Pardon the Criminal?

CRIME-On this last week of our prayer focus on CRIME as one of the 5 issues that Greater Montgomery struggles with, read this verse and ponder these questions.

Isaiah 55:6-7 “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon".ESV

What are you doing to tell others who may have committed a crime, hurt someone else or broken the law, about this verse and how they can come to the Lord who can have compassion and help them start over?

We can complain all the time about crime in our city but are we doing anything about it?

Are we "getting the message" of forgiveness and renewal out to those who need it?

Wondering what what happen if we all shared this verse today with someone who may need God's forgiveness and strength to "turn around"???
