How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.

David Wilkerson

David Wilkerson (1931–2011) war ein US-amerikanischer pfingstlich-evangelikaler Pastor, Evangelist und Buchautor, der vor allem durch seine Arbeit unter Straßenbanden in New York City bekannt wurde. Er gründete das weltweite Suchtrehabilitationsprogramm Teen Challenge, baute die Times Square Church in Manhattan auf und verfasste den autobiografischen Bestseller „Das Kreuz und die Messerhelden“. Heute gilt er vielen Bibellesern als eindringliche Mahnstimme für Buße, Gebetsernst und Heiligung, während seine detaillierten und teils nicht eingetroffenen Endzeitwarnungen auch Kritik und Sensationalismusvorwürfe hervorriefen.
