He went peacefully in his sleep to be with the Lord. Please pray for his wife Anne. Pray for the church, Coral Ridge Presbyterian in Ft Lauderdale, Fl. Thank you. He was a great warrior for God. I rejoice that his work is done.

Sky,

I've been reading about his passing in the Christian blogosphere this evening, so I came over here to express my sympathies and will indeed be praying for his wife and the church.

Though I had not heard of him before, I see he was a great man of God and well known by many. Here is a link to Pulpit Magazine where John MacArthur talks about his passing.

I hadn't realized he was Coral Ridge; we were just down there a couple Februarys ago, in Hollywood. Take care, Sky.

<font color="purple"> Thank you all. The viewing is Wednesday and the funeral Thursday. I will try to be in the choir; they have so many of us that we might have to use a loft also. The service will be webcasted later, and TBN will air a delayed broadcast of the funeral, in it's entirety. (TBD)

In lieu of flowers etc, he asked that donations to the causes of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church be made. He didn't want crying either My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning. but rejoicing. (Easy for him to say, he isn't the one missing him!)

My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning. It's going to be quite a time of it, for me... sadness and rejoicing?

It's hard to feel two seemingly opposite feelings at the same time, isn't it? But also amazing that you can. My thoughts will be with you.

Love,
Rap

Such sweet sorrow.

I have all but decided not to participate. Not that I don't dearly want to, but that because of the crowd expected, the parking is off site and will utilize busses instead. I just don't do bus steps well. I already was debating about the steps necessary to get to the choir loft... and my sacrum went out from just one step up this last week. Not to mention (which I am) an issue I'm having with one of my eyes I had surgery on this summer. (Don't know I can read music under spotlights.)

Sigh. My mind says I can't do it. My heart desperately wants to go and add to the group showing that this was truly a great man of God! My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning.

Thank you. My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning.

[b]Dr Dobson stated that he doesn't understand why God took Dr Kennedy now, with things in this country being in such turmoil and many issues on a balancing stone or such... the more I think about him, the more I miss him already.

Someone recently called me their anchor ((hugs))) Dr Kennedy was mine.

To view the service, it's webcast :http://coralridge.httpsvc.vitalstrea...om/webcast.htm

Sky it's possible he (God) needed Dr. Kennedy with him for purposes unknown to us, we need all the angels above to get us through this world and he is now an angel
Love ya

Thanks (((Angie))) Oh, I can rationalize it, a few different ways in fact: The latest is that Dr Kennedy could be seen coming a mile away...and maybe God has someone who can sneak in and catch culprits before they realize it. My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning.

Sometimes God needs to prepare the way for new leadership for new times. Some leaders are perfect for the time that they lead us through, but then their job is finished and someone else needs to be in that place. And the old leaders will stay busy of course, just at a new address.

Sky,

Did you decide to go to the services, or did you stay home?

I felt the same way about my minister at our church in Orlando, FL, when we lived there.

I am sorry for your loss.

With love and hugs,

EJ

I stayed home and watched the live webcast. The issue with all the dignitaries made it too difficult to attend and sing My Pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy died this morning.
