When you're in the middle of a dangerous situation, it's no time to party.

Nancy Lee-Demaw says that's what too many are doing.

What grieves me is not so much that the world is partying, but that the church is partying,

that we are unaware of the impending danger and threat of God's judgment.

Somehow we do not see the connection between our sinful

choices, and I mean our sinful choices, and the consequences that we will surely reap.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee-Demause for Monday, April 20th.

Our nation has been shaken with one financial crisis after another over the last several months.

But the problems we're facing go far deeper than economics.

Ten years ago, tomorrow, the nation was reeling from news of school shootings in Littleton, Colorado.

And a few days after that event, Nancy reflected on the tragedy in the message,

A Call for the wailing women.

I think our words will resonate today just like they did back then.

We'll begin with a story.

Nancy remembers being on the phone with a woman in great danger.

I call her Sandy.

She had just told me that she was falling in love with a married man who was not her husband.

And as we talked, I knew we didn't have much time.

I said to her, Sandy, if my neighbor's house were on fire, I wouldn't worry about offending them, hurting their feelings, or waking them up in the middle of the night.

I would go, and I would not be nice, I would not be kind, I would not be calm, I would not be soft.

I would go screaming and yelling at the top of my lungs to warn them of the danger and to try and help them get out of that house.

And I said, Sandy, I've got to tell you, you are in a burning house, and I want to help you get out.
