Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation

But you are a chosen people,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
God’s special possession,
that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

And pray
that we may be delivered
from wicked and evil people,
for not everyone has faith.

Heavenly Father –

We pray that Your mercy and Providence prevail in the coming elections. We confess as a people we have turned away from You and the principles of Your Holy Word.

Give us a heart of repentance and zeal to know You and love You with all our heart. With the power of the Holy Spirit, may we keep Your commandments and be known as a nation whose God is the Lord.

Keep all our heroes, who fight the battles on all fronts – physically, morally, and spiritually. Shield them in Your special care. May Your presence dwell in them and give them strength in the power of Your Spirit.

In Jesus Name we pray,

Amen

-----------

Give thanks to the LORD,
for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Psalm 118:1 (NIV)

Keep praying for America

-----------

[NEWwoman]

Please join us in praying for America and our American heroes who defend us

Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning.
If anyone does not speak according to this word,
they have no light of dawn.

Isaiah 8:20 (NIV)

What Love Is October 31, 2014

Read: Romans 5:1-8

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. —Romans 5:8

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 22-23; Titus 1

Years ago I asked a young man who was engaged to be married, “How do you know that you love her?” It was a loaded question, intended to help him look at his heart’s motives for the upcoming marriage. After several thoughtful moments, he responded, “I know I love her because I want to spend the rest of my life making her happy.”

We discussed what that meant—and the price tag attached to the selflessness of constantly seeking the best for the other person, rather than putting ourselves first. Real love has a lot to do with sacrifice.

That idea is in line with the wisdom of the Bible. In the Scriptures there are several Greek words for love but the highest form is agape love—love that is defined and driven by self-sacrifice. Nowhere is this more true than in the love our heavenly Father has shown us in Christ. We are deeply valued by Him. Paul stated, “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).

If sacrifice is the true measure of love, there could be no more precious gift than Jesus: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son” (John 3:16 nlt).

Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
Shouldst die for me? —Wesley

The measure of love is what you are willing to give up for it.

Insight

As a result of Christ’s sacrifice, Paul mentions two great benefits for the follower of Christ. In verse 1, he says that we have “peace with God,” an idea that he unpacks in Philippians 4, where we read of the incomprehensible peace of God, but also the relationship we have with the God of peace Himself (vv.8-9). In Romans 5:2, Paul also declares that we now have “access” to God. This was a stunning idea that he explained more fully in Colossians 1:21, “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled.” We receive the gifts of peace with God and access to God because of Christ’s loving sacrifice on our behalf.
