Recalling back in 2007, deployed to Iraq for the second time, when I really started to come out of the world and live my life for our Lord Jesus Christ, I started to listen to Greg Laurie, as it was something I could download and listen to on the roads of Iraq from my Ipod. My fellow soldier and I would listen to his preaching before every mission and often I would lead our convoy in prayer before going out into danger on the roads of Iraq. My nick name was reverend Turner, it was given to me and I had no choice but to take it. I look back, smile and laugh thinking about those moments with my fellow soldiers. We were family, we watched out for each other, didn’t always like each other but we did love each other to the point of giving our life for each other if necessary. I think that we, as believers in Christ, should have that same love for one another. God wants us to have that kind of love for our brothers (believers in Christ). Why is it so hard? It’s not, if we are in Christ and we love Jesus Christ, we will love those who are in Christ with us. It’s a tell tale sign of being saved. One night before a mission we were sitting in our truck listening to Greg Laurie, I told my buddy we should record ourselves singing the song that’s always played before Greg starts teaching. He agreed but when I started to sing I guess he changed his mind because it was only me singing in the video. Well I’m attaching this video for your enjoyment. God bless you and keep you and shine His face upon you in Christ Jesus! Matthew Turner
