HEARTBROKEN! Went from an amazing Sunday of multiple
services filled with faith, laughter, celebration, inspiration & many
decisions -
to just moments before dismissal from New Venture Christian
Fellowship, I’m handed a phone with the horrific details of the Texas church
massacre of Nov 5,2017.
Shared & prayed with our church family, for an anguished
& grieving church family 1,312 miles away.
Heartbroken by the tragedy, the enormity of loss to
the families of the victims, & the fact that this dear church family in
Sutherland Springs, Texas lost half its congregation today, with 27 souls
(ages 5 to 72 yrs) that went to church this morning fully expecting to
worship God, and now, celebrate eternity with Him, in His Presence. Though
comforted by this – I, like you, am deeply saddened by the circumstances
surrounding it.
In times of Tragedy, like today’s –real strength
and comfort can be found in these Bible verses:
Ps 23:4,6; 2 Cor. 5: 6-8; 1 Thess.
4:16-18; Rev 21:4
God’s Heart was broken today. It always is when life
needlessly is taken (Ez. 18:32). And yes, He has told us in advance – “Bad
things sometimes happen to Good People… and Bad things sometimes happen to
God’s People.” That was today.
Please join us, and millions of others in prayer for
comfort, for the good… yet hurting people of The First Baptist Church in
Sutherland, Texas.
