I was listening to Wilkerson preach on YOUTUBE last night, it said was from 1973. Was stunned. Shocked. Flabbergasted. I had heard some of his preaching before but long forgotten this guy. Now it's all I can think about today. Any comments?

At 13, Justin Franich was smoking pot, cigarettes, and drinking alcohol. By 15, the pastor’s kid had already moved from cocaine to the highly addictive amphetamine called “crystal meth.” Today, Franich wants to pay tribute to the late David Wilkerson, the evangelical pastor and founder of the Christian recovery program Teen Challenge, for giving him a second chance at life. “I am definitely forever grateful for the work that he did because without his obedience, I would have been one of those thousands upon thousands who wouldn’t be here today,” said Franich, now program director of Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge,...

One Bishop asked, “Is there no further word: How should the righteous respond to such a word?” I can only answer by sharing what the Holy Spirit is speaking to my own heart and what I am to do. I shared that I was led in a practical way to lay aside a month’s supply of food — because I have witnessed the panic...
