What a blessing
We were touched and blessed by this service in memory of our dear brother Mr Cairns. The words from Revs Park, Barnes, and Douglas were very appropriate and stuck just the right note at such a time. Rev Greer's message on Stephen was a word in season,and turned our minds to glory, where the Lord's servant now dwells. The ministry of Alan Cairns continues through his many recorded sermons, books and pamphlets. Those of us who were his colleagues in ministry will continue to be inspired by his Christ-centred preaching, and his power in prayer. May we endeavour to make much of the Blood in our preaching as he did. "Live so as to be missed" was a quote from a man of God referenced by Dr Barnes. Dr Alan Cairns will surely be missed by the entire Free Church, and the wider Body of Christ. His work is done. Ours is yet to be completed. May we all work for the night is coming when man's work is o'er. We pray for Mrs Cairns, Frank and his family, and all who knew and loved the Lord's servant - Revelation 14:13
