Join with fellow FREEPERS across the world to pray for AMERICA:
For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, Technology, Religious Freedom and the Media.
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
Religion Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.
"Finally, brothers, rejoice. Set things in order. Be encouraged. Agree with one another. Be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you." (2 Cor. 13:11)
“ . . .Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Prv. 22:6).
"The principle behind this proverb is applicable to both families and nations. It being impossible for an educational or legal system to separate itself from underlying beliefs (as moral laws and practices are based upon such), America's children were once most generally raised and schooled (see below) with the basic moral values of the general Christian faith being taught. Which (though there were exceptions and deviations) promoted reverence for God, the Bible, and the Lord's day, honor toward parents, respect toward authority, and in general, disapproval of sin and esteem of righteousness."
" . .To the degree that a society obeys the light innately given them (Rm. 2:12-14), and is influenced of the Bible and it's evangelical gospel, it will be both restrained from doing evil, and inspired to do good, so that man's universal lust for pleasure, possessions and power does not bring an early end to it, nor bring it to be overtly suppressed by government, or subdued into being mere functionaries of man or earthly religion. This is especially critical for a free country . . ."
" . ..“All societies of men must be governed in some way or other. The less they may have of stringent State Government, the more they must have of individual self-government. The less they rely on public law or physical force, the more they must rely on private moral restraint. Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet." (Robert Winthrop)

"The commission of the born – again Church is to bring souls into submission to the Lord Jesus by spiritual means, “By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left” (2Cor. 6:6, 7; cf. Eph. 6:10-19) — and not by physical arms..."
"In contrast, the commission of the State enables it to use the sword of men to constrain obedience on those who are not sufficiently controlled by the former means (Rm. 13:1-7). It thus follows that the weaker the church is, the more powerful the State must become. “For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof” (Prv. 28:2a)." . . .
" . . . And by the mercy and power of Almighty God may we serve the Lord with gladness”(Ps. 110:2), loving one another, and “holding forth the Word of Life” to the lost“ (Phil. 2:16), despite persecutions, “rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2Tim. 2:15). “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Eph. 6:13)!".
