Good morning friends! Well, I've made it back from Mississippi without having to say "y'al" even one time. Let me begin by expressing my great concern over the recent events that have unfolded in Israel and here at home. The continued reports of the terroristic attacks against the nation and the people of Israel is quite disturbing. Then, when you consider the added threats made by Iran of a pre-empted strike against Israel should cause great alarm for us all!
Then when we see the protest being made by young people in Ivy League Colleges claiming that it was Israel that was responsible for the bombing of the hospital in Gaza when all evidence shows that it was a missel fired by Hamas that misfired that hit this hospital. I applaud the financial supporters of Harvard that have stated that they will no longer support this university because of these protests that Harvard has allowed to happen. Then we see a member of Congress joining these protestors declaring the same lie as being a fact. What has our country become when our leaders are spreading propaganda and lies to support their personal political and religious agendas? Well, enough of my rant for the day, but please pray for Israel and the USA during these tense days.
This Sunday I will be bringing a message from Peter 1:19-27 titled "Let's Get Real ... With Ourselves" In what I consider to be the end of end of times if we are not real with ourselves about who we really are in our relationship with God through Christ Jesus. Remember, God can spot a fake Christian easier than we can spot a fake 100 dollar bill. Pray for one another. Pray for the unsaved. Pray for those that have been forgotten in prisons and other institutions. Pray for the sick. Pray for the lonely. Pray for the homeless. Pray, Pray, Pray. They need the prayers and we need the practice!
