You will regret not doing so as you mature in your walk with Jesus, or when he is no longer around. However, these things are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall soon follow this life, when all the tears are wiped away by our precious Savior (Romans 8:18-19, 2 Corinthians 4:7-18, Revelation 21:3-4).ĭo love and pray for your pastor and his family, whoever that may be, now or in the future. It is true that the calling of Pastor is not always a bed of roses, and sometimes brings great emotional suffering for various reasons that the sheep seldom realize or understand. On a personal level, I would also like to make clear that I am thankful to Jesus for the opportunity and privilege to serve the church (Jesus’ sheep) in these last days before His return. I am not endorsing all that is said here, especially as it pertains to Kayla’s letter (written in a time of unimaginable grief), but I think all of us can let the Holy Spirit speak to our heart about the what ifs in our own lives as we ponder what these people have written. In this handout I have included: the news article from CBN, Pastor Jack Hibbs’ (Calvary Chapel Chino Hills) thoughts that he posted on his facebook page when he heard of a “man down”, and a letter posted by Andrew’s wife, Kayla, describing what she would say to Andrew if she could.
But I can join with millions of others in grieving for those who are affected by Pastor Andrew’s suicide. Note from Pastor Kevin Lea: I know nothing of this pastor, his church, family, or life.
