For those who don’t know; there have been more than half a dozen churches burned down in the last week in the East Texas area. Please pray for the churches; That the members will know God’s peace (shalom) through this trial. This IS persecution.
Do not fear – God IS in control. He loves you. He loves your soul more than your material possessions. Put your trust in Him.
Please pray for these churches
Tyland Baptist Church Tyler, TX
First Church of Christ, Scientist Tyler, TX (I guess they are Christian Scientists, which I do believe are false teachers; pray as you feel led)
Lake Athens Baptist Church Athens, TX
Little Hope Baptist Church Canton, TX
Fellowship of Prairie Creek Church Lindale, TX

As a matter of coincidence our house faces a Christian Scientist retirement compound.
It is a circle drive of small houses, duplexes, efficiency apartment building and “nursing” facility.
Hey, I didn’t realize that they had a web-site.

Their compound was part of my walking regime this past summer. The people seemed to not mind my invading their grounds.
Sorry for the OT mention.
Prayers, again, being said for the church families and communities touched by the fires.

Must add this…
I swear our house can be seen in the background of one of the pictures that are scrolling.
The shot of the white deck chairs (with the small table between). Our house is the brown brick one on the right, beyond the paved path.
By the way, the way the buildings are arranged, it reminds me of the compound on LOST.
