A Movement For Repentance-Two Big Events Happening in Washington DC

Way back in April while writing the "In The Midst of A Storm" blog series, one of my biggest concerns was the lack of repentance. I felt and in some ways still feel that the exclusion of physical services has changed the church's direction. For some churches more people have come in to the church, but they are receiving the wrong message. I know what some of you are going to say right now, and believe me I've heard it many times. The messengers mean well...yet I still get the impression that they just don't get my concern over having everything online.

I admittedly like the convenience of being able to pull up a sermon, sit in a comfy chair and listen to the message. I also admit that it is all too easy to remain complacent and ignore what's going on around you when you immersed yourself with soothing words. We have allowed our country and the world "go to pot" around us, because it is too "damn" easy to manipulate the message now. Some of us are starting to wake up and realize that we need to repent from our complacency. We are all seeing the ugly results of that complacency on our computer and television screens.

There are two events going on in Washington DC on September 26th. The first one aptly named "The Return" is what I call a preparation for the Lord's soon coming. The fasting and prayer event starts appropriately on what the Jewish faith celebrates as the "Feast of Trumpets" which is this Friday, September 18th and runs through to Monday, September 28th, which is the "Day of Atonement" on the Jewish calendar. I watched the video which you can see on The Return website. I recommend you listen to the whole video and make up your own mind. Their central day is Saturday, September 26th where they will meet at the National Mall in Washington DC. The second event is the "Prayer March 2020" which will be meeting at the Lincoln Memorial and marching to the US Capitol. You can see the route here: Prayer March 2020. Both events are emphasizing the need for us as a nation to repent. I won't be able to make either one, but will be praying anyway for our nation's repentance.
