If you’ve watched the news lately, things are falling a part out in the world Ebola, terrorists, plans missing, religious wars… But the solution isn’t to flip the channel or to binge watch Netflix. The 1st step is to pray. Never underestimate the power of the people of God on their knees together. In fact, this is what the Vicar of Baghdad is asking for the most. (Read his blog here.) The 2nd step is to keep talking about it. Folks need to know that the people we will one day spend eternity with (one day/eternity, get it?) are being actively beheaded, shot, tortured… you get the picture. It’s awareness. Nobody cares if nobody knows. A 3rd step is to start calling your Congressman or Congresswoman and tell them this is what you are concerned about. It’s an election year. Maybe if the Christians who make so much noise about culture wars do the same with actual wars, we might see some peace. I didnt watch the video. Reading this was enough to make me start praying praying praying. Thats the first step. The second is to talk about it...dont sweep it under the rug or turn a blind eye (which would be so much more comfortable, yes?). And then, contact the people who represent you, to tell them this matters. Dont be afraid of steps two and three; and do not forget to begin with step one...
