"Then he (the criminal) said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You
come into Your kingly glory!"
And He answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in paradise."
(Luke 23:42-43)
One of the most moving songs from American country-western singer Marty Robbins'
iconic 1959 album, "Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs" the story of a young
outlaw who comes to faith in Jesus Christ after falling in with a gang of outlaws
was a reflection of the balladeer's own Christian faith.
Once when asked if he believed that God had played a role in his career, Mr. Robbins
told his interviewer: "I started praying for this long before I ever got it, and long
before I ever got into the business. Because I do believe in prayer. And I prayed
for all these things, and God gave me the strength to get them. I have never
set up any particular goal. Never. I just let it happen. Because I knew
it was going to happen."
