Let's Not be a Statistic
Years ago, I read the statistics connecting Christians and voting. I was shocked! Only 50% of all Christians are registered to vote, and of the half that are registered to vote only half of those ACTUALLY vote, and of the half that actually vote only half of those actually vote Biblical values. The implications of these statistics are mind-boggling. I quickly realized that if we could raise those statistics even slightly, we could change our country.
He Delights in Every Step to Follow Him
I love to pray! I love to ponder on prayer, and I love to wait to hear or discern God’s direction or responses to those prayers. As I was reading Psalm 37 today, I was struck by the clarity with which that Psalm illustrated God’s powerful love and protection for His people. We are all familiar with these verses:
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your ways to Him, and He will do it.” Psalm 37:4-5
The Church Has Power (and we don’t even know it!)
The CHURCH of Jesus Christ, all of us together regardless of denomination or worship styles, have a power at our fingertips that we aren’t using. It is a secret weapon that isn’t really that secret, but it might as well be - we aren’t using it to it’s potential. What am I talking about? The power of our VOTE. Yes, simply VOTING.
This is the Awakening
We think about prayer. We think about God sometimes. Maybe sometimes. Are we asleep or awake? dHere a quote from our culture over the last few months. I must say I never saw this messenger coming.
“People who don’t believe are asleep. They are the walking dead, but this is the awakening!”
Guess who said that?
