David Wilkerson, Rest in Peace

What can be said, a true and faithful servant of the Living Lord has been called home, here is one of his most telling messages.

However, even though this was meant as simply a tribute to a great servamt of God who has passed over, I need write more, for the 'moderator' seems to have decided that this hub is substandard.

So who was David Wilkerson?

David Wilkerson was the man who started the Times Square Church in New York City.

He arrived in New York in 1958 to work with gang members and drug addicts, and from that work came a best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade.

In 1987, David Wilkerson returned to "the crossroads of the world" to establish Times Square Church.

Since then he has stood as a beacon of hope to many who were changed by his preaching, convicted by his strong messages and spent many years bringing new and challenging concepts to pastors worldwide.

He was insitu for the 9/11 demolition of the twin towers, and offered releif to many who were affected.

His messages have not always been accepted by many in mainstream Churchianity, but who cares?

My son works for Metro Ministries in the same city, New York, he and his co workers have regularly visited the Times Square church, and been fed and nurtured by that body of believers.

In a world where it's easier to walk on the other side of the street and not interfere, it's the David Wilkerson men of this world, that bring us all to the reality that there is so much more we can do to help those who, by circumstance of birth are less fortunate than we are.

We sit and read and write (or moderate) this in the comfort of our homes, by the Grace of God, when we could have been born into dark streets of despair, where violence and drugs and rebellion are our options, with no hope unless and until someone who knows the way out can find us, stay with us, work with us, be there for us and be prepared to stay the course in the hope that we, the disadvantaged, may finally find the one tru source of liberty from desperation.

Jesus Christ, Lord of All, King of Kings and who loves us, whether we are a David Wilkerson, or Trevonne Winn.... who was Trevonne Winn? well he was made famous for a moment or two recently, in the video below.

He lived and died two streets from my sons place of work, killed for no obvious reason.

Do I worry about my sons safety, sure I do, does he, nah! "I got God protecting me" was his answer.

David Wilkerson has died, but God has many other servants to carry on his works.

Will you cross the street to stay uninvolved?

Do yourself a favor, watch BOTH these videos before you hop hubs from here.

And I thank our moderators for making me write what needed to be said.
