America

     A nation built on prayer and the Bible, we must return to the God of our Father's.  He holds nations and people in His hands.

    Consider the many unusual aspects in the settling of America's thirteen colonies, the enduring and winning of the seven years War for Independence, and the establishing of the first Christian Constitution the world has ever known.  All these " human events" required  "a peculiar people zealous of good works. (Titus2:14;    1Peter 2:9).
     For one hundred and fifty years,  God gathered and allowed representatives from all parts of Europe and Africa to come to America until 1775.  There were almost three million people settled upon our eastern seaboard.  Such a diversity of races, colors, and creeds had not been able to live peaceably with one another in their respective homelands, yet in America they were able to unite voluntarily, and, without a strong central government, defeat England, the greatest military power of the time.   It was fairly easy for them to transition from a confederation to a federation-the world's first Christian republic.

Builders of Freedom

     It was the common man who built upon the philosophy of freedom that produced a nation which offered hope and liberty to the people of the world who were shrouded in the darkness of despotism. (tyrany)

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" ( Ps.11:3)

A MOTION FOR PRAYER

     "In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had our daily prayers in this room for the divine protection.  Our prayers, Sir, were heard...and they were graciously answered...

     "I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs the affairs of men.  And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?  We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writing that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. 'I firmly believe this; and I also believe that, without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel. . . "I therefore beg leave to move that, henceforth, prayers imploring the assistance of heaven and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service."

  Taken from Foundations of Liberty

Father's

Father's

God made them out of the dirt to be the foundation in which the family is made on.  The stability of the home is placed on the Father's shoulders.  He was made to be the gate keeper to keep evil out and good in, to establish a safe environment in which each member can thrive and become all they were meant to be.

God bless Father's that step up to the plate and be first the person they should be.  "A godly Father is worth his weight in gold."

It takes time for a craftsman to build a wall.  He makes sure the space is exact, the mixture correct, and the bricks in the right order.  Do, we take time to put the right ingredients in a child, to make him a child that will follow God and His plan? If you know how to, be sure to mentor others.  Raising children is almost a lost art.  If you have a good Father be sure and tell him so.

My Father was absent.  He left when I was three and a half.  If you didn't have a Father to love and teach you who God made you?  Then, look to your Heavenly Father.  He can give you what your earthly Father can't.  If your Father doesn't know how to father a child, he can't give you what he doesn't have.  Instead of hating and blaming him realize it was not your fault.  Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.  The lost child, lost affection, lost dreams of having a good Father.  Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost.  He came to redeem that lost part of you.  Jesus will come in take away your sins and give you hope for the future.  Ask Him to come into your heart and take over.  Give Him all your heartache and sorrow, after all that is why He came to earth.  He is waiting.

 Psalms 27: 10 If your Father or Mother forsake you the Lord will take me up.
