Today you should read: Strong Churches Speak the Language of Lament
Before we dive into Esther tomorrow, we thought it’d be helpful for our church to read the above article on strong churches learning how to lament after reading through the book of Lamentations. Too often, churches publically proclaim the victory and triumph of the Lord while publically pretending that suffering and hardships are not a part of God’s plan or future. Of course, anyone who reads the Bible or in general lives life knows that’s not true. This is a great article revealing how we as a church can balance both truths.

Very good article Erik. Spot on. May we all be people who allow this and unite as the body of Christ to walk through this with others.
Thank you Erik for posting this article. Many families suffer in silence and we need to be the church who “learns how to lament” with them.
Learned a lot from today’s post. Enjoyed being exposed to thoughts I’ve never entertained before. Thanks so much for this nugget of truth!
