I read this morning that my good friend (though we’ve never met in person) Pete Wilson hung out with C.C. Deville from Poison the other night. I know, that one kind of freaked you out a bit. It’ll be OK. I promise.

Pete got an unusual pastoral request to meet CC backstage at their concert in Nashville to share some teachings, answer questions and such. Not too long ago, CC gave his life to Christ and everything is still new to him (and me too). So, Pete took his own entourage with him because that’s how you roll with rock stars.

Check out this video of their time at the concert.

You probably have a lot of questions. What all went on at the show? How could a pastor do this? What about…?

Let me leave you with this.

Matthew 9:10-13 (NLT)
10 Jesus is eating with “disreputable” sinners.
11 “When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”
12 “When Jesus heard this he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor-sick people do.”
13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Where would you refuse to go and talk about Jesus?

Congratulations CC! Way to go Pete and Happy Birthday!
