Today’s reading is Luke 11:1-28
“”When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭11:24-26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “And the last state of that person is worse than the first.” There are many ways to help people that do not involve Christ, but is doesn’t truly get rid of the root problem. We can have the biggest heart and do everything for someone, but if we do not help them to know Christ in the process, they will still deal with a root problem. Only Christ can fill the God-shaped hole in us and our friends. Please pray that we and our friends truly love our friends by introducing them to Christ AS we help them. Please pray for Dusty and Forrest as they are starting their group.
