Have you been watching the news? This month we are praying and donating to support communities across South East Asia affected by Cyclone Ditwah, as we continue to hold in prayer so many nations impacted by war and many individuals recovering from religious persection and abuse in religious institutions. Where is God is allowing so much hurt to go on? This week we took a deep dive into Jesus' plan, as recorded in Matthew 24. He told us to expect four things to continue and increase before it will, finally, end: wars, natural disasters, persection of Christians and the worst of human suffering, in the middle east. Heather explains how our God is both just and merciful. He promises a final call; an end to suffering. A day will come when justice will be served. Still, He is the God of grace, second chances and forgiveness, and so the human race has been gifted time. This means we are to expect division over the Gospel, but never be divisive ourselves. We let God do the heavy lifting.
