Timely Words From Psalm 11

Read Psalm 11.

1.  A word to the Christian:  God is your Refuge (11:1-3).  You do not have to flee and you do not have to fear.  Leave room for God to intervene.  Expect Him to.  Just because things seem beyond help doesn't mean there is no hope.

2.  A word to the nation:  God is your Judge (11:4-7).  He sees everything and knows everything.  At some point, there will be judgment and separation.  The issue isn't whether you are "Christian" or not.  The issue is whether you are righteous or wicked.  On what basis do you say, "I'm among the righteous"?  Heaven is real, but so is Hell.  The Lord's judgment is perfect.  No one will be able to say, "You're wrong!"

3.  What to do now?  Vote.  Pray.  Repent.  Turn your attention unto the Lord.  Get your eyes off of the politicians, pundits and pollsters.

Challenges & Conversations (11/3/15)

Today is Election Day.  (I know, you can't contain your excitement. Please control yourself.)

There is more at stake today than starting to remove competing signs at the intersections.

It is easy to complain.  About anything.  Especially politicians, parties, platforms and policies. Today, you have an opportunity to do something about what upsets or concerns you.  Do more than complain.  Vote.

If you choose to stay home you are, by your apathy, stating you're okay with everything.  If you stay home, you relinquish your voice.  The first question I will ask you, should you start to complain, is this:  Did you vote?

First, do you know where to vote?  If you live in Armstrong County, click here and scroll to your city, town or borough.

It's Time to Move On

The wailing and whining about the election result needs to stop. We need to gear up and get ready for the next battle. That's what we do as people of faith and a party of principle. We don't stop believing what we believe. We do a better job of doing what we're supposed to do. That's how you attract voters and win elections.

Prayer for the Elections



Dear Heavenly Father,

 

You have given us this promise: ”...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

 

So, we pray to you. We turn from evil and look to you, our God. Please:

• Unite us.
• Strengthen us.
• Appoint and anoint our next president.

In the name of Christ we pray,

 

Amen
