Sleight of hand and illusion with a Gospel message
 |
Q1: Do all your shows have a Gospel/Christian theme? A1: In short, no. I also perform for secular groups such as corporate office parties and other venues as well. However, my primary focus is that of performing Gospel magic for youth group events, outreach programs, and charity events in the interest of sharing the world's most important message; the Good News of Jesus Christ. Q2: What is your statement of faith? A2: I believe in God, the almighty creator of heaven and earth. I believe in the triunity of God; that God is eternally the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; the three being distinct, but not separate. I believe in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, God's only begotten son who came in the flesh, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died and buried and on the third day, rose and ascended into heaven where He is now seated at the right hand of the Father and He will return to judge both the living and the dead and reign for evermore. I believe all mankind are sinful and are therefore subject to God’s wrath and condemnation. I believe that everyone is in need of God's salvation. Mankind is absolutely unable to fulfill the heavy demands of God's righteousness, holiness and glory. Therefore, God, in sending His Only Begotten Son, has accomplished redemption for us through the shedding of Jesus' blood. I believe that salvation is a gift received by faith alone and is expressed in the individual’s recognition and repentance of sin, and the acceptance of the risen Messiah as Saviour, Lord and God. I believe in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ, before whom every knee in heaven and on earth will bow. And that there is no other name under Heaven by which we can approach the holy throne of God. Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man. I believe that immediately upon death, the soul of the believer is absent from the body, and present with the Lord. I believe in the ongoing work of sanctification by the Holy Spirit after redemption for the purpose of producing life changing fruit -- love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control. I believe that the 66 books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation are the only, exhaustive, inerrant and inspired word of God. Q3: Isn't magic forbidden by the Christian lifestyle? A3: I think this is best answered in an essay written by Robert H. Hill entitled, Should a Christian do Magic or Conjuring? |
