Psalm 33:12 ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’
In exactly two weeks our nation will be electing those that will lead us. Most of us have never seen the political climate this way. It is absolutely tearing people, families and sometimes even churches and denominations apart. I am praying for churches, pastors and leaders of the SoCal Naz district over the next two weeks!
I am also praying for our nation! I believe we can love our nation and also love our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our love and commitment to Him is second to none. We also can love and appreciate the freedom we have; most importantly, the freedom to declare Jesus is Lord and to preach and tell others of the hope we have!
I strongly encourage all of us to vote. Our vote should correspond (as much as possible) with our values and morals as followers of Jesus and what we read in our Bibles. I know there are many opinions along these lines and I am not looking for a debate. I believe we are called to be salt and light. We should take our responsibilities as citizens in this land seriously. Our voices and values should be represented.
I am praying for you and those you influence. Jesus calls us to go and proclaim His Lordship in our nation and our world!
Thanks for all you do in His name!
