Exodus 34:6-7 - "And He [the Lord] passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, 'The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.' "


I was trying to find another funny video for you guys. I remembered that my dad was the sound guy for a Christian band in the 70's so I started to look up some of their stuff on YouTube....because I figured it was more legit to make fun of my dear old dad than anyone else. What I ended up coming across were a series of videos called Jesus Freaks, from a tv show in the 70's. Clicking on the first one I began researching this one guy called Lonnie Frisbee. Ok I don't think I need to say anything else...his name says it all.



You may be wondering, what my problem is or why anyone would find something like this interesting? I love learning about church history. I am sure many of you are familiar with the Vineyard Church. Mr.Frisbee was very active alongside John Wimber in pioneering the Vineyard Movement.Lonnie Frisbee however, was a homosexual and eventually left his wife and kids to pursue a homosexual lifestyle. And it wasn't exactly a secret to anybody.I grew up going to a Vineyard church. It ended up crashing into pieces when it was discovered that the pastor had a second identity and was having phone sex with young girls, and a huge pornography problem. I am not excusing his sin, but it makes me wonder about the origin of his sin. The Bible speaks about generational sin, and I wonder if sexual sin became prevalent in the Vineyard churches by being launched alongside a man deep in sexual sin? Maybe that is why so many establishments that are made in Jesus' name eventually suffer a heavy blow, because it was not founded completely under people who have died to their flesh.

Getting into all of this reminded me to keep allowing God to search my heart for any dark corners I don't want him to see, even if dealing with it involves too much pain or humiliation.
