(Below is an excerpt from Pastor’s book, “How To Triumph in Troubled Times”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unimaginable that a group of people could have a hatred that runs so deep that everyone outside their group is considered infidels and should be destroyed. They justify it all in the name of religion. If there has ever been a time that I am thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is now. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a religion of hate (I do not like to call it a religion, but you understand what I am saying)<\/em>. It is a Gospel of Love! If anyone ever walked the love walk and lived the example of the love of God, it was Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pastor has a fix-it heart. We want to fix things. We want to help people. I do not like to see people hurting. I do not like to see people in difficult times. I do not like to see people that are up against impossible situations. I am always thinking, \u201cHow could we pray about that? How could we make a difference?\u201d Of course, you cannot help in every situation, but that is just a pastor\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When 9\/11 happened I asked myself, \u201cThe way things have escalated, what can we do? How can we change our world?\u201d I will be honest with you, even though I know the power of the Gospel of Christ, there was almost a feeling of helplessness that came over me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
