Clouds Of Witness · an article by Bob Kilpatrick
My Dad spent his early years in the stately but austere Orphan House in Charleston, South Carolina. In his teens he worked at the Naval ship yard there and, like the prodigal son, spent his life in "riotous living". But after a World War II stint in the Army Air Corps as a flight engineer, God got hold of my Dad. He felt a call into the ministry and spent the rest of his life touching those who, like him, had no place to call home but the House of God. Read the rest of this article

Who knows the power of songs?Tribes, clans and nations have used them for centuries to rally enthusiasm. "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" gave courage to the soldiers of the Civil War. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" caught every Baby Boomer up in Beatlemania. Young lovers talk about "our song." Many of us remember being mightily moved by God by a particular song of worship. A young lady approached me after a concert a few years ago. She said "your music kept me alive." I smiled at what I thought was an exaggeration. She said "no, really, it kept me alive." Then she told me the story of her family's trouble with suicidal tendencies. Mom and Dad and six of the eight children in her family had taken their lives. She and a sister were the only ones remaining. She told me that when she felt depression coming on her she would put on my music and that would lift her out of it and into hope. Through our tears I was aware again of the power of song. "In my life, Lord, be glorified today."
Thanks for coming to visit me here! I hope you'll take the time to visit the various areas of the site- the Time Out devotional page, the Worship Leaders Corner, the Prayer Room, the Missions Corner. We change things every day, every week and every month, so come back often. And I hope you'll join with me to bring hope to those that so desperately need it. Our light shines brighter together!
