FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash   Help us, LORD. Help us to hold on to the Democratic Republic of the U n i t e d S t a t e s o f A m e r i c a —this land You gave us all those years ago. Help us to remember the former things: The wars that were fought, the men who died, first to make this country free, and then to keep it free and preserve our O N E N a t i o n u n d e r G o d . We look to You for salvation—both physically and spiritually—for You are God, and there is no other. [1] There is none like You who has declared the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done.   For You were the One who said, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” [2]   Thank You, LORD God Almighty, for the prosperity You have given A m e r i c a and the f r e e d o m we have enjoyed for the past 2 5 0 y e a r s . But this land, this nation, You established as Your missionary nation to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and tell t...

FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash LORD God, as we begin our day, we come before Your throne and bow in Your presence. Thank You for our nation—the L a n d of the F r e e and the H o m e of the B r a v e —the country You gave us. As Christians, true believers in Jesus Christ , we have been complacent and sometimes apathetic about the rights, freedoms, and blessings You have provided.   While we have been asleep, the evil one has sewn tares and gained ground on our watch. He seeks to destroy our land and enslave our people. [1]   His deceived workers don’t even realize it is Satan who controls their puppet strings, because their hearts and consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. [2] These blinded ones have become like their father [3] and puppet master, “…workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts.” [4]   Gaining more and more power is their immediate goal, O LORD, yet they are caught in Satan’s web like dinn...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Holy, holy, holy, are You, O LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of Your glory. And holy, holy, holy, are You, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. You alone are worthy, O Lord, to receive all glory and honor and power, for You created all things and for Your pleasure they are and were created. Let my prayer be set before You as incense and the lifting of my hands as pleasing to You as the evening sacrifices were before Jesus Christ, our Lord, God in flesh, came to die on a cross to pay the penalty for our sin, was buried, arose the third day from the dead, ascended to heaven, and lives forever to make intercession for us. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We repent before You in dust and ashes.   Today, LORD, the man You chose to be the President of this great nation, Donald J. Trump, has called us to rededicate our country, A m e r i c a , back to You. You chose and preappointed this land as our dwelling place and gave true ...

timothy-eberly-wnrxQGBhbh8-unsplash Here we are at the beginning of another year, and it hasn’t started out very well. There’ve been some highs, but lots of lows, and sadly, the lows continue. It’s hard for me to understand why humans feel it necessary to riot, break the law, fight, do damage, destroy property, trespass, and hate, and then act as though their behavior is righteous when it is anything but.   Why doesn’t our younger generation respect authority and the laws of our land? Why do they feel the need to protect criminals instead of America’s citizens? Where are common sense and eyes to see clear-cut right and wrong? And why do some so-called leaders desire the demise of our country, spew lies, and egg-on rioters?   What happened to our Land of the Free and Home of the Brave ? How did our older generation fail to pass on respect for our President, law enforcement, and care for fellow citizens with different opinions? Why could we not impart sanity, good judgme...

  robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash July 4, 2024 , A m e r i c a ’ s 248 th Birthday! The moment the founders of our great Nation made the unanimous decision to DECLARE our independence!   In the opening statements of our God-given, in my opinion, D e c l a r a t i o n o f I n d e p e n d e n c e , the signers laid out the right of “the thirteen united States…” to make such a pronouncement. They found it necessary for "the one people,” us Americans, “to dissolve the political bands which connected them with another…,” Great Britain. “…and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of…God entitle them…that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”   These founders of America proclaimed boldly the equality of all humans, stating they are “…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R i g h t s , that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”   Moreover,...

Lorrie Naylor Photo   From M e m o r i a l D a y to I n d e p e n d e n c e D a y , there are thirty-four days, and thirty of them now celebrate SIN calling it pride . Not the pride we feel in our children, spouse, family, and friends or when singing our National Anthem or God Bless America . No, this pride defies God Almighty, desecrates His Holy Word, and yet proves it TRUE at the same time.   Those who celebrate—hate God—even though they may not realize it, as some claim to be Christians. So why flaunt sin and act like their lifestyle doesn’t grieve God’s heart?   Pride originated with Lucifer/Satan as he proclaimed, “I will be like the Most High.” [1] By his cunning, he deceived one-third of the angels. And after their expulsion from heaven, they, along with their leader, roam around in the dry places [2] until they find one who will believe their lies. [3]   But Satan hated God first. His goal was to depose the Most High and reign as king. Wh...
