Please click the following link and read about Jay McKinley. And then pray. And if led, do something. This average, normal guy has more faith in his little finger than I probably will ever have in my entire life. I’m staggered by his conviction.

I’m having a really hard time with this one. Conviction is not a good thing in and of its self. Suicide bombers have loads of conviction. He left his family behind? He will die soon? If you or I were to do the same thing we would be a misguided (if not crazy or horrible) person. This seems to me like a politically correct version of the self-immolation committed by Buddhist monks in protest to oppression in Vietnam. I don’t see how this is anything like what the Apostles did. I can’t imagine Peter essentially killing himself in protest to the oppression of the Jews under Rome. I can imaging Jesus rebuking him for such an idea. This man may have more conviction than you or I, but I don’t know that it is something to be applauded any more than we should applaud any other so-called righteous act of suicide.
I don’t understand why I should see this as wise, good, or praise worthy.
