Our cultural moment .
Our fearful world needs a fearless church that points to a faithful Jesus Friends the world is scared. The other day I walked into IGA to pick up food. The meat, TP, Fruit, soups, and flour were all gone. People are hunkering down and although we may think it’s silly, we have to remember there are people in our community who are legitimately scared. Brother Lane, mentioned to me that there are people in Ghost Pine, who are at risk. As I was pondering this, I came across this verse written to the exiles of Israel
7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
Jer 29:7
As the world tailspins into uncertainty we have this amazing chance to rise up and seek the welfare of Ghost Pine and the surrounding area. We have a chance to intercede and seek its good. For its welfare is our welfare. We have a chance to speak of a certainty and an anchor that no amount of toilet paper can offer! We have to remember at times like this the church is a people not a place, and it’s a people on mission defined not by fear or anxiety, but hope and an opportunity to be salt and light.
Manor I am calling you out to rise above the noise and fear. I am asking us to look beyond the walls of our own church and take on the mantle of a missionary to our community! I get to teach religious Ed, and I can tell you that there is a generation of parents who don’t know Jesus in our community. What a great time to point to Jesus who makes the darkness tremble. Let’s be for the county… and use this cultural moment to point people to a God invites us to trust in him rather than worry or panic. Our fearful world needs a fearless church that points to a faithful Jesus
