Ancestral Blessings,
As we draw near to the Memorial Day holiday, we look to not only remember those who have fought and died in wars, but we look to those who have lost their lives fighting in the streets of America for their liberty and freedom. We not only remember our fallen heroes and sheroes, but we are reminded that their fight continues, because the work is yet undone.
Dr. M. L. King shared this truth: "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people, but the silence by the good people.” With so many laws and legislations now arising that restrict voting, or rulings that deny individual rights, the challenge before every Christian is not only to seek God for direction, but to do something for the good of our communities and all nations.
In this week's message found in Exodus the first chapter, we find the narrative about oppressive rulers, yet we also witness the boldness of those who choose to live life to the glory of God. I pray that you will join me in study and on Sunday to hear this necessary message for times like these.
Peace,
Pastor Mark W. Thompson
