Pastor Lake’s family is suing the contractor & manufacturer of the baptistry. Apparently the water heater developed a break in the electrical insulation, causing the water to become electrically hot. When he grabbed the grounded microphone, the circuit was completed and the pastor was electrocuted.
This is a good arguement for the use of isolation transformers or natural gas water heaters.

I don’t wish to be rude or insensitive – and my sincere condolences to Pastor Lake’s family – but one should question the wisdom of anyone who would stand half submerged in a tank of water with an electrical device in hand and then challenge the Father to “surprise” him.
Perhaps God’s will in this instance was to remind people how dangerous it can be to behave stupidly.

Right on, Shawn! I wish ALL Christians were dead too. If only you were God.

The way I see it – he is where I would like to be – I am jealous.
May God be glorified in this tragedy and His graces pour freely on the family and friends.
And through it all, I pray that people come to faith in Christ – that is what we are marketing after all…

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
I have a hard time figuring out how God uses things for the good in and around my life, let alone in others lives. Regardless, I truly believe that God uses all things for the greater good of those who love Him. Usually, that’s not the same as the “immediate good” or “this is what I think is good” but God’s perspective on life is infinitely better than mine, and I trust that He knows what He’s doing.
Faith isn’t believing God can do something
Faith isn’t believing God will do something.
Faith is believing God is doing something.
