GREG LAURIE, God's Amazing Grace When The Lord Calls A Loved One Home

Greg Laurie is senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, a ‘mega church’ based in Riverside, California. Harvest holds numerous crusades in the USA and other parts of the world annually, when thousands receive Christ Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.


Christopher Laurie, eldest son of Pastor Greg Laurie and Cathe Laurie, died in a car accident on July 24, 2008. He was only 33 years old and had served as the art director at Harvest Christian Fellowship for the past three years. In addition to his parents, Christopher is survived by his wife, Brittany, and daughter, Stella, as well as his brother Jonathan. Christopher and his wife are expecting another daughter in November.

Here is Greg’s amazingly grace filled and courageous testimony on July 27, courtesy of GREG’s BLOG, http://blog.greglaurie.com/.

"But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 (New Living Translation)

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
