Ferguson is the focus of our nation if not the world.
In recent reports I have seen peaceful protestors putting themselves between law enforcement and riotous gangs.
The typical men of God we'd expect to see, Sharpton and Jackson might as well be on vacation.
Apparently municipal, state and federal authorities can't or won't do anything to quell the violence.
They sure speak to all they are doing but the media always seems to suggest it is a complex situation.
It is not!
Matthew 24:10 says it plainly.
And then shall many be offended and they shall betray one another and shall hate one another.
If you have seen what the media says, it is clear that 'the community' they are trying to calm doesn't want any calmness. There is no person in religious authority reminding folks that demonstrated anger isn't Christian.
Nobody is mentioning how important forgiving is nor are they suggesting it.
Certainly nobody is speaking to the need to respect the law, at least nobody that can make a difference.
So I ask, Where is the Christian authority in Ferguson?
The only courageous and righteous folks are the ones putting themselves between the agitators and law enforcement.
Pray for Ferguson and the peace of it. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide others as it guides those willing to stand in the gap.
The power of prayer is mighty!
Pastor Martin
