a nation at the flashpoint


a nation at the flashpoint
in sectarian factions
rage and anxiety
caught in the maelstrom
in the chaos of this moment
needing peace, calm
in the swirling transition
needing the light of Jesus
with the quickening storm

a nation at the flashpoint

November 15, 2016
in a nation divided
November 15, 2016
in a world divided
November 15, 2016
no matter their anger
November 14, 2016
in the face of evil
November 14, 2016
if these are the end times
November 14, 2016
focus on our mission
November 13, 2016
Christ is going to win
November 13, 2016
we know the ending
November 13, 2016
we must keep striving
November 13, 2016
in the meantime
November 13, 2016
if we believe - 2
November 13, 2016
if we believed
November 13, 2016
we are going to dance
November 13, 2016
we know the times
November 13, 2016
we sojourn here
November 13, 2016
a light still shining
November 13, 2016
a mirror upon the chaos
November 13, 2016
a challenge to be love
