Today's Issues

Like everyone else I have watched our nation's history unfold over the past years.  Everyone seems to have an opinion on where the church of God should land on many of the issues facing us today.

However, take a moment and reflect on what these words mean.

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—  for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good, and pleases God our Savior,  who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NIV)

How does this apply to you, today?  Is this something you take to heart as the word of God?  Have more complaints left your lips than prayers?  Are you discussing issues more than praying about them?

How will you continue for the next four years, now that you have read the above Scripture?
