Arthur
Pastor Brian is out of town for a couple of weeks and I filled the preaching slot last Saturday night. I spoke out of Genesis 12 and 13 about Abram’s faith journey. It was a great night. I love mixing it up and doing something different. I was able to pray with tons of people and have some great conversations about God’s call on their lives.
The most memorable part of the night had to be a guy named Arthur. I saw him come in and sit in the back. He was in a wheelchair because he was missing a limb. At the end of the message he came forward and said he wanted to pray to rededicate his life to Christ. I asked him how long he felt like it had been since he had a relationship with Jesus. He said it had been 35 years. I asked him what happened 35 years ago that caused him to walk away. He lifted up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo that said “USAF”. I said, “The horrible things that you’ve seen in war caused you to question how their could be a God who would allow them.” He said, “I watched my wife and son get blown up in the Vietnam War.” Then he said that he knew God still had a plan for his life. We prayed. As he left he said, “I’ll see you next week.”
