What a night! News of the tragedy across the street has already hit the Television News Stations. There is so much pain right around us. In this case, right across the street from the church office. Tragedies like this make me realize how urgent the times are. We must have a sense of urgency as we see people dying without hope. God help us to give hope to a hurting world.
Our fast is about connecting with the Lord as we humble ourselves. We cannot be too concerned about evangelism. People are dying for hope and life right around us. We must encourage one another and spur one another on especially as we see the Day of the Lord approaching. (Hebrews 10:25) "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
One of the things I am praying is that God will keep us alert to the divine appointments that occur right in front of us. Some in the church have already offered to help clean up the house across the street. Wow! That is servanthood! God help us to see the needs before it is too late.
God Bless!
Pastor Bill
