Greetings, people of God! Do you think of yourself that way? If you’ve given your life to Him, that is who you are. My prayer is that we live in such a way that the world will know it and believe.
I enjoyed our time together last Sunday. I’m looking forward to actually being with you again, but everyone who was on the call joined in the conversation. It felt good. Linda shared a lesson on the importance of seeing the potential in those we minister to and being unwilling to settle for less. I managed to hit the right button, so we have video for my message on Facebook and podcast episodes for both of us.
We will remain in virtual mode this Sunday per discussion at the end of the meeting. I’ll send out the text with the telephone conference number. If you have not been receiving the texts and would like to be included, let us know.
I will be speaking on our responsibility to our nation as the people of God from 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. Many of us may know verse 14 by heart. It’s often quoted as we are exhorted to pray for our country. But verse 14 is a continuation from verse 13. The context is God’s judgement on the land. Can we appropriate these verses for our own land, or were they written just for Israel? I think we can, and I think we must if there is to be any hope for the United States of America as we know it. Revival starts with us!
Love you all,
Larry
