Nigel on Jeremiah
The band's road pastor, Nigel, is back out on the road again. In the band's devotions they have been focussing on the book of Jeremiah and in his official blog, he's been sharing some recent thoughts:
"Most nights on stage, Mac has been stating that as believers we don't just read the Bible as a historical document but as God's word to us today. That's a principle we have been carrying into our devotions as we discover some of the incredible statements of encouragement and hope that the Lord speaks into Jeremiah's situation. If ever there was a man of God called to make a move it was Jeremiah!"
"Jeremiah stood alone for 42 years of ministry; preaching, pleading, weeping, warning the nation that judgment would come unless they sought the Lord's forgiveness and compassion. No-one seemed to listen, and eventually the city of Jerusalem was destroyed. All of us want to have a positive impact on the culture around us, but poor old Jeremiah was called to a ministry that was definitely hard and he wasn't going to be popular. Despite the difficult circumstances, Jeremiah ultimately remained faithful and determined-mostly due to the powerful voice of the Lord."
