Let’s pray. As we watch non-stop coverage of HURRICANE IKE (and other tragedies around the block and around the world), let’s not just shake our heads. I know how easy it is to just watch and rejoice that it’s not us…So let’s join together and PRAY for those who are being impacted by this terrible storm. Do that right now.

And let’s remember that long AFTER the news crews leave, they will still be piecing their lives back together. I will keep my eyes open as to how we as a church might HELP them as the pleas will come in, no doubt.

We are NEW HOPE, and if you are not at New Hope…RALLY YOUR CHURCH as well. We need to be there for our brothers and sisters in their time of need. It is required of us.

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’”
(Matthew 25.41-43.niv)

Blessings, peace and join me in prayer.
