This service is one of a series of three worship services that are designed to guide us to a positive way of dealing with various types of conflict in our society. We are focusing on the words of Apostle Paul, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Roman 12:21 (NIV), and by Coach Tony Dungy’s message to America.
Key phrases in Coach Dungy’s message of May 29th are: (Christians) “can’t be silent. … But we can’t go forward with judgmental, bitter spirits. We need to be proactive but do it in the spirit of trying to help make things better. And it … has to be ALL churches taking a stand and … recognize that we are not fighting against other people. We are fighting against Satan and his kingdom of spiritual darkness. In the words of the Apostle Paul, ‘Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.’ Romans 12:21.’”
You can read The Tony Dungy Message at these websites as well as on his Twitter page @TonyDungy on May 29th. https://www.4sq.church/uploads/4/5/9/5/45953545/859tony_dungy.pdf or https://noqreport.com/2020/05/29/coach-tony-dungys-message-to-america-is-the-one-we-need-to-hear-right-now/
