Pray for Paris: What I Will and Will Not Say this Sunday

My heart hurts for Paris and the nation of France. When I stand in the pulpit on Sunday, the images of horror will be fresh in all of our hearts. As pastors, many will look to us to set a tone for how to react to such evil acts. In situations like this, the title of pastor is both an honor and a burden. I don't have better answers than anyone else. But as I’ve been thinking and praying about it, I've made some decisions about what I will and will not say and do. I offer my ideas here, not as a prescription for other pastors, but as an insight into my heart and mind. If you can draw any help from these points, great. If they don’t apply to you, set them aside and do what God lays on your heart.
