A Lament for the American Church and Her Leaders

These are embarrassing and sad days for the church of Jesus Christ in America. These are days we may look back upon with deep shame. But when that day comes, it may be what finally brings us to our knees in recognizing our need for the only one with power to save, heal, redeem, restore, and deliver. We need Jesus. Only Jesus. 

Restoring the Song

I’ve touched the darkness that lives in between the light. Seen the worst of this world, and the best. Seen the terrible things men do to each other in the name of hatred, and the lengths they’ll go to for love. Now I know. Only love can save this world. So I stay. I fight, and I give… for the world I know can be. This is my mission, now. Forever.” -Wonder Woman

The 3 “It is Finished” Statements

However, did you know this is not the last time the phrase “It is Finished” is used?

There are more things “yet to be done.”
