WHEN ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE

Has it ever happened to you? You know...ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE in your life? For most of us the answer would be a resounding YES! The only question would be, how many times?

We've all been there, haven't we? When it all FALLS APART; when the WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN; when the STUFF HITS THE FAN; when we FACE THE MUSIC; COME UP AGAINST IT; JUMP OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE; and my personal proverbial favorite: get DRUG THROUGH A KNOTHOLE BACKWARDS! OUCH! On and on we could go. Isn't it funny - we even have a whole list of phrases to describe when IT happens to us. And all you have to do to experience any of the above is this: Be Alive!

But those are things that happen to us. What about when we, because of our stand for Christ, experience, "...tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Romans 8:35 (KJV) What happens to our faith and our love for Christ and others when we stand for the only One who will never fail us, and stand on the Word He has given us? When ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE because we're willing to take the life of Christ seriously enough to do something about it, what then?

Please, don't miss this weekend or the opportunity to invest in and invite someone else to worship with you as we learn how to effectively pray RADICALLY when ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!
