UPdate

Hopefully this site will be up and running by the first of the year. The purpose of the blog is to encourage and equip Christians to pray for our nation. You only have to click on foxnews.com or listen to an x-rated conversation between teenagers at the mall to see that our country is drowning in sin. Some people don't like to hear the word "sin", but it is the right word to describe the murder, rape, greed, sexual immorality, idolatry, and other offenses that we commit daily against God... but our God is merciful and, just as He had mercy on the city of Ninevah (Jonah 3:10, 4:11), I pray He would have mercy on America.

The plan is to have a weekly topic that is general in nature and is supported by Scripture. Praying Scripture is a great way to get our wills in alignment with God's. As intercessions are made on a general topic, I trust that God will take us deeper by putting specific people and issues related to that topic on our hearts for prayer.

Intercessory prayer can be difficult and if you are busy...or lazy...praying for others--especially our nation--can take a back seat to everything else. I know this first-hand! But, as those who say that we love and follow Christ, may we not sin against God by refusing to pray for our countrymen:

1Sa 12:23 - Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

So, if you would like to join in praying for Salvation for the Nation, check back soon!
