Heaven is a place where tragedy turns to triumph, sadness to joy, disability to ability.

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.

Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains… Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man’s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can’t bite; the shadow of a sword can’t kill.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
