Glory Community Church

Dear Glory Community Church,

After our fire two years ago, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to write you any more letters informing you of something awful that had occurred during the previous night. Alas, the Lord had other plans!

Last night our church building was broken into. Nearly everything of earthly value was stolen. As discouraging as this may feel at first blush, we can take heart knowing that nothing of eternal value can be taken from us by thieves, Satan, or any other earthly power! The most important possessions of our church are not earthly goods, but our God and his gospel.

At this point, there’s not much for you to do other than pray. Here are some things you can be praying for over the coming days.

First, pray for those who committed this heinous crime. They have acted against the people of God by stealing from the church of God, which means they sit in a place of especially fearful judgment. Let’s pray first and foremost for the salvation of their souls. The same God who turned Paul the persecutor into a missionary can certainly save and use these corrupt men. As a matter of fact, it’s his modus operandi. (1 Cor 6:9-11)

Secondly pray for justice to be done. That the evildoers will be found and given justice according to the standards of righteousness (Rom 13:1-7).

Third, please pray that our equipment (musical, sound, laptops, etc.) is found and returned. Our God is the God of the miraculous deliverance of his people, including the things needed to serve him faithfully (Phil 4:19).

Finally, pray for our congregation, that we would rejoice, being found worthy to suffer for the name (Acts 5:41).

Through many trials, toils, and snares, we press on.

Soli Deo Gloria
Sean
