This week, we’ve been exploring God’s promise to “heal our land” if his people will “humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways” (2 Chronicles 7:14). We’ve discussed the humility that admits we need what only God can do, the intercession that seeks his gracious favor for our people, and the importance of seeking his “face” in personal intimacy with the Almighty. Today, we’ll consider God’s call for his people to “turn from their wicked ways.” How can we live in such spiritual victory each day?
Today launches our annual Wilberforce Weekend. Ten years ago, Chuck Colson gave what would be his final message, at a Wilberforce Weekend event.

This weekend, we will be looking at salvation and redemption from every possible angle we can, in order to better live a life that is redeemed.

Unlike other religious figures, our Savior has experienced the pain he now redeems. He walked through the same terrifying storm from which he spared Peter (Matthew 14:22-31). Here are 5 ways we can join God in redeeming diaster.
The only way for us not to fall in the wrong direction is to join in the story of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. This is the grand narrative of Christ redeeming His creation, using His people throughout the ages to work for the well-being of others and to change society. Until Christ comes again, the hurting will always be with us. But that doesn’t mean we should tolerate it.
