User ID: 70443898 United States 11/19/2019 01:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | James 4 1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. |

User ID: 77989510 United States 11/19/2019 03:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The non-profit, non-partisan organization, My Faith Votes, has issued a call to prayer. The group is calling for all Americans to understand the impeachment process and for Christians to pray regularly for the country during this time. Quoting: christian The organization urges all Americans and Christians to do this even though "the political and partisan noise is rising to an all-time high," its website states. "While it's tempting to shove the hearings aside and chalk it all up to partisan politics, we need to be informed, engaged, and bring the solutions of our faith to the discussion table," Jason Yates, CEO of My Faith Votes, said in an email. However, now that a formal impeachment inquiry has launched, Christians must be informed and committed to faithfully praying for our nation during this process (1 Timothy 2:1-2)," the website states. The prayer guide involves four steps: 1. "Pray for Truth and Justice to Prevail: Pray for our Constitution to be upheld and followed throughout the inquiry of the impeachment process. Pray for any hidden information or political motives by either political party to be exposed, and for the truth to be seen and heard. Pray the truths found in scripture regarding justice over the impeachment process (Leviticus 19:15, Deuteronomy 16:19, Proverbs 21:15, 1 Corinthians 4:5)." [link to www1.cbn.com (secure)] 1st JOHN 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” RISE UP!!! Utter rubbish. Religion is not nor should it be a quasi-political tool. Pure idiocy and corruption of faith. You say that but our founding fathers based the set up of the US constitution and our justice system on Biblical law. President George Washington, September 17th, 1796 "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible" His Prayer At Valley Forge "Almighty and eternal Lord God, the great Creator of heaven and earth, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; look down from heaven in pity and compassion upon me Thy servant, who humbly prorate myself before Thee." George Washington The prayer is a personal prayer, and a just one. The prayer has nothing to do with politics. That has nothing to do with the kind of political prayer OP is suggesting. There's nothing wrong with prayer about politics. |

User ID: 77989510 United States 11/19/2019 04:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:4-6 Do not let deceivers trick you into holding things back from God or limiting your intimacy and relationship with Him. God is loves us, and if we are sincere, He will hear us and lead us in every aspect of life according to His perfect will. Do not think there is anything you cannot talk to God about. There is nothing you can hide from Him anyways. If you are anxious about world events or social decay, pray to God and let Him comfort you and lead you! Furthermore, do not let deceivers trick you into compartmentalizing any part of your life from God. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." - Galatians 2:20 A Christian lives every part of his life for God. There is no part you can keep or hide from God. If there is any part you are trying to hold back or hide from God, now is the time to repent and surrender yourself completely to Him. Consider the tax collector. After he became Christian, he did not quit his job but went back and made right the corruption he did. Likewise, any government official, from the President to the lowliest soldier or paper pusher, or any doctor, or anyone in any profession, must let God direct him in everything, including in his job. Being a Christian is not a part-time thing you do only after work, only on weekends, only on Sundays, only with your friends, or only this or that. No, being a Christian is living a COMPLETE NEW LIFE for Jesus. No holding back, no hiding, no compartmentalizing. |
