People Need the Lord

Several years ago there was a song that was popular on Christian radio stations that still strikes me as a powerful reminder of a central truth: People Need the Lord. “Every day they pass me by, I can see it in their eyes. Empty peole filled with care. Headed who knows where. On they go…

Frankly, it was uncomfortable. This was the first time I was back at the church I was raised in since I had become Orthodox. And what made it more disconcerting was they had asked me to speak at a Sunday night service. Let me set the stage for you. This was the Pentecostal church where…

We weren’t doing the worship for you anyway!” And yes, that didn’t…

All I can say was it was embarrassing! I could have sworn the person I ran up to in the store was a buddy of mine from High School. I just knew this was going to be a fun reunion, and we’d laugh about that time we all… and we’d talk about the old days…

Today a widow receives her only son back from the darkness of death and with this miracle, she is saved from poverty and grief. So are we all saved from the same when Christ stops our funeral procession of our life separated from Him Who is the only True Life we can ever know.
