God’s Word says to note how the summary of an upright man’s life always issues in "Peace" that is, the wholeness redemption brings. I see that text (Ps.37:37) as a statement about Chuck Girard and his ministry.

I’ve known Chuck a long time long enough and in close enough a relationship to know his struggles as well as his achievements and everything I know points to one conclusion: Chuck is more than a gifted man, he is a godly one!

For my part, that counts more than a lot of other good things I know about him.

His music? It doesn’t need my commendation, though I always enjoy it immensely. His prophetic ministry? It doesn’t need my confirmation, though I will readily provide it, anytime. Burt beyond his artistry and his passion to keep on the edge of the Holy Spirit’s work in our time, I like this most: Chuck lets Jesus keep growing, gracing, and enabling him. Thus, I see two of our Savior’s most wonderful traits manifest in him: love and trustworthiness.

I like those things about Jesus: I see a lot of both in Chuck
