hard news... Earthquakes in Italy destroy lives and even history, our economy is bleak. I heard a statistic the other day that one in five children in the US is homeless (someone please prove me wrong!), over 129,000 children in the US are awaiting adoption, bankruptcies are at a new high, joblessness is 10%, laws are changing that actually are beginning to encroach on our freedoms... there is no escaping it... You simply cannot ignore the climate. I heard a message the other day that the church is designed to flourish under these kinds of times. Agreed. History shows that. But it's still scary. This morning, Peter's words in John 6 were a fresh reminder to me....
John 6:68
Simon Peter answered to Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
