This Is Our God

great dvd - difficult to overcome the lie about cancer - ruined it for me (1 of 1 Found this Helpful)   November 15, 2008
I totally enjoyed the dvd, especially the song "healing" it moved me so much!! I wanted to know more about the writer/artist and how he was doing. I was so sad to learn that he lied about the cancer, it ruined the song for me, ruined the dvd, I can't watch it - I know people say, look beyond it, forgive him - no problem - he didn't SIN against me, no need for my forgiveness... I am not mad at him.

The issue is that watching the dvd lost the integrity (whole-ness) of the worship experience (when they, behind the scenes, put so much emphasis on the song and the writer "this is the most genuine our church has worshiped" or words to that effect - Darlene says) just seeing the people respond, so sincerely throughout the "concert" makes me sad.

I saw another Pastor with a similar response (to how I feel) and someone felt the need to take a shot at him for his disappointment in the dvd... I honestly felt like the dvd was a "sham" to watch after I found out about the cancer lie - I know they edited the new dvd - but how do you know if you will buy the cancer lie dvd?

If I would have been WARNED about the content (the lie about cancer) I probably would not have purchased the dvd - why? because there is no need to be reminded of the shallow motives of some people - I have incredible respect for Joel Houston & his parents - they are good people - it just sucks to be reminded of the depravity of man... what a bummer.

Album is a mighty work of God REGARDLESS of Mike G's revelation (1 of 1 Found this Helpful)   November 6, 2008
This is another amazing and blessed worship album by Hillsong! The songs are truly inspired by the Spirit and you will be blessed by this album. I stopped listening to secular music a year ago and having multiple praise and worship CD's from Hillsong has done wonders for my walk with the Lord. By now many people know that track 8, 'Healer' was written by Mike Guglielmucci who at the time of the recording proclaimed to have terminal cancer. Mike and his family have publicly announced this was not true and many people have taken such an offense to it and rightfully so. However, our God is a God of love, and He still loves Mike and we pray that Mike gets the healing and restoration that comes from Jesus. In the meantime, I will continue to claim the WORDS of the song as mine and ordained by God. He IS MY HEALER!! He is OUR HEALER!! Mike is only a man, but the WORDS he wrote are true and I will lift my voice and proclaim that truth for me and my family. I hope you are encouraged and blessed by this wonderful album.

If you are a fan of Hillsong worship albums, this will not disappoint. I was looking forward to hearing the song "Healer," and it has been such an encouragement. It's a great album for personal worship.
