You have to put leather on your prayers, and what I mean is, you have to put faith in motion with your feet...take action.
We are in dire straits in this country, and until we resolve to get physical, then nothing will ever be accomplished. And yes, violence may be in order.
Pray that it's not.
Conceding defeat is unacceptable.
You are so very right. I once saw a saying in of all places...a garden center. But it is very, very true.
All those seed packets hanging on a wall won’t grow unless you do something with the seeds. In fact, pray over them all you want and they still won’t grow....
I saw an act of Faith today, am man in a garden planting seeds.
Prayer and Faith are not the same thing. Faith is an action moving in the direction of your prayers.
Why do you think they call me "grey_whiskers"?

Happy Easter, early (countdown to Guinness and Chocolate continues.)
Cheers!
“I’m not saying that prayer isn’t enough, but pray and then take action.”
Well, you’re right in the main line of history’s best protagonists. James said show me your faith and I’ll show you my faith by my deeds. Faith without works is dead.
The founders of this country were believers in the Judeo-Christian God, and they took up arms and wrested this land from the British.
Yep. You’re mainstream.
The violence of evil may be met with the violence of righteousness, justice, love, and grace.
The key to the proper use of violence in history is integrity, which uses authority without the abuse of authority. Once you have authority and abuse it, you have tyranny.
