We mourn for the nine godly souls who died in the Charleston church shooting.
Here in America, church is usually a safe place to praise, pray and study the Bible. Elsewhere, these activities end in financial loss, imprisonment or death.
How do we respond?
- We wish for better news coverage
- We look to our government for sanctions
- We contribute money to their cause
- We devote a few minutes to prayer on their behalf
When it happens here in America, we are outraged. When it happens on the other side of the world, we accept it as a cost of discipleship–the cost of someone else’s discipleship.
