Hope

I watched the Harvest Crusade today and was deeply touched. This year was different than most, because only weeks ago Greg Laurie lost his oldest son, Christopher Laurie suddenly and tragically in a car accident. Most men would find that a good reason to take a year off from doing their normal routine, but you can see that Greg has a passion in his heart for that Lord. It seems that in the tide of this tragic circumstance in his life it has only deepened his resolve to preach the gospel more earnestly. They showed a very touching tribute to Christopher Laurie right before Greg gave his message and the first thing Greg said was, "That's my boy." It made me cry hearing him say that and still does just writing it down. Oh the pain and sorrow that family has suffered through and what they're still going to go through. They know that their sorrow is only for a time and they will have eternity together, they are praising God for His sweet salvation and that Christopher accepted Christ as is his savior.


Here is an article on Greg's reflection on the sudden loss of his son.
