My friend Alton posted on Facebook about spiritual awakening today.
The students who need the most help are the ones who get suspended and expelled. One of the kiddos got arrested today - I don't even know what for.
People get sick with diseases that are simply attacks of the devil everyday.
One of my kiddos got a girl pregnant recently and has been all depressed about it in class.
My church is having 7 days of prayer this week - Integrity's Voice of Victory Church 44th and Meridian in OKC if you're interested - and I'm so motivated. Corporate prayer has always captured my attention.
But the point of this post isn't really to invite you to my church. It's to encourage you to try trusting God, try doing what He would ask you to, try loving like Jesus did.
I know there are a million reasons not to.
a hundred thousand complications
a thousand concerns and a hundred excuses
and then there is fear...
...but you'll never know if you don't try.
Wake up. Look around you. Look at your Facebook feed - 9 year old girls giving male toddlers lap dances, kindergarteners "twerking," people being abducted and killed every minute of every day. There is very obviously something wrong here. And what we have been trying to do to fix it hasn't helped.
Obama came and he will soon go and things are not better. There has been little change.
There's really only one change agent. Seek Him. Find Him. Choose life.
Please. It's real out here.
