The hope of America is not politics, education or social reforms. I love our nation; I love the fact that my father & many of my relatives fought for the freedoms we enjoy, but IF Christians don’t change we’re going to lose even more of those freedoms. I believe the hope of America is Jesus Christ and scripture is clear; when we begin to call good evil and evil good, judgment will follow. For Jack and the rest of my grandkids, I hope and pray for a change.
Months ago, I encouraged our church family to pray and practice 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says: “…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 I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV
From this passage I think we find 4 Things Every Follower Of Christ Should Do – NOW
- Choose Humility – 1st before God and then with people
- Pray – earnestly with humility, repentance, confession and thanksgiving
- Seek God 1st in every aspect of life – home, work, school, hobbies, etc
- Turn – from anything Scripture calls wicked – (repentance)
