mayland   -Other Requests: -Youth Transition Team & search for Youth Director -Tony Pasquale's mom - recovery  at home; Tony's brother Michael with cancer -Richie Rachwal - recovery at Home -Rachel Manyange - Overlook hospital -Dan Bayer - Trinitas hospital Job Search for...Rae Ellen Woytowiez, Tom Seminara, Rob Pata, Alex Rey, Anthony Allen   Upcoming Dates at Crossroads: Wednesday:     7:30pm Prayer in Library     8:45pm Men's Softball field #5   Thursday:     6:30pm Worship Team Practice     9:00pm Men's Softball field #5   This Lord's Day - 8:30am & 11:00am Slaying Our Giant - 1 Samuel 17:31-47 Guest Speaker: Rev.

Michael Jackson's Accuser Admits HE LIED..

Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson June 27, 2009 After the sudden death of Michael Jackson, Jordan Chandler tells the truth. In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex.  The boy supposedly gave a detailed description of Jackson 's genitals.  The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers.  Eventually, he became addicted to these prescription medications. Now, maybe for the remorse of his death, Chandler decides to tell us the truth.  "I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson, but my father made me to tell only lies.  Now, I can't tell Michael how much I'm sorry and ask if he will forgive me."  Evan Chandler, the boy's father, was tape-recorded saying among other things, "If I go through with this, I win big-time.  There's no way I lose.  I will get everything I want, and they will be destroyed forever." Jordan was under the influence of a controversial father who told his son to say that Jackson had touched his penis.  Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer's genitals. "Now for the first time i can't bare to lie anymore.  Michael Jackson didn't do anything to me, all of it was my father's lies to escape from being poor." Note from Lewis: I feel the most important parts of the video at the link below are the quotes from various reports submitted at the time of the charges.  They are mostly from the police who were conducting the investigation.  If you take just a few moments to read them, I believe you will find they are quite enlightening. At the end of the video is a wise old saying, "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons!"
