A quote from Charles Stanley's devotional for the day Ken died: "God doesn't require us to have perfect lives in order to finish strong. We can live abundantly and be ready to meet our Maker by surrendering, walking victoriously with Christ, and serving others." Ken was a good and faithful servant.
