I believe the events of recent days demonstrate clearly that we are under the judgment of Almighty God. It was customary for our Puritan fathers to mark such frowning providences with a day of solemn humiliation and prayer. Both the Westminster (21.5) and Baptist Confession (22.5) state that such days are "to be used in an holy and religious manner." I believe it behooves the ministers and pastors on this board to prayerfully consider setting aside a day for their congregations to gather publicly together to humble themselves before God for our national sins and provocations and to earnestly beg for his mercy on our land.
I am currently giving thought about how such a day could be observed in our church. If this is something you have done or are considering, please share your thoughts on what you believe to be most unto edification and the honor and glory of God.
