Have you ever heard stories of where the church (both big “C” and little “c”) has failed. A lack of accountability that lets a pastor run off with his secretary…a church that votes in ungodly tradition instead of Elder lead decision…a family that comes 4 weeks in a row an is untouched by the body, so they move on…
Me too. That is why as I type this post, I have tears in my eyes. On Sunday, a couple that I have never met, went to the hospital to have a baby (hence why this hits close to home for me). Long story short, their baby boy died during labour. What should the church do when this happens…? I don’t know, how about this…
1) Send out a church-wide email asking people to pray for this couple and this situation
2) Hold a memorial service and invite everyone to come and show support and love on this young couple
Well, they did both these things. I wasn’t able to go, but heard reports that the church showed up huge to show support for these people. This guy wrote a song you can listen to here. Very well done.
Praise the Lord for the Church.
Praise the Lord for leaders that KNOW what to do in times of trial.
Praise the Lord that even through the most difficult of circumstances, He remains faithful
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
God is in control. GOD IS IN CONTROL.
