This Weekend's Message: Is God a Masochist or Pacifist?
If you stay current with the events in our world, I don’t have to tell you that across our globe many are in the midst of conflict and war. For Americans, the war in Afghanistan is mostly on our minds, but let’s not forget about the recently ended war in Iraq or what happened in recent times in Egypt or Tunisia or Libya – that some call the Arab Spring. Even more current is horrific killing of innocent people in Syria and just Wednesday the burning of the U.S. Embassy and killing of the U.S. Ambassador and three others in Libya. And finally, let’s not forget this threat of terrorism we have been living with for over ten years.
War, the threat of war, and the effects of war are all around us. What are we to think about this? What are we to do about it? How should a Christian think about war? How should a Christian react to war?
This is what we will talk about on Sunday as we continue our series “American Christian or Christian American?” I hope to see you.
We will also have a baptism after third service. Please stay for that service as well. You will be blessed as you get to see and hear how God has changed the lives of people in our church. This will be an exciting time!
