“… Heroes waiting in the shadows …” That is my favorite line in one of the Okie’s songs as it is the picture of the men of NGL. Do you realize how many men have gone with us and later gone on to further work for our Lord? Don’t be left out! (“For such a time as this.”)
I grew up in the 50’s with “Leave it to Beaver.” One could have to stay after school for chewing gum in class. Then we had the 60’s with the Hippie movement and the bitterness over the Vietnam War. It was a time of rebellion with the status quo. After I got out seminary in the late sixties, I was ready to be a pastor. However, the drug culture was going strong and our seminary training was more in line with the “Leave it to Beaver” era. I was frustrated and turned to the “Jesus Movement” to give me a way to overcome the sterility that was in the church at the time. Actually NGL came about as a result of being a part of the Jesus movement as I saw the Lord do great things and we loved worshiping the Lord. We worshiped, did Jesus marches and believed the Lord was taking us with Him to the ends of the earth for His harvest. 40 countries later here we are in 2010!!!!
You and I are living in the greatest time in history to be a Christian. People feel hopeless with nowhere to turn. The economy is bad, the oil spill has gone on over a month, North Korea just shot down a South Korean war ship killing a lot of people, etc, etc. In such a time as this, God is calling for men to go forth as John the Baptist calling for repentance and turning to the Lord.
BOTTOM LINE: There is still time for you to recognize the call and come to the Indy 500 this weekend with No Greater Love Ministries. Sign up on line today at www.nogreaterlove.org
Love ya’s,
