The Need For Strong, Virtuous Leadership 

 

At home, in our churches, the community, and in government

 

February 13, 2011    

Have not I commanded thee?  Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
  
Joshua 1:9 KJV
Greetings!
  

With politicians unable to distinguish between their own political well being and that of the nation's future generations; out of wedlock teen pregnancies as a tiara of pride amongst our youth; Sodomite 'Marriage'activist judges redefining marriage, morality, and the family; a media that loves to promote deviant behavior; immoral pastors and priests; openly gay men and women seeking positions of leadership in the church; an educational establishment that sanctifies political correctness rather than moral character and analytical thinking; cheating, from Wall Street to your street, to our military academies, courtrooms and our very households; a growing number  whose main goal is getting what they want no matter what it costs others; and no one willing to say  publicly what is moral and immoral, what is ethical and unethical. . . there is a growing recognition that America is in a leadership crisis.

 

We are in desperate need for, as one commentator said, "two fisted moral clarity" from our leaders, be they in the pulpit, the pew, or politics. President John F. Kennedy's  famous statement, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country", is more relevant today than at any time in our nation's history.

 

Call2Fall Church Prayer 1Our Father, the only true God, we come before You with broken hearts, broken at our own failure to honor You in our personal and private lives, as husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, believers in You as the only way to salvation, the abundant life, strength while on earth, with You in our hearts as our LORD and KING.  We have not done all that we ought, but have fallen into the ways of this world with the same appetites and goals, as if heaven were here on earth when we know it is not. Forgive us LORD as we turn our hearts back to You, seek Your Face, and surrender our lives, our will, and our earthly strength and God given gifts to Your service.  Help we men to learn once again how to be leaders in our homes, our churches, and our communities, to the glory of God  and the wellbeing of our wives, children, neighbors and fellow workers, on behalf of Your Kingdom and Your dear Son Who lived and died for us that we might be saved from the imprisoning power of the Prince of the power of the air, and his destructive ways in our lives.  We give Thee thanks for Your delivering power.  May we acknowledge it, embrace it as our own as You have taught, by faith, and go forth as the men we are called to be, can be, and will be by your mercy, grace, and indwelling power.  Come quickly LORD and may You find us faithful, not as mean pleasers in the fear of men, but as warriors, men whose strength is found in following and obeying You.  In the Name of the ever living LORD of lords and KING of kings, King Jesus. Lead on oh KING eternal!  Amen and Amen!

 

 

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.  We are destroying  speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

 

II Corinthians 10:3-5 

To our Visitors and New Friends 

 
Lincoln Memorial - MorningRestore America has been calling Christians to awaken to their citizenship duty and voting responsibility for eleven years.  Given the increasing threat to the well being of the nation from within, and without, by the ungodly, and the salt and light ambassadors we are called to be by our Saviour, it is imperative that we stand together for life, liberty, and the best way to happiness the world has ever known, the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Please  partner with us as we occupy responsibly until He comes.
