A Call to Anguish
August 23, 2023
As he walked the streets of the city, the prostitutes, pimps, runaways, drug addicts and hustlers he saw, filled his heart with anguish. "All true passion of life comes out of anguish," David Wilkerson said, years after founding an international drug rehabilitation program. Teen Challenge has one of the highest success rates in the world. Wilkerson continued, "Search the scriptures and you'll find that when God determined to recover a ruined situation, He would share His own anguish for what God saw happening... He would find a praying man and He would take that man and literally baptize him in anguish."

Mike loved to hike. You'd find him on a trail in all kinds of weather...that was until he got sick. Doctors think it started with a tick bite. These tiny insects can carry an infection-causing bacteria that spreads to joints, hearts and the nervous system. Mike couldn't remember getting bitten by a tick, but months of chronic illness had turned into years. He's prayed for healing, others have prayed for healing, but God hasn't granted it. "This is discouraging," Mike admits, "but like it says in scripture, God keeps carrying me onward."

Nothing shows you quite how temporary a material possession is... like having small children around! Sometimes it can feel like our children are drawn to our most precious and prized possessions. Inevitably, many end up cracked, stained, or broken after unsteady little hands have handled them. One mom was holding a brand new, beautiful pottery bowl when her son's tennis ball flew through the air, shattering it. Torn between laughing and crying, she concluded, "This is why we can't have nice things!"
