When people are in deep pain they don't need explanations, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up. Just be WITH them. It’s the healing ministry of presence.

In Scripture, a pastor was NOT a guy who stood behind a pulpit,in a church building, holding a Bible,preaching to a crowd.
There were no church bldgs until the 4th century
No pulpits until the 9th century
No printed Bibles til the 15th
A pastor was a small group (house) leader!

Since all humans are “made in God’s image”(Genesis 1:26) with God-given dignity(Psalm 8:5) racism is evil and bigotry is wickedness.The massacre of people praying in Christchurch is a despicable act that should cause both tears and resolve to unite against acts of inhumanity.
