A faithful servant of the Lord and a faithful friend to many, including me. His friendship was a conduit of God's unconditional love. Mike ran the race well. In his life and in his passing he shepherds us to Heaven. Thank you, Lord, for giving us Mike. Thank you that he will be the first to welcome us home!
Mike Russell lived this passage and inspired us to do the same. Maranatha!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
