In Praise of Our Lord, Savior, and True Hope: Dear Father, We Turn to You in Prayer

Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord -- Philippines 2:11

From there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. -- Deuteronomy 4:29

When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior. -- Titus 3:4-6

Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. -- Daniel 2:20-22

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8:38,39

"It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” -- Patrick Henry [May 1765 Speech to the House of Burgesses]

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” - Patrick Henry

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His Apostles.... This is genuine Christianity and to this we owe our free constitutions of government." -- Noah Webster from public school textbook, 1831: "History of the United States"

“The policy of one age may ill suit the wishes or the policy of another. The Constitution is not subject to such fluctuations. It is to have a fixed, uniform, permanent construction. It should be, so far at least as human infirmity will allow, not dependent upon the passions or parties of particular times, but the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -- Joseph Story, U.S. Supreme Court

Ireland’s Pro-Life Laws Under Threat

One minute prayer: Almighty God, we pray You protect the pro-life Constitution of Ireland which outlaws abortion, but could be overturned across Europe, in a power-grab lawsuit that could have the same bad impact as Roe v. Wade had in America. Lord, we pray earnestly from Deuteronomy 30:19, “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” We also pray You would turn the hearts of those filing this lawsuit back to You, the one and only giver of life, in Jesus Name, Amen.

New York Rejects Gay Marriage, New Jersey Vote Soon

One Minute Prayer: Almighty God, we thank You for answering our prayer from November 27th when we asked that You would stop homosexual marriage in New York, where the Senate voted 38-24 to reject gay marriage. God we now pray for another victory in New Jersey, where they will vote this Thursday in a lame-duck session, whether to force homosexual marriage on conservative people who just voted against the liberal government agenda. From Genesis 5:2, “He created them male and female and blessed them.” Preserve the institution of marriage. in Jesus Name, Amen.

Arizona Church Ordered to Stop Feeding Homeless

One Minute Prayer: Almighty God, we pray Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.” God bless the Cross Roads United Methodist Church who has faithfully obeyed Your word for 50 years, but now has been told by a coldhearted retired Justice Robert Corcoran to stop feeding the homeless due to “zoning violations” and complaints by some residents. The church appealed this ruling, so we ask that You would rule in favor of the church who feeds the poor, in Jesus name, Amen.

NC Lesbian Adoption Case Continues - State Senator Julia Boseman (D-New Hanover)

One Minute Prayer: Almighty God, we pray for a North Carolina child since a court has ruled in favor of the non-biological “parent” and took the child away from his biological mother, Melissa Jarrell. He will now live under the influence of the deviant homosexual lifestyle. God, Your will is that every child have a mother and a father, but for those who don’t, we pray Psalm 27:10, though your mother and father forsake you, the Lord will receive you, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Massachusetts Town Outlaws "Merry Christmas" Sign

One Minute Prayer: Almighty God, we pray for the North Andover town counsel to come to their senses, as not only have they removed a Merry Christmas sign from a fire station where it had stood for 50 years, but also removed a Jewish menorah during the 8 days of Hanukkah. Lord we pray from Isaiah 9:6, Unto us a child is born, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders. Help the counsel implement this Truth, in Jesus Name, Amen

ACLU Continues to Harass Christian Educators

One Minute Prayer: Almighty God, grant victory for Liberty Counsel and the Christian Educators Association International, who are standing up to anti-Christian bullies at the ACLU, who are aggressively trying to overturn a recent court order protecting Frank Lay, Robert Freeman, and Michelle Winkler who offered a prayer at a meal. Lord, from Amos 5:24 we pray that justice would roll on like a river, and that you would give courage to Judge Rodgers, who is now in control of this ruling, even while she is being threatened with impeachment by the enemies of liberty, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Korean Physician Faces Death-Threats after Pro-Life Conversion

One Minute of Prayer: Almighty God, we rejoice with You that Korean physician, Shim Sang-duk, who provided abortions for twenty years, has now not only stopped providing abortions after admitting that he watched post-abortive women cry tears unlike any tears cried by mothers who gave birth, but is urging other obstetricians to stop killing the preborn children in South Korea. We thank you from Ezekiel 36:26 and we pray You protect him, as he faces death threats for no longer doing abortions, in Jesus Name, Amen.
