Began today with weekly prayer meeting. Each Saturday our local Gideon camp meets for prayer and breakfast. Getting on your knees and praying out loud for pastors, individuals, and for the Gideon ministry is awesome! The power of prayer should not be underestimated.
Our attendance was small today but still powerful. The breakfast group was even smaller but the conversation was good.
My email contained a note from a friend with comments from Charles (Chuck) Colson former Nixon aid and Watergate conspirator. Colson writes about a Worldwide view and how our expectations had changed. He nailed the fact that, today, individuals want instant gratification big houses, cars, etc.. They do not want to save for a purchase, instead they use a credit card. Additioanlly, he writes that our "elected officials" have gone on a spending spree. Again, he nailed it!
So, the question is how does the average citizen turn this around. I ponder this daily.
The folks that have lead this lifestyle are the same folks that changed our morals and have abandoned God! We have been silent while a very small group bend and alter our values.
I have very little respect for the French but I do admire how the common folk said enough and revolted and heads rolled. Heck, even the Iranians had enough courage, even in the face of death, to demonstrate over their recent elections. Yet, in the nation, who supposedly has freedom of speech and right to bear arms, we sit silently.
Our only option is to look to God!
