PLEA FOR PRAYER ON 9/11

“As representatives of the true Church of Jesus Christ, do not give unnecessary offense to those who need the Gospel so desperately.” – 5ptsalt.com

The city my husband and I now call home is under attack. I’m sure y’all are familiar with the story that has made national news. A 50-person radical “church” in Gainesville, FL is putting our country and our citizens at risk. Negative attention is being drawn to Christ and his followers. Spiritual warfare is real.

Pray for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be furthered and not hindered. Pray for the endangered soldiers overseas. Pray for the congregation of Dove World. Pray for mercy in the midst of anger. Pray for wisdom. Pray for those who fear. Pray for grace. Pray for the University of Florida. Pray for the work of the Lord to be obviously evident.

The Lord is sovereign, and He has provided us this opportunity to proclaim the goodness of grace and the mercy of Christ.

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” –Colossians 3:12-17
