"Last Call"

Scripture Reading:
Romans 5:19 (HCSB) For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

Devotional Reading:

This very day, September 11, 2012, marks the eleventh anniversary of the terrible events of September 11, 2001. And even now, after eleven years, one of the most common questions I hear is, “How could a loving God allow so much suffering and evil in the world? How could He have allowed this horrible thing happen to us?" Those are tough to answer. Philosophers and theologians have struggled with this forever. There is no completely adequate answer, but it’s important to remember that God is blamed for a lot of things that man does wrong on his own. When God created man, He gave us all a free will. He didn’t program us as robots to always do what’s right or what He wants. Robots have no choice, but humans do. We can choose to trust and obey God, or we can do things our own way. From the first man and woman, each person has chosen to go his or her own way, rather than God’s way. The result of man’s sin is disease, suffering, and death. God did something pretty dramatic to confront the problem: He humbled Himself to become one of us in the person of Jesus Christ, to show us how to live. Even more, Christ came to die for us. Through faith in Him, one person at a time, maybe we, as a nation, can begin to reverse this cycle of evil and suffering. But it MUST begin with humility.  When my people who are called by name will humble themselves, confess their sins, turn to Me...THEN I will hear their prayers and heal their land!

We are arrogant from the President down... We are self-centered, self-righteous and all about us. 50 million + babies have been murdered in the name of law and justice (a choice).  We are enacting laws for people of same sex to continue with their immoral, abhorrent abomination and instead of labeling it sin, our country labels the child of God a homophobe unloving and unwilling to allow people to live as they want!  I say Lord get our attention wake us up before the next call is too late!

Keep the Son in your eyes,
