Pray for…
A request I received: We need to be praying for all those suffering in Africa, Southern Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, South East Asia and Eastern Asia, where there is poverty, terrorists' attacks, political turmoil, oppression and threats of war. While the Western Hemisphere has problems in Haiti, Venezuela and Mexico, this side of the world is doing relatively well compared with the Eastern Hemisphere.

I was at a conference last year and heart an amazing talk about how Christians need to engage with culture. I found it online and watched it yesterday, and it was just as amazing the second time. It’s 24 minutes long, but I’d highly recommend it—it’s worth making the time to watch.

Text for this Week
Luke 12:49-59
“I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘It is going to rain’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? Thus, when you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the case, or you may be dragged before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
