For whatever reason, I chose to read out of Genesis 18 this morning – the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. The chapter begins with God appearing before Abraham by the oaks of Mamre (this could be a whole talking point … Continue reading
i sit here as the darkness that fills the world blots out my vision of the light.
woe to this world who teaches us that there is no consequences
woe to this world who encourages us to live only for ourselves
woe to this world who lies and twists the truth
woe to this world who seeks only to kill and destroy
i fear for the future of this generation.
i fear for my children and those being born into the ugliness of this world
i cannot see a future with goodness, only that filled with excuses
i hear the choices being made by the next generation, and i feel like Ezra, that i should tear my clothes, pull out my hair, and wail in the street.
what will it take to wake up this broken world?! THESE CHOICES YOU ARE MAKING HAVE LIFELONG CONSEQUENCES. each bad choice leads to another in avoidance of the consequences. this is not life worth living, it is a shovel that digs further with each choice, just waiting until you fall into the pit you have dug, leaving you trapped in the dark.

Today I pray the words of Habakkuk 3:2: O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
In your wrath, please, O LORD, remember mercy.
And he is a merciful God. Though the consequences be real, he is waiting with open arms for all who seek him. He sees each choice and, with tears pouring down his face, whispers, “And still I love you. You are worth so much more than this.”
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
in your wrath, O LORD, remember mercy….
Please join with me in praying for this broken generation that continues to buy into the lies of the world; there is nothing more important than this, that we continually pray.
Today I adopt the words of Paul in Romans 15:30:
“I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf.”
Today we begin our journey through Acts as a Bible study at my church; today I begin my journey as a facilitator and teacher. I beseech you as brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for the study, for those God has chosen to take this study, and for me as the teacher. My prayer from the beginning, when this study was but a whisper of a thought, was that this would be God’s study; it would be His thoughts, His ideas, His words, His guidance. Truly, I am a facilitator in the basest sense: I only want to facilitate the speaking of God’s words to these incredible men and women who seek to learn about Acts. Please pray for us tonight that God would be present in a tangible way; that His words would flow from my mouth tonight, that hearts will be open to hear His messages and that He will work in incredible, miraculous ways through this study. Pray that each of those attending will hear God speak directly into their hearts, and that they would understand and welcome His messages. I thank you, for truly it takes all the members to make up the body of Christ and to support each other in God’s work. In His most Holy and precious name, Amen.
