The start of a new year always tugs our thinking both backwards and forwards. We reflect on 2020 with its hardships and blessings, and we look forward to 2021 hoping for an easier year and perhaps setting some goals. This is both natural and healthy, but what I’m thinking about and want you to think about is right now.

God himself identifies as the Great I Am, not the great I was or the great I will be. God is about right now. He is working right now and calls us to join him right now. You get a bit of this in John 4:35-36, where Jesus tells his disciples it isn’t four months to the harvest. The fields are ripe for harvest now. “Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life.” Similarly, in 2 Corinthians 6:2 we are told, “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”

We are seeing this. We are seeing people searching for what God alone can provide. We are seeing people come to the Lord right now and we can partner with the Lord right now in his saving work. So what are you doing now? What can you do now?

Whatever it is, let’s get after it. The harvest is rich right now. ...

ECO, our denomination, is calling us to fast and pray on Friday. Here's what Dana Allin, ECO's synod executive is saying:

In Ephesians 2:14, Paul reminds us that, “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility”.

As I see news reports about the events on Capitol Hill, I am heartbroken. I am heartbroken to see that even within an hour of news coverage, people have been fighting on social media and making over-generalizations about one another. The country is continuing in the pattern of polarization that could tear us apart. I am saddened and deeply concerned.

I long for the epiphany of the Lord to come again in powerful ways that tear down the dividing wall of hostility that we face in our country, and unfortunately even in our churches. I know that we need to do even more than pray, but we need to start with prayer and fasting. Let’s humble ourselves before our Lord as we pray and ask for healing for our nation.

Pray in general for our nation. We still live in a deeply divided country. Pray for healing. Pray that in the midst of a divided country there would be an openness for a gospel revival that would sweep our country. Pray for specific situations in your local community that need healing.

Situations like [what happened Wednesday] feel full of grief, sadness, and hopelessness. But the Lord continually reminds me of his power, his love for creation, and his ability to shine into the darkness with the promise that the darkness will not overcome. Know that we are praying for you as you lead your local church, trusting that God will work powerfully in and through you as you serve those in your local communities with the transforming love and grace of Jesus. ...
