    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,197 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

    God through Pilate gives Israel one last chance before consigning the nation to perpetual judgment. Their abject rejection meant the loss of the nation ethnically and opened the door to all who will believe to become God's chosen people.

    One Last Chance John 19:8–16 Introduction Last week we saw Pilate pronounce three times that he found no guilt in Jesus and tried to get Jesus released. First he tried to get the crowd to choose Barabbas. Then he tried the sympathy approach by having Jesus beaten up a bit and mocked by ...read more

    If these people, who were so instrumental in establishing our nation, were here to say & do these things in our country today, they'd be considered right-wing radicals, & a threat to our nation.

    Our nation is on moral decline. God will continue to bless America and bring healing to our land only if we continue to seek Him.

    HEAL OUR LAND ILLUSTRATION: French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, said, “I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests—and it was not there.

    In the midst of a nation where people are beginning to ask questions about where God was when New York & Washington were hit, this is a humble effort to deal with that question.

    OPEN: A little girl came home from a neighbor’s house where her little friend had died. "Why did you go?" questioned her father. "To comfort her mother," said the child.

    Jeremiah’s call was not as outwardly manifested. It was simply the Word of the Lord came to him. For Jeremiah was his destiny that was emphasized. Before he was formed in the womb the Lord had this plan for him

    In history we find those prominent figures who are considered men and women of destiny. In the Bible we find those who are men and women of destiny. We will look at one such man of destiny, the prophet Jeremiah. He was called in a day of crises. The call to serve God is different in many cases, ...read more

    Pray

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 6, 2024
     | 682 views

    The great thing is that as Christians, we don't have to wait until there is proclamation, or wait for a certain day in order to pray. The call to pray is stated clearly in scripture. One place especially clear is found in II Chronicles 7:14.

    Alba 5-5-2024 PRAY II Chronicles 7:14 This past Thursday, May 2nd, was the National Day of Prayer. A bill was passed on April 17, 1952 stating that: “The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of ...read more

    A call to prayer for the US - useful for a 4th of July type message, but not limited to that. Prayer for our nation is biblical, necessary, and a regular practice of the citizen of the Kingdom of God

    It’s the time of year still that you have to keep an eye on the weather. I’m a fan of Doppler radar, and of smart phone technology. I have an app now that tells me how many minutes it will be before it starts to rain where I’m at, and then it tells me how long the rain will last. ...read more

     | 2,014 views

    Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). The signs of our times seem to be indicating an increasing hostility toward Christianity, which has lost its place as the nation’s primary guiding ethic.

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s certainly true today, amen? They not only know where you live and work, but probably know what kind of car you drive, when you take a shower, what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream or your favorite show on TV, what station you listen to in the car.

    According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

    To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?
