A Sudden Death

Last week, Christopher Laurie, son of Evangelist and Pastor Greg Laurie, was killed in a tragic auto accident. Today, Pastor Jon Corson spoke at Harvest of his own suffering as he lost a wife and then a daughter to an automobile accident.

Jon spoke of the peace that passes understanding and encouraged his listeners to trust in God's sovereignty in all things.

Many things in this life we simply do not understand. God has His plan and purpose and it is in allowing something like this that we often struggle with His purposes. The Christian life is one of faith; we begin our life with God in faith and continue to trust Him from faith to faith. God is faithful and at times like this we must remind ourselves of His faithfulness.

Please continue to pray for Pastor Greg and the family, especially Christopher's wife, daughter and unborn daughter as they continue to morn Christopher's passing.

If anyone can empathize with Greg it is Jon.
