Stand with Israel

It seems that our world is in some scary times.

It seems that many of us would rather close our eyes and plug our ears when it comes to the events happening in the world. Being informed makes us worry. Being informed keeps us up at night. But being inform also requires us to pick a side in the debates. When we are informed we can no longer sit back and let things happen. When we become informed, we have to become involved. So we avoid it many times.

Our nation is in the midst of a very potentially dangerous deal with Iran. Pastor Nathan attended the Christians United for Israel Summit this past week and came back with so much information about what is going on.

Silence in the face of evil, is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak, is to speak. Not to act is to act. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

It's easy to ignore what is going on the world. We just turn off the news and continue to live our lives as if nothing is happening. It is time as Christians we make the decision to be informed and to make a difference.

The most important thing you can do is to pray. Pray for our nation and pray for Israel.

It is also important that we stand with Israel, and stay informed. One way you can do this is by joining www.cufi.org to get information about what is going on, and ways you can personally make a difference.

It may be scary times, but the amazing thing is, God is still God. He isn't shocked by what is going on. It didn't surprise him that our leaders are contemplating making this treaty. He is still in control. Jesus is still seated at the right hand of God. As Christians, we can find faith and comfort in knowing that whatever the future holds, that we know our God still holds the future.

2 Chronicles 7:14 "Then if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sins and restore their land".
