Just prior to Mariah Carey performing a rendition of The Jackson 5 classic hit, "I'll Be There", Pastor Smith, a friend of the Jackson family, opened the memorial service for Michael Jackson. His opening remarks included this very powerful statement, "The King of Pop must bow his knee to the King of Kings." So what was the personal faith of Michael Jackson? And who was this Pastor who brought such spiritual authenticity to a spectacle the world has never seen before?

The Counsel Of Many!
Need Help or Advice On An Issue In Your Life?
Tell us your situation and Drew will ask the listeners of TDMS!
This week on the Counsel Of Many: A man wants to know if his pot-smoking pastor has gone a little too far with grace.
“I have been attending a church in my home town. The preaching is inspiring, the programs are excellent, the fellowship meaningful, the worship is powerful and the theology is dead on. However, I and a few others in the congregation have some growing concerns about our head pastor’s views on grace and liberties. Is our pastor taking grace for granted? Just the other day he said from the pulpit "I think we all should have a few pet vices, just to remind ourselves of our need for grace. I think God allows us them for that purpose." Our pastor has admitted on several occasions that he has a fondness for weed, marijuana. He admits to using it on a bi-weekly basis, as he says "delayed gratification and denial of pleasure can often be the precursor to a deeper understanding of the pain of the crucified Christ and developing of a newness of empathy towards him who hung on a tree. I deny myself my special vice in order to feel the joy of a resurrected spirit post denial." When asked about controversial topics such as abortion and gay marriage his favourite response is "to each their own, grace will win out in the end." He has also written off the seriousness of many other social ills. He said to our church youth group recently, "Gambling, porn, smokes and pot may hurt you a bit. However religion and denial of the two wooden beams will get you a mouse like existence, running the wheel until you self improve yourself into thinking you don't need his grace. Skip the pot if you wish, but don't you dare deny a love filled grace." While I think this church is a gem, I am uncomfortable with our pastor’s flaunting of freedom and disrespect for grace. Should we leave? Should we try to have this guy removed? Should we suggest to him that he tone down the grace rhetoric a bit?”
