2.2-National Prayer Breakfast

2.2-
 
If you are a person who believes in God and America is at her best as one nation under God then I suggest you go to CSPAN.org and watch all of the National Prayer Breakfast today that is available there.

Barry Black the Senate Chaplain said that Isaiah 55 is right that God's ways are higher than man's ways. He said that the three who faced the fire for remaining loyal to God were sustained in the fire by Jesus Christ.

Mark Burnett is a television producer introduced President Trump and said that he had known him as a man of his word.

President Trump said the five words he heard most often as he campaigned for office "We are praying for you." He said the Bible he placed his hand on was given by his mother and she and his father taught him, "To whom much is given much shall be required."

He said that he believed that all men are endowed by their creator with "certain unalienable rights" he said that the soldier who most recently died for our country had "laid down his life for his friends" so that they could have freedom of religion and other freedoms.

Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware) said that his father had attended a small Presbyterian church where they did things "decently and in order". A speaker at their church prayer breakfast challenged the men to go our and obey Jesus to "visit prisoners". His father did and brought many prisoners into their home.

Mercy Me sung Amazing Grace (old and new version)

Senator Amy Cloventure (sp) from Minnesota closed with this prayer "Help us to Draw Close to God and to each other."

I would encourage you to go to U Tube to see the whole program.

I would caution you to not plug into a small sound bite picked by any mediat outlet.

Over all I was encouraged that I am a citizen first of heaven, but secondly that many still believe that we are to be "one nation under God."

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
