March & Fire

An estimate of 20,000 march against prop 8 in downtown San Diego today. Eddie and some people were worshiping there but they had to leave due to the amount of people protesting. The smoke caused by the fire down in Anaheim/Brea area was so thick that the southern sky of San Gabriel Valley looked quite scary today while the northern sky got really clear and the mountains were gorgeous.

I found a profound facebook note written by a great friend, April Brown, and here a part of it:

Friends, we need to be able to stand, beyond what was accomplished recently! We must stand in the face of even greater opposition. It wasn't a ballot initiative that I was after this year- it's the soul of California and the soul of our nation. There remains fierce contention for it right now. It's the heart that God is after. If we don't turn hearts to Christ we lose everything. Eternity is real. God desires this nation. Will we continue to stand? We have to be through playing defense. This is the time for offense!

God has not been and never will be on the defensive side because that's simply not His nature! Then why should we play by the world's rule if we are not of this world? These protesters might just hit the churches tomorrow all across California, who knows?

What would you do? This nation is at stake, and we gotta step forth instead of back up. Churches, stop playing games with each other and get together for the time of His coming is near! WAKE UP!

ps. I want to share something real awesome, but that'll be for tomorrow!
