Today is the feast of the Transfiguration. It is a rare treat when one of the major feasts falls on a Sunday and more people are in church. I preached on the Transfiguring power of Christ and how we all need to have a closer, personal relationship with Him. The feast is more about Transfiguring our spiritual life than anything else. This seems like a good idea considering all that is going on in the Middle East. We need to pray for a resolution to this situation in the Middle East and a stop to all of this craziness. Let us continue to pray for all of those involved in this situation.
