Coincidence?
Dear friends:
Most of us are not believers in Coincidence. With that said, what would you do if your state was on the fourth reported lightning strike of churches. A burn down of a friend's church in Southeastern Vermont. A steeple removed in an early morning storm's lightning in mid-Vermont. Another church in Southern Vermont hit removing most of the steeple.
I would be naive to think God is not allowing something to occur that we might hear. A week ago while in Maine, I gave a word involving this group of scriptures. I shared the verses of Revelation 4 and how God's lightning was coming to earth. The pastor, shared the same verses on the "sound" of heaven. "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."
I believe we are hearing the sound of heaven here in Vermont. I do not think God "picked" churches. But it is interesting. "Green Mountain," "Congregational," "All Souls" and "Old Brick." There has been a great attempt to get "the church out" rather than "bring it in" that has been met with a lot of resistance. Jesus spoke of expanding the Kingdom. I know. I know. My personal life is outside the bounds of "church" per se. And not everyone "lives" here...or do they? What happens if the "picks" indicate that "everyone" is invited to be the "congregation" here in "Vermont" shored up by the "basics?"
And the lightning? Nearly every day I watch it strike the tower at my home. I hear the "sound" of heaven often. Perhaps the throne is "Speaking."
Buildings? Steeples? We meet in a bank. Others in an elephant barn. Some in homes. Sure, we might like a "big" building. (Though I prefer a tent.) But I seriously believe God is less concerned with the building and more concerned with the building of people. Maybe that is what "apostolic" really means. A builder of people. Forming the Kingdom in each one.
A few weeks ago when the Simpsons appeared many wrote me suggesting we were "under judgement." I received letters from other Springfields and their believers. Suggesting things like "separation of church and state," etc.. (Maybe I am the lightning rod!) And in the middle of town there is a statue where people gather to "idolize" the pink donut. And I "struggle" with it, until I review my own "altars" and the things I have placed first and before the Lord. And yet there is a fresh line of people coming to see the hand holding the donut.
God gave us dominion over this earth. It is our responsibility to declare His rule and His reign. I am not thinking God has fallen off His throne over "Homer." And coincidence. Steeples falling. Perhaps it means the end of a religious age and tradition. Perhaps it means nothing. I am obviously inclined to believe it does. Just as others have "embraced" the bridge collapsing.
Blessings,
Lee
