As the Coleraine meetings continued into their 19th and last week, on Sunday 28th May 2000 Mr Murray McCandless announced that the final meeting would be Wednesday 31st May. The meeting then began with a hymn that had become a favourite in the meetings, “It’s all taken away”. Murray then preached on the man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho (Lu 10:30-36) as a picture of someone on the broad road to destruction. Peter Orasuk followed with a mighty message on “son remember”, “remember Lot’s wife” and “Lord remember me”. Make sure you listen to the powerful story of the “tortoise shell comb”. After speaking about “Lot’s wife” Peter Orasuk closed by quoting Albert Ramsay’s solemn poem:
Sad sad the day, when sinners turn away,
From light and love and everlasting day,
To dark damnation, endless night of gloom,
Awaiting sinners just beyond the tomb.
Mourn, heaven, mourn, let earth be clothed in black,
That tragic moment when a soul turns back;
Turns to its fate of everlasting gloom.
Awaiting sinners just beyond the tomb.
