44 years ago the late John Lennon said the Beatles were more famous than Jesus and Christianity was on its way out. Some years later he sang, "imagine there was no religion."
So it is with some surprise that I can tell you that Ringo Starr says he has found God. Of course Ringo like the rest of the Beatles got heavily involved with the Maharishi Yogi, unfortunately all he did for them was to take a lot of money. But if dear old Ringo has found the Lord then we must rejoice and of course it means one more drummer for the heavenly band.
It is so easy to say, sure, but for how long? Or who will he follow tomorrow? My parents were convinced that I 'would get over it' and become the old Norman again. 37 years later and I'm far from 'over it.'
The Bible talks much about fruit and the need for every Christian to reveal their Christian faith by their lifestyle. Paul in his letter to the Church at Galatia contrast the fruit of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. James says my works( fruit ) prove my Christianity.
So, lets pray for Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr that he will live out the rest of his life following the one who has no interest in fame, but saves to the uttermost.
