"Casual Friday: Christian Response to Afghanistan" | Called and Unqualified

Hey, Friends!  Things have been pretty concerning over in Afghanistan, and while it's a good thing we are finally talking about this, these things aren't exactly new.  Instead of focusing on any kind of commentary regarding the Taliban or political involvement in Afghanistan, I wanted to focus on what we as Christians should be doing in response to what has been happening.  First, we should absolutely be praying for Christians who are suffering through persecution, praying that those who are the persecutors will come to know Jesus and follow Him, and we should be praying for those who are affected by all of this violence in the area that aren't yet Saved.  Secondly, you can volunteer with refugees to welcome them into the United States or you can donate to organizations that are doing incredible work.  Lastly, we should be memorizing Scripture (and this one hit me hard.) We have such a luxury to have the freedom to open our Bibles whenever we want, but it also needs to be written on our hearts. Many of our brothers and sisters who are suffering through persecution would give anything to have the freedom to read their Bibles in the open or have a conversation about Jesus, so we should not take these freedoms for granted or become complacent. Just because it doesn't feel urgent doesn't mean that it's not important.  I also wanted to go over a few Scripture references that personally brought be hope through what has been happening, because our God is still powerful and knows how this all will end.  -------------------------------------------------------- Order Create Worship Inspire Merch! https://createworshipinspire.com/shop/ -------------------------------------------------------- Go check out our website for all podcast and video episodes and more! https://createworshipinspire.com/ -------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in donating, please visit https://www.patreon.com/createworshipinspire
