Lift up your prayers for Charleston

Last night's incident was beyond tragic.  Evil hit Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and hearts are in great sorrow and grief.  I am reminded of Hebrews 13:3 "Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."  So let us pray!  As these victims sat in church receiving a Bible Study they never imagined this horrific incident was about to take place.  Later they sat for an hour as evil threatened to hurt them.  But the end of the story is this, "Instead, they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one.  Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." (Hebrews 11:16).  Let me rephrase that, the beginning of their story begins now in eternity because "the world was not worthy of them." (Hebrews 11:37)  Praise Jesus!
