Sign Up TodayJesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” - John 11:40 (NIV)
I had been crying out to God asking for a particular door to open for me, and when the door did not open I grew depressed and doubtful. I began to feel that God did not care about me.
I wonder if Mary and Martha felt the same way in...
Even when a door has closed, God is with me.

Our resolve must be different. My prayer is that we have finally reached a tipping point. My hope is that when the protests fade and the marches slow that our will as a church to truly eradicate the scourge of racism won’t dissipate but grows even stronger.”
