Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
I am overwhelmed by the concern for Susan’s health that has been expressed by so many from our churches, across our state, nation and literally from people we know from around the world. One of the most encouraging statements I hear nearly every day is, “I have You and Susan on my prayer list, and I pray for you every day.” It is a humbling thing to know that so many care enough for Susan and me to remember us in prayer daily because people pray about the things you care about. You tend to pray about most the thing you care about most.
I am grateful that Baptists are praying people and are particularly persistent at praying for folks who are suffering. Those prayers show how much we care about the condition of the people around us. I believe that we need to broaden our burden to include the spiritual condition of people around us and in the world. May we make sure our prayer list contains the names of missionaries and mission fields, pastors and church leaders, the lost or backslidden and of course our churches. May we persevere in that prayer realizing that the Lord works in answer to prayer.

A lot of our Sunday School classes are studying First Peter this month. It's an amazing letter written to an interesting group of early churches. Those churches had an incredibly diverse makeup -- a wide range of ethnic, cultural, economic, political, and even religious backgrounds. They were the first Christian churches in their area, and they were beginning to face pressures. They didn't "follow the crowd" in their morality or social behavior, and the people around them didn't like that.
