SERVE
September 8, 2024
Amy Loughren was a single mom of two young children. She was hiding a heart condition from her employer, Somerset Medical Center in New Jersey, until her insurance kicked in. She worked at night in intensive care with Charles Cullen who helped her hide her condition.
However, detectives asked her to help them determine if Cullen was killing patients. She had to go against her friend and risk her life to discover that he was putting digoxen and insulin in patients’ IV bags, thus murdering them.
She willingly wore a wire in order to meet Cullen in a diner. The wire could’ve damaged her heart because she wore a pacemaker, but she was willing to take the risk. Cullen didn’t confess to being a murderer at the diner, but he said enough that the detectives arrested him.
Later Loughren was able to get him to confess to 40 murders. Twenty-nine have been confirmed. Some researchers believe he killed over 400 patients in nine hospitals in two states.
If not for Loughren’s risking her life, Cullen he might be murdering people to this day. Loughren was a good nurse, a true servant to her patients and to humanity.
Sunday I’ll be preaching on “Serve” from Mark 1:29-39. We’ll look at “Be Saved to Serve,” verses 29-31; “Bring the Ill to Jesus,” verses 32-34; and “Have the Right Priorities,” verses 35-39 We’ll be studying the actions of two servants, Peter’s mother-in-law, and Jesus, the ultimate servant. Won’t you serve him Sunday and come to Sunday School and worship?
Love,
Jim Meek
