Pray for First Baptist Church in Texas, Happy Veterans Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/12)

We all know that tragedy struck last Sunday. A shooter killed 26 people at First Baptist Church in rural Sutherland Springs, Texas. This is the deadliest church shooting surpassing the one in Charleston.

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all". Psalm 34:19 (ESV)

But the Lord didn't deliver these saints in Texas. Or did He? For every one who trusted in Christ, God delivered their souls into His presence. We do not have to fear those who can only kill the body but we should fear the One who can kill both the body and soul. Nothing can separate a believer from the love of God. Not even death! But today, we are mourning and weeping with our brothers and sisters in Texas. We know that God is near to the brokenhearted. So we prayed corporately for them and will continue in the months to come.

Yesterday was Veteran's Day. We recognized our veterans. Thanks to all who have served our country.

Today we dedicated Elizabeth Singleton's son, August Syer Singleton.

I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church.
