Dear friends,
Have you ever heard a sermon that you enjoyed so much that you would have been glad to drive hours to hear it? I have experienced that several times, including during our visit to Connecticut, to see our daughter, Candace, and Richie and his family during American Thanksgiving. One of the elders of Cheshire Bible Chapel, who officiated at Candace and Richie’s wedding in August, preached a tremendous sermon on the tenth chapter of the gospel of John. Knowing that the Lord Jesus is our shepherd gives us wonderful assurance that we can trust Him to take great care of us!
Every day they pass me by,
I can see it in their eyes;
Empty people filled with care,
headed who knows where.
On they go through private pain,
living fear to fear.
Laughter hides the silent cries,
only Jesus hears.
People need the Lord.
People need the Lord.
At the end of broken dreams,
He’s the open door.
People need the Lord.
People need the Lord.
When will we realize
people need the Lord?

Karen and I had the privilege of meeting Steve Green, an inspirational Christian recording artist, in Buffalo, NY some years ago.

Scripture for the weekend: “When he puts forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.” John 10:4 (NASB)
By His grace,
