Today’s Prayer

Father, on this day we ask that You open our eyes as responsible citizens, and especially as Christians, to see the situation that we face in our nation today. Let us each seriously reflect on Charles Colson’s words: ” the crisis that threatens us, the force that could topple our monuments and destroy our very foundations, is within ourselves. The crisis is the character of our culture, where the values that restrain inner vices and develop inner virtues are eroding. Unprincipled men and women, disdainful of their moral heritage and skeptical of Truth itself, are destroying our civilization by weakening the very pillars upon which it rests.” Remind us that we all have had a part in this, whether by being uninformed, or too busy, or deceived, we have allowed our nation to erode morally. Make us aware that You are calling us to choose leaders who will help us recover our moral compass. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Let’s eat.

What Believers Are

And what is it that God has said? That he has given us eternal life, and that this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:19 –

What Believers Have

Follow God’s example in everything you do just as a much loved child imitates his father.

What Believers Expect

1 John 3:2 – 

Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, right now, and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a mighty shout and with the soul-stirring cry of the archangel and the great trumpet-call of God. And the believers who are dead will be the first to rise to meet the Lord.

Quote of the Day

It is true that the faith, which I am enabled to exercise, is altogether God’s own gift; it is true that He alone supports it, and that He alone can increase it; it is true that, moment by moment, I depend upon Him for it, and that, if I were only one moment left to myself, my faith would utterly fail. ~George Muller~
