A new year is a great time to reflect on the previous year and think about the year ahead. It's a great time to evaluate how we're doing and where we're going. For some of us, this year may be the last. So we want to make sure we're living our lives the way they ought to be lived.

Greg Laurie

Greg Laurie (* 1952) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor, Evangelist und Buchautor, der in Kalifornien die Megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship gründete. Geprägt von der Jesus-People-Bewegung, wurde er vor allem durch überregionale Großevangelisationen wie die „Harvest Crusades“ sowie weltweite Medien- und Buchveröffentlichungen bekannt. Seine Auslegungen betonen eine leicht verständliche, alltagsnahe Heilsgewissheit, während seine politische Nähe zu konservativen Kreisen sowie zivilrechtliche Klagen wegen mangelnder Aufsicht bei Missbrauchsfällen in früheren Missionsprojekten der Gemeinde Gegenstand öffentlicher Kritik sind.

The Sabbaths are our great cathedrals; and our Holy of Holies is a shrine that neither the Romans nor the Germans were able to burn.
