Once again, we weep; once again we are angered by the senseless loss of life and a blatant attack on worshipers in Jesus. On Sunday a 26-year old man, filled with demonic rage, massacred 26 people, aged 18 months to 77 years, at a small church in Sutherland, Texas. Once again, politicians rail on guns and people are polarized--and the heart of Jesus breaks for those in need.

     As we gather our families close to communicate our love, and as we gather with our congregations to pray and minister His presence in this time of confusion, remember that God so loved the world that He gave. He gave to the needy, those in despair, those whose hearts are broken. And He calls us to minister hope in a dark and trying time.

     As dedicated believers, let us continue in powerful prayer—pray for those who are critically injured whose lives hang in the balance; pray for the families changed forever, pray for the hurting community torn by grief—and pray for fresh revival in our nation. And always, let us Hold Fast our Confession (Hebrews 4:14 NKJV) that Jesus continues to be the ONLY answer in this world that so needs Him.
