Very thankful to see @knoxseminary classes beginning on the campus of @src_church next week. Knox has a great team led by Dr. Scott Manor. This new initiative will strengthen our service to church planters here and globally, all while aiding our discipleship ministries too.

We are immensely grateful for Julia Yetman, all who strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community at Spanish River Church, and to Casey DeSantis for helping to fuel the differences that Florida churches are making for good.

Congratulations to Spanish River Church @src_church of Boca Raton, Florida. They have delivered support and encouragement to hundreds of single moms, teens aging out of foster care, and Floridians who needed help through the Hope Florida CarePortal program. On Monday, @GovRonDeSantis and I recognized them for being our top performing church partner with an award of $50,000 from the Hope Florida Fund to continue their service.

Hope Florida is showing all that is possible when the state, churches, and nonprofit work together to serve. We are proud of how Florida churches are making a difference, and we know they are just getting warmed up.

"With one voice, we must reject all political violence and remind those who even jokingly refer to such terrible things that this can have no place in our society, and we must give it no place in our fellowship." -Lead Pastor David Cassidy

𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩

𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀’ 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: Earlier today pastors around the United States led their congregations in praying in the wake of yesterday’s failed assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump. We offer one such prayer by David Cassidy, pastor of Spanish River Church in Boca Raton, Florida. Below is a lightly edited version shared with permission.

It is with profound shock, grief, and sadness that our country is once again facing the specter of political violence. The assassination attempt on President Trump as he spoke at a Pennsylvania rally yesterday was an evil act that deserves condemnation across our society and among all of Christ’s servants.

Murder and its attempt is a violation of God’s law. It is an attack on his image. Political violence is not only an attack on a person but also an attempted subversion of the cherished liberties and the Constitutional order on which our Republic is founded. Many of us can recall such attacks in our lifetime, and it is right that we decry and lament them at every turn.

We may better do this today by humbly acting together as God’s people in the following ways.

First, we must give thanks to God that the life of President Trump was spared. While this heinous act injured him, it did not kill him, and for this, we may be genuinely grateful. Please join me in praying for his recovery, the comfort of his family, and his future protection from such harm.

Second, we must grieve and pray for the innocent, slain, and injured attendees of the rally and their families. This is a horrific personal crime, changing so many lives forever. The trauma of such loss and pain is great, and we must uphold all those overwhelmed with the agonizing weight of this sorrow.

In addition, we can and must pray for our country today and for all those who serve us in positions of authority and protection. How easily we forget those who are prepared to risk their lives to defend us; how quickly we forget to pray for those in office and those who aspire to such positions. Our renewed commitment to such prayer is of critical importance.

With one voice, we must reject all political violence and remind those who even jokingly refer to such terrible things that this can have no place in our society, and we must give it no place in our fellowship. As long as nations and governments exist, there will be political disagreements and differences. We must find the grace to speak of candidates and one another in ways that are not dehumanizing and give rise to extremists and their violent acts.

Our prayer for President Trump today and all who seek to hold high office must be accompanied by prayer for those already serving us: President Biden, Governor DeSantis, our senators and representatives, and all justices, whether serving at the state or federal level. Let us also remember our respective mayors, city council members, and other officials.

I hope that out of the ashes of this terrible act, a more gracious discourse and debate, a less extreme and polarized posture, and a more gracious and generous concern for one another during this election season will emerge. May God find us regularly praying together in our families and with one another for our country and for his protection and wisdom now and in the coming months.

Here is a prayer can offer together today:

My friend and colleague Ron Tobias departed for glory last night. All of us ⁦@src_church⁩ & ⁦@ChurchPlanting_⁩ mourn his passing even as we give thanks for his incredible service in the Gospel. Ron was a pioneering leader and incrediblly humble servant-pastor.

Grace creates peace.

Peace always follows grace.

Where there is no grace, you don't have peace.
