Locking Arms

A new command I give you; Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another... John 12:34

A story from my Devotional by Jennifer Landrith:

Once there was a wheat farmer and his wife who had a young son. One day the son went out in the yard and later they couldnt find him.  They searched everywhere but the wheat was much taller then the little boy.  Frantically and as a last resort, they called the neighbors in to help.  They locked arms and walked out across the wheat field.  Eventually they found the little boy but he had died of hypothermia. The mom and dad were heartbroken.  When they were interviewed, they said, "we wish we had joined arm in arm with our neighbors earlier."

What a tragic story!  This is something the church should really hear.  If the Church as a whole locked arms and joined forces we would be unstoppable.! So many people just attend church, but they dont want to be involved in reaching the harvest.  They don't want to work.. Church it is time to RISE UP.
It is time to forgive and forget things that have heart your feelings.  It is time to become the warrior in Christ you were called to be.  If that means walking in a field arm in arm to find someone lost then that is what we do.

As you can see I have not written a blog in almost a month.  It has been a crazy couple of months.  I have to say I would not have been able to get through the last month had it not been for people standing arm in arm in the gap for me. So many wonderful Christians praying and believing for me. (when I couldn't)  People giving me a spiritual pep talk when I needed it.  I have to say the church united is POWERFUL.

So rise up and Unite!
