To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father In Heaven,
Holy and Sanctified is Your Most Wonderful Name!
You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The Most High!
You Alone Are The One True God Of Abraham,
You Are The Ancient Of Days,
LORD of Hosts,
and Rock of All Ages,
Our Creator,
You Have Made Us,
and All That Is.
You Are The Same Yesterday,
Today, and Forever.
Your Loving Kindness Is from Everlasting To Everlasting.
Even When We Are Unfaithful,
You Are Always Faithful.

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

(2 Thessalonians 1)

1 Paul, Silas[a] and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Thanksgiving and Prayer)

3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

The situation in The Ukraine is very distressing, and there are as many opinions about it as there are people. Even on this Forum, where most people hold similar views about American Politics, I am seeing some deep divides. I think we can all agree though, that we aren't getting the whole story from either side.

Wartime propaganda is nothing new. Long before there was the Internet, artists and journalists were either enlisted or chose to stir up the emotions of the people with their art. Eugene Delacroix's painting of "Liberty Leading the People" has given us a vision of "Liberty" personified as a beautiful goddess, dressed in a flowing gown that would be totally inappropriate for battle, but it is an allegory that we still recognize. Francisco Goya's harsh realism inThe Third of May 1808 is depicting an actual event, but in a dramatic and emotional manner. And, so it is with the media. Two outlets can be sharing the very same story, but with their own slant.

Paul had to write at least two letters to the Church in Thessalonica, because the dear souls in that community were being inundated with Fake News. Somehow, word had gotten around that Jesus Christ had already returned, taken His Chosen with him, and left the Thessalonians behind. Now, before you scoff at such a notion, there are some sects founded in the United States in the 19th Century that believe something similar. The leaders of these sects have to keep updating their literature to accomadate the fact that they are still here on Planet Earth. Some of these sects are huge and have missionaries all over the world. Other religions scoff at the idea that Jesus is EVER coming back, flying in the face of Christian Doctrine and Creeds that go back 2000 years. It would probably do all these people good to sit down and read Paul's Letters to the Thessalonians!

Paul assures the saints that Christ's Return is still in the future. He doesn't set dates, or even give a timeline, but does give clues as to what has to happen BEFORE this Earth-Shattering Event. The Event itself, though, will come at a time when we least expect it. That is why our lives should be filled with prayer and love, work and community. We should not be taken in by vain philosophies that distract us, nor by propaganda that enflames us. Unlike the Four W's of Journalism (Who, What, When, Where) we can be occupied by the Four W's of the Christian Walk: Watch, Wait, Work, and Worship.

Occupying till He Returns!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

God Bless America.

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

The Goya painting is superb in depicting the horror of war. Very emotional.

Way to go, ML - a different perspective on the same ruin I posted! I've been back to work for several weeks again - visible mainly on weekends only.

Timely message in these troubling times of war and propaganda and fake news.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem as well as our beloved America—and Canada, and the Ukraine and Russia and China and Taiwan.

Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’
2 Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together.
4 To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there the thrones for judgement were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
‘May they prosper who love you.
7 Peace be within your walls,
and security within your towers.’
8 For the sake of my relatives and friends
I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
