"God cares for us, whatever our ethnic, religious or political background may be.
The Bible says that He’s "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles."
We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation, but today we need Him especially.
we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea" (Psalm 46:1,2, NIV).
I have to accept, by faith, that God is sovereign, and He’s a God of love and mercy and compassion in the midst of suffering.
The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah said, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" He asked that question, "Who can understand it?" And that’s one reason we each need God in our lives.
As a Christian, I have hope, not just for this life, but for heaven and the life to come.
For the Christian, I'm speaking for the Christian now, the Cross tells us that God understands our sin and our suffering, for He took upon Himself in the person of Jesus Christ our sins and our suffering. And from the Cross, God declares, "I love you. I know the heartaches and the sorrows and the pains that you feel. But I love you."
The story does not end with the Cross, for Easter points us beyond the tragedy of the Cross to the empty tomb. It tells us that there is hope for eternal life, for Christ has conquered evil and death, and hell. Yes, there is hope.
My prayer today is that we will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around us, and will know in our hearts that He will never forsake us as we trust in Him. "
At least he didnt offer the PC "everyone is in heaven",that took some amount of courage..but I have to agree with Goldhammer,the gospel was not preached. It was a very nice talk..but it did not address the gospel of Jesus Christ..
