Dear FCC Family & Friends,
Like many of you I have been horrified by the disturbing unimaginable images being shown over the airwaves of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. A reliable span that stood for over thirty years broke apart during rush hour traffic last night, sending motorists to the Mississippi River below. Many stunned survived, however recovery efforts continue in this shocking event.
Living in the Bay area, bridges are a way of daily life for many in our FCC family. When we appraoch one, our thoughts are more concentrated on tolls than whether the thing will hold us up or not. We just assume that, "Hey, it's been relaible for many years. It's always gotten me from over here to over there." This news out of Minnesota might change that perception for awhile.
Let me share and identify a bridge I know personally that is absolutely unbreakable. The bridge I'm referring to is not an engineering feat of iron and concrete; but love, mercy and grace. The bridge that is unbreakable is Jesus Christ! He is the only God-endorsed connector that allows safe travel to God. Despite the claims of many such bridges, His blood-stained cross stands tall and reliable, grounded deeply in the bedrock of His unshakeable Word. It is safety high above the raging peril below. Yes, Jesus is the bridge - the only way from over here to over there.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" - John 14:6
Friends, the bridge is ready and your toll has been paid. The rest is up to you.
This Sunday I will be sharing more from the prolific ministry of the prophet Elijah. Hope to see you there!
In the Fight,
Steve Kiefer

Good thing the bridge to Jesus wasn't designed by men.....and that it doesn't ever need an EQ retrofit.
