This week at church we’re doing a 24 hour fast from Tuesday night to Wednesday night. These are the Queries that we’re keeping in mind during the fast…

Queries:

1. Do you believe God’s plan is large enough to tackle global warming, war, terror, genocide, and apathy? Do you trust God to use you in your daily life to confront these evils?

2. Do you have faith that God can use you, and others from North Valley to bring about the changes necessary to tackle global warming, war, terror, genocide, and apathy?

3. Do you experience the grace of God as sufficient for all your failings? That even as you contribute to the evils of the world, the love of God is a transformative power in your life leading you to a better way of being?

4. Do you understand and practice a commitment to non-violence and peace making, both in your home and community? Do you extend the grace God has given you to others, a grace that frees you from guilt and leads you in love to a life of discipleship?

5. If you have believed, have you been given the courage to act? If the courage has been given, will you ask for the strength to continue? If given the strength, will you give grace to those who have not believed, lacked the courage, or whose strength has failed?

6. Do you have the humility to know that more can be done, and the faithfulness to listen?
