Hello, my friends. As you probably know, I'm taking part in a day of prayer on July 3rd. If you haven't heard about "United We Kneel", please check it out at

My family is already praying for radical change in this country. We love America, and it grieves us to see our nation slip so far from what God expects. Gay marriage is no longer an abomination, it is accepted. Abortion is no longer seen as murder, it is a mother's choice. Families are breaking apart. And the next generation isn't holding much promise.

I say we don't need to only be praying for those in leadership in our country (even though that is extremely important). We also need to be praying for families. That God would raise up strong Christian parents who will raise radical children. Our own families need to be the change.

We need to be the radical ones.

It all starts with prayer. Let us all pray for our country. For our President. For our people. Pray that God will give US the strength we need to live for Him in this sin-saturation world. We must be IN the world and not OF this world. (Here's a hint: if the world is pleased with your actions... then you're probably not doing what God wants. Sadly, this is usually the truth. Godliness leaves the world scratching it's head in bewilderment, and the world can even get a little offended. I'm not saying we should go around TRYING to offend people with our beliefs, but we MUST always be certain that we are serving God rather than men.)

God bless!
