Today one of my favorite pastor/teachers went home to be with the Lord. Pastor Chuck Smith left us so much on this earth. He was a constant in the body of Christ. His teaching of the Word of God was what drew so many to Jesus (Yeshua). His calm, gentle spirit brought peace to all who heard him.
In my younger days, when I had two babies (and was totally exhausted), I would tune in every day at 10:30 to listen to "The Word For Today." It was the most relaxing time of the day for me and on many occasions, the peace of the Lord would surround me. Also, when I had a hard time sleeping due to illness, just listening to Pastor Chuck brought a calm so I could sleep.
I will always be grateful for the ministry of Pastor Chuck. The Holy Spirit used Chuck to start one of the greatest works in the body of Messiah that I believe we have ever seen. His systematic teaching of the Word of God provided a firm foundation for those who were new to their faith. He will be greatly missed by so many. I pray that his family will be comforted through this very difficult time.
Very well said sister. I heard about it this morning around 3 or 4 am. Funny thing is i wasn't sad at all. I tried to picture him finally meeting Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed, but left such a legacy. I have to admit I am a bit sad even though we know where he is.
