“And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭21:29-34‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus said, “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life”. “Cares of this life”? How do we not have cares? But He said “weighed down” with the cares. We all haves cares, but if we are “weighed” down by them, where are we placing our hope? Please pray that we and our friends go to God immediately in prayer when we are weighed down and give them to Him and trust God in that moment (Romans 8:28). Please pray for the men coming to the Buckhead social on 9/24.
