A Christmas Miracle

Veteran worship singer Joshua Mills recently spoke with CP Voice about his new album 'Christmas Miracle' and his desire to make people pay attention to God's miracles during the season.




This video contains the first two minutes of a seven minute interview by CP Voice (CP stands for Christian Post). During the interview Joshua Mills talks in cliches the whole time. He just strings words together with no regard for the truth. He says whatever pops into his head and doesn't even notice when he contradicts himself. He starts with this:
In recording the album, which took quite a few months, we just kept on having these things happen through the recording process that seemed like a miracle along the way. I guess we kind of joked about it like, 'Oh, that's a Christmas miracle.' We kept on saying that and all of a sudden I realized this whole album really is a Christmas miracle.
That's the very definition of gullibility. He kept on saying it was a Christmas miracle and after repeating the phrase many times he convinced himself that it really was a miracle!



Then he says:
I would like to bring the miracles back to Christmas...
Talk about delusions of grandeur. He says  he  wants to bring miracles back to Christmas. I thought the performance of miracles rested solely within god's bailiwick.



What comes next would have to be the most blatant example of Christian hypocrisy that I have heard during the 2014 Christmas season. Joshua Mills is sitting in a television studio, advertising his new Christmas album currently on sale to the general public, and he has the audacity to say:
I think sometimes Christmas becomes over commercialized...
But he would not have noticed the hypocrisy because he wasn't actually trying to convey any real information to his audience. He was merely repeating one of the standard cliches that Christians repeat every year at Christmas time. He said it because it's part of the Christian spiel. Everybody else says it, so he does too.



He went on to say:
Bringing the miracles back to Christmas just seems like a natural thing...
And here's me thinking that the one thing that made miracles stand apart from any other event was that they are NOT natural; they are supernatural.



Then the reporter asks:
What's one of the most amazing miracles that you've witnessed in your life?
And Mills replies:
Oh gosh, you know, I've seen a lot of people get healed, which has been tremendous miracles. I've seen a lot of people just get blessed in such unusual ways, so it would be hard to put my finger on anything, but I know that god is a miracle working god...
So he's got nothing! He says his life is chockablock full of miracles but as soon as he is asked to describe one, he fails to deliver. He's probably got all sorts of excuses for his failure to deliver, but I think he is just telling lies for Jesus.
