Last autumn, wildfires ripped through Sonoma and Napa counties in Northern California. These fires destroyed homes, businesses, vinyards.
Not a peep from most Christians about prayer for this area.
Around the same time, wildfires ripped through parts of Southern California. These fires and the Northern California fires combined saw 43 fatalities.
Again, not a peep from most Christians about prayer.
Last week, wildfires in Greece claim 91 lives, and causes devastating destruction.
Most Christians...silence!
This week, wildfires rage in and around Redding, California...home to Bethel Church. This church is a megachurch that many non-denominational churches are following for doctrine, practices, etc. They pay license fees to play songs in their own churches that Bethel holds the copywrites to.
From Christians? "Pray for Redding!!! Pray for California!!!"
Why is it they only pray when it is for their own? Weren't those affected by the wine country fires worthy, or not, because they produce an alcoholic product. What about Southern California? Or is there just too much sin in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas to be concerned with. What about Greece? Surely, the Greeks deserve prayer, right?
No, when the megachurch they all idolize is in danger of wildfires, only then is prayer justified!
