Tonight at Riverbend Festival

Stephen Curtis Chapman is the featured performer tonight on the Cocoa-Cola stage. He and his wife, MaryBeth and family have faced an unspeakable tragedy with grace because of their trust in God's promise to give us strength in times of trouble. Besides their birth children, they adopted two little girls from China. The youngest one, Maria,age 5, was accidentally run over in their driveway by the oldest son. The hope of heaven is manifest as I heard the testimony of the family on the radio and that same grace has allowed Stephen to continue to sing of that truth.
It is the same hope we offer to men and women hurting after the regrets of an abortion decision set in and threaten to drown the individual as they relive the tragedy.
But from our Heavenly Father's words we hear another perspective of comfort.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15
