The Call - 07/07/07

"John the Baptizer appeared in the desert of Judea. His message was, "Turn to God and change the way you think and act, because the kingdom of heaven is near." Matthew 3:1-2

Living in Nashville it was only a 20 minute drive to LP Field, home to the TN Titans. For others in my family it was a 31 hour flight from Thailand and a 12 hour drive from Texas...and for the other 80,000 plus who came to The Call, who knows how long it took and what sacrifices were made to be with believers for the purpose of repenting, fasting, praying, and worship with a house full of believers in Jesus.

This being an event led by those who are of the charismatic persuasion, it was sad how few churches in our area promoted the event and didn't encourage believers to attend. Love and unity...such a hard thing for the church. We pride ourselves on accepting non-believers into the fold, but we stand strong against those who believe in Jesus, the Saviour of all mankind, because of petty differences in doctrines. Even with that said, there were believers from all denominations , cultures, nations, that joined together and spent about 14 hours straight, asking the Lord to unite us all as a people.

As the Lord seems to be preparing His people for revival, the world seems to be getting closer and closer to another world war. This is a time that we must stand and unite, put away the silly differences, and seek the Lord in all we do. God will unite us...one way or another. I just pray that we will stand together as His church, one people, in days to come.
