Calvary Church is dedicated to doctrine, and we want you to experience the life change that comes from knowing God's word and applying it to your life.

So we explain the Bible verse by verse, every chapter, every book, this is expound.

Today has been a very, very difficult day, a very heavy day, and we have addressed that.

But, you know, in Psalm 46, the psalmist said, the Lord is our refuge and our strength.

He is a very present help in trouble. And then the psalmist said,

therefore we will not fear. Even though the earth is removed and though the mountains are carried into the midst of the

sea. In other words, we're going to press in, hide in God, and no matter what we face, we're not going to live in fear.

We refuse as God's people to live in fear.

Now, what happened today was a very fearful event, and we did pray, and we are praying for the family.

And I do want to address those who are,

um, though I don't expect them to be listening to this message, but there are those on the

political left who always disparage at times like this when we say our thoughts and our prayers

are with the family and the victim's families.

And I feel as a human being, the very least I can do is think about those who are affected.

So that's the basic human courtesy is, yes, I have thoughts that are heartbreaking thoughts toward those who are affected

so I have thoughts for them and I feel like the basic Christian respect I can pay to another person

as a believer is to pray for them because I believe our God answers prayers and he is the

God of all comfort. So yes, my thoughts and my prayers are with the family and the families of the

victims. That's just the very least we can do. Can we do more? Yes. But you can never do more than pray

until you prayed. You can always do more than pray until you prayed.

You can always do more than pray after you prayed,

but the very basic human dignity is to think conscious thoughts
