Nineveh

Last night in community small group, we finished watching the last section on the Revivalists of Joel Rosenberg's "Inside the Revolution" DVD.  It was encouraging to see how there are many in the Muslim world are converting to Christianity.  The additional segment we watched, with Joel Rosenberg speaking about Nineveh especially stood out.   He said that if we were asked, like Jonah, to go preach repentance in cities like the modern-day city of Mosul, near Nineveh, which might not be so open to the gospel, would be have the courage to do so?   Along those same lines, do we live out the command to love our enemies in our lives?  Do we pray for them and reach out to them?

Also, with the Memorial Day weekend coming up, I'm reminded to pray for our troops.  And especially since it is a day set aside to commemorate those who have died in military service, I pray for the families of those who have lost loved ones.
