These are the names of the victims of the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that occurred on Saturday, October 27.

Pray for their families and friends and for the members at Tree of Life Congregation.

I’m convinced that this world we live in is a broken, scarred place where all creation groans from the effects of sin and the fall.

I’m just as convinced that one day, sooner than later, God in Jesus will come and set things right.

Therefore, we don’t grieve as those with no hope, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4, but with hope that God will make every evil and every lie and every wrong come undone.
