Fires in SoCal
Mark Lauterbach of Grace Church San Diego and GospelDriven Life updates us on the fire with a series of very heart-shepherding and down-to-earth entries:
Let us be praying and emulating the gospel through loving and selfless service (Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:35; Ephesians 5:1-2; James 2:12; Galatians 6:9-10) as we have opportunity
RawChristianity has some updates as pictures, including the one below, as well as the following prayer requests:
here are several things you can pray for as the fires continue:
- Pray for strengthened faith and lengthened perspective among believers who will lose some of their earthly possessions.
- Pray that unaffected believers would have the eyes to see that this is a foretaste of what will happen to our material possessions, and that we would make future choices accordingly.
- Pray that unbelievers who lose precious possessions will see that life is more than possessions.
- Pray that we would look for needs and jump at opportunities to serve our fellow believers and the surrounding community.
- Pray that we would not take the losses lightly and justify our lack of compassion with casual, unfeeling, throwaway platitudes about providence (I believe deeply in divine providence but I also believe deeply that such belief doesn’t warrant cold-heartedness towards those who have been broken by providence).
- Pray that all would be reminded of the just fires of hell and the need for repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.
