There's Hope for a Broken World

Psalm 34:18
Video - Debunked 5 - WHM
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there; if you're kicked in the gut, he will help you catch your breath. (MSG)
I heard about a mountain climber who was severely injured after he fell into crevice. Immediately, his friends came to his aid and lowered a rope encouraging him to grab it. But he said, ''I can't. My arms are broken.'' They replied, ''Then wrap it around your legs!'' He replied, ''I can't... My legs are broken too. So they told him, ''Bite down on the rope and we'll slowly pull to you up. As they're pulling him up, one of the friends yelled, ''Almost there. How are you doing?'' And w/out thinking, the guy replied, ''I'm okaaaaaaaaaaay!''
You may or may not find this story humorous - but the truth of the matter is we live in a hurting and broken world that's quickly falling away toward disaster and destruction.
Everywhere we turn... Everywhere we look... Everywhere we go... we discover broken hearts, broken homes, broken hopes, and broken lives. And it is not only sad - it's scary!
We can hardly pick up a newspaper, turn on the TV, or get online w/out finding suffering, violence, poverty, war, pain, death, and more. The brokenness breaks our hearts. Just this week, we witnessed the horror of a man entering into a church to kill 9 innocent people b/c of their skin tone.
Yet in the midst of living in a broken world - there's hope! And this hope is found in none other than Jesus Christ! He is the only hope for our world. He is our only peace! And God has called those of us who have experienced His peace to be peacemakers by sharing His love and grace w/ others.
W/ this in mind, and w/ the summer upon us - including countless ministry/mission opportunities surrounding us from mission trips to cookouts w/ our neighbors/friends, I wanted to ta ...
