Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

The Lord... has become a "lost soul in life"...😵
And is clearly saying to those heading towards destruction... "Come back to me."

...I'm sure you're all familiar with the story of the Titanic.
...The luxury liner Titanic sank in 1912 with many passengers on board, a tragic event that claimed many lives.

In fact, before the Titanic set sail, and even during the voyage,
there were numerous warnings to "be extremely careful of icebergs."

Furthermore, the crew and radio operators repeatedly reported,
"There are icebergs in our path!"

However, the design and operation managers were overly optimistic, saying, "You're worrying too much. It'll be fine, it'll be fine,"
and ignored these warnings...😥
...What was the result?

The ship sank after colliding with an iceberg in the middle of the night, throwing passengers into the cold sea…more than 1500 passengers lost their lives 😓.

…This tragic incident occurred because desperate pleas for help were disregarded.

…Those making the pleas were also desperate.

Even under pressure to remain silent, it takes courage to still plead,
"It's dangerous!"

If these pleas had been heeded, perhaps many precious lives could have been saved.

…Even in today's society…a new prime minister has been elected…and I think people are thinking…that the economy and public safety…will improve a little 🤔.

Even giving a warning ⚠️ requires courage.

Christians know…that this world is heading towards destruction.

…The way to be saved is…by believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, you can make it in time for the Rapture❗️
…I believe this is what needs to be conveyed.

…We truly need people who can say, "Return to God."

… Shalom 😄
