London is calling
This morning (in the U.S.) London, England was attacked by terrorists. Nearly the entire world is familiar with 9-11-01 and the events that happened in the U.S..
Today it was London that was attacked, and it is time for the Church to respond.
Many in this city and in the UK will be clamoring to churches and other forms of spiritual places to fill that inner need to answer the inner question, "why?". The Church must respond and we must be prepared to meet the needs of these people at this time.
In NYC after Sept 2001 church attendance skyrocketed, but after a few months attendance was about the same as before. Why?
Some research points to people saying that the churches could not explain what God had to do with tragedy.
We must not be afraid of this.
We must explain that Christianity and the God of the Bible is true, and can meet the pain and suffering that happened on 9-11 and happened today in London.
I pray that this disaster will be a time for Bible believing churches in the U.K. to rise up and minister to these hurting people with compassion and the Gospel.

So how would you respond to the "What does God have to do with this" question?
