have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God.

(1 Timothy 2:2 NCV)

I do not agree with everything that our leaders in Washington D.C. do. I have opinions as to what should be done and how it should be done. It is not natural for me to pray for our President and Leaders in Congress when so much is going wrong. In spite of this I need to pray daily not only for our country but for the leaders that are in charge. Not because I agree or disagree with their policy but because I am called to do so. I need to pray for their wisdom and for Godly advisors to assist them is what must be very difficult decisions. I need to pray for their safety and for the safety of their families and associates.

I need to pray daily.

Signs

Information is flowing around the world at a rate never seen before. Ministries are able to get the word out in ways never before seen in history. The bible is available as never before and encouragement is just a click away.

But there is another side.

Pornography accounts for a great percentage of total internet traffic. The internet certainly did not cause this but it is certainly allowing this to happen. The internet is a tool that can be used for wonderful good or for great evil. This is not a new issue for society to face. The printing press did not cause Playboy magazine to be published but is allowed it to be.

Pray for the safe use of technology in your life.

“Behind Calvary is the throne of heaven. And if we have seen God acting at the Cross with power and great glory, if to that conquering grace we have yielded up our souls in absolute, irrevocable commitment, then every suffering is transmuted, every despair is pierced through with hope; and bright against the dark background of the menace of the mystery of evil, we see the glory of the Kingdom that is to be.”

- James. S. Stewart, A Faith to Proclaim (Vancouver, BC; Regent College Publishing, 2002), 102
