Billy Graham once said, “We have so many battles going on in America today that we should be a people of prayer. Our leaders need prayer. Our schools need prayer. Our youth need our prayers. Our families need our prayer.”
America is in a state of chaos and confusion. Mass murders on our citizens and police officers, riots in the streets, immorality and complete disregard of the law. We are being attacked by evil from without and within.
Today, more than ever the USA needs prayer. Chistian will you join with me and pray for revival in America? The only hope for peace in our country is that we as a nation turn back to God.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

America needs prayer. Our country is 238 years old and is in danger of collapsing from without and from within. Many of us will celebrate the 4th of July with picnics, fireworks and family parties not even taking one minute to stop and thank God for our great Country and ask His continued blessing on the USA. Christian, please take time to pray for America in these perilous time.
2 Chronicles 7:14 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of flying to a destination on a jet plane. What normally would take 14 hours to drive took only a little over an hour on a reliable plane. There was a momentary fear when I overheard the pilot say, “Oh no.” After a temporary power failure. Everything was back to normal in a few seconds and the trip was uneventful. I reached my destination safely.
This made me think of the examples on the website of the 3 planes. If you don’t know these examples go to the home page a scroll down until you see the pictures of 3 planes.
Everyone wants to go to Heaven but many people are trusting in the wrong “plane” to get them there. Trusting in Jesus death, burial and resurrection for payment for your sins is the only way we can reach our destination, Heaven. Have you made the right choice?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

“The Word of God is our chart and compass as Christian Fathers. Without it we lose our way.” Anonymous
A Christian father has a responsibility to teach his children the Word of God. To often in today’s world that training is left to Sunday school, Christian school, Grandma or neglected altogether. Getting the family together for Bible reading and prayer daily is the way to rear children who will not loose their way as teenagers and adults. Dads, it is not to late to start now.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sometimes as Christians we have to do things that are really hard. Standing for your convictions when everyone else is going along with the crowd. Telling the truth when it would be easier to not say anything to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. Witnessing to a close friend or relative when you know they will reject the gospel. Forgiving someone who has seriously hurt you.
These are just a few things that we may be called on to do. But we have the power and strength to do whatever is hard because God is with us in every situation and will bless our efforts when we follow Biblical principles. If we pray about those hard things and trust God to help us do the right thing, He does give the power and strength to do them.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Mark 4:39And he (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Residents of Florida and the East Coast are preparing for a tropical storm named Colin. June 1st, hurricane season starts. Many people fear these storms and it is right to take precautions, however, as Christians we know that the Lord is in control.
We also have “storms” in our lives for which we have no control, but He is the only One who can control every situation with those words, “Peace be still.” Whatever the storm is for you today or in the future if it be physical, mental or spiritual turn to Jesus to calm your fears and bring peace to your heart.

Going through some papers of Founder of SOS Events, Tom Curtis, I found this statement:
“You are not pleasing God if you are not bringing people to Christ.”
The question is, Are you pleasing God? Every Christian should have a desire to witness and win souls.
Tom Curtis was a great example to all of us to be soul winners. The last day in the hospital and only 6 days before he went to Heaven he won 2 doctors and a nurse to the Lord and had a steady stream of hospital staff come to bid him goodbye and tell him that they had been saved through his testimony and witness.
Proverbs 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls:

A beautiful antique clock was given to me as a gift recently. Clocks are one of the things I enjoy and different sounds are heard on every hour in my home.
Time passes swiftly, however, and those sounds are a reminder to keep busy doing the work that the Lord has called us to do. There will be a time, maybe sooner than we think, that the door will close on our freedom to tell others about Jesus openly. Let us not let opportunities slip by without witnessing and working for the Lord.
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
