Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation



: 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
:
: Amen!'

The Law of Reaping and Sowing


I caught just a little bit of a radio program a while back while running and errand. I can't even say who the host was, but I remember his message:

Sow a thought....Reap an act!
Sow an act...Reap a habit!
Sow a habit...Reap a character!
Sow a character...Reap a destiny!

What are you sowing?


JOB 4:8 As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.


HOS 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes and showers righteousness on you.

An editorial note:
I found out that the program was Grace To You - John MacArthur .
