The Luke Road.

This past Sunday, Pastor Benji spoke on Luke 13:1-5. In light of the tragic aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, he offered a perspective that was enlightening and sobering.

We who are in safer climes might be tempted to make certain assumptions and judgements about our brothers and sisters in Haiti. But when we read the Luke passage, we see Jesus making a very salient point: tragedy, frequently, has nothing to do with the belief system or social status of the affected party.

This week we'll take a look at these verses in closer detail. For today, though, I encourage you to open your Bibles and read the five verses again.

"Unless you repent..." Yes, we have been given a choice. I pray you will choose to obey God, always.
