AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!--YOUR:

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

I have this overwhelming sense that objective Evil is moving and gathering strength in this world largely because of loss of faith in God.
I pray God to strengthen us in our faith, for Christians to look to their hearts; that He may bless us and our fair country.

I join in your prayer for Christian revival or renewal throughout our land.

Truly, there is only One Great Commandment - loving God surpassingly above all else (Matt 22) is the most thing any of us will ever do.

And if we do not return to our first love, no matter what else we may get "right" we run the risk of the Ephesians, that our light will go out.

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. – Revelation 2:1-5

To God be the glory!
