meth...

This is a power that is at work in our church neighborhood. You can see it in scabed faces, homes, people staggering down the street, the hookers on the corners...

Junkies need Jesus.
The church needs a Jesus that is strong enough to deal with meth.

I would flip it. Jesus has always been strong enough.
Jesus needs a church that is strong enough to deal with meth. Or willing.

I know that flipping it would be more "christian" of me...but, dare I say, if you live and work among those whose lives have been demonized by this cancer, you sometimes wonder...is Jesus enough?

I know that some "things" dont come out but by prayer and fasting...and maybe that is the missing key...Christians that dont do enough.

But, I get weary of saying that...sometimes I find myself feeling like God doesn't do enough...here and now...not has done or will do...but is doing. Oh I know that sounds so wrong to say but in reality...I often feel that way, I am sorry to say.

I am praying for a day when more victory happens, less destruction, more grace, less sin...more good stories than the bad ones.
