My Jordanville prayer book is right next to me, I’ve cracked it open yesterday after many weeks of willingly being weak and submitting to my sin with little shame. It’s been a struggle, it is my job to change my life around and create the world I want.
Amen, brother. Worship is a battleground, and prayer is powerful. God in Heaven rejoices the moment he hears our prayers.
Hallowed be thy name, Your Kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Even if Trump loses, all is not lost. Post Tenebras, Lux. After Darkness, Light. Stay faithful, stay strong. Pray for God's strength, wisdom, and power to be bestowed upon us.
As a Christian, it boggles my mind to see so many Christians giving hearty approval of and support to a man so obviously antithetical to everything Jesus stands for. If our country is lost it’s because Christians have abandoned the teachings of Jesus, hated their neighbors who disagree with them, and made a deal with the devil just to try to keep those they have hated from scoring a mostly meaningless victory over them. Jesus was not a pragmatist; the ends do not justify the means. It is better to lose honorably than win dishonorably. On election day, write in the name of an honorable Christian leader if you know of one or simply don’t vote. Outcomes are God’s domain; our responsibility is merely to do the next right thing. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil and consequently can never be the right thing.
Puritanical death-spiraling like this is exactly why we keep losing. Honor is something we should aspire to have, but you ignore the obvious to preserve your own supposed moral integrity: We do not have an honorable culture. We have a culture mired in such depravity that Sodom and Gamorrah burned for less. You cannot expect honor or virtue to arise from such conditions. Regardless of his faults, Trump is at least willing to listen. The Democrats are not. They despise you and want you dead.
Your refusal to vote at all, or to write in some poor sod unconsulted, is an act of moral cowardice. The fact that you'll write in someone who didn't run is the most condemning idea of the comment. You'll gladly shovel grave responsibility onto someone who didn't ask, didn't campaign, and that you never consulted to begin with. In your desperation to avoid looking like the bad guy in the eyes of an insane, degenerate society you'll gladly throw your pastor under the bus and use him as a shield. If you're that desperate to appear like a "good person" to the New York Times because you didn't vite for Trump,, write yourself in instead.
The world is on fire because you think the lesser of two evils, or writing in someone is acceptable. Thousands of children in the Middle East. No more men left in Ukraine. Your ideas are pathetic and worthless.
“God provides the wind, man must raise the sail."

Excellent article and advice.
I love the last YouTube playlist!

Pray for most younger generation is feels so fake.
But fake it till you make it. Even if we do not understand these things we must engage in them relying on past wisdom.
Half way through the year I decided to start bible in a year and catch up. It has been life changing.
Taking time to contemplate life, to give oneself to God and to thoughts of higher outside of 1 hour on Sunday is so important.
Instead of spending time brooding, on stewing in the culture you get elevated.
Don't know how to pray do it badly to begin and don't do it alone.
Praying is THE most powerful thing we can do. All our efforts are vanity if God is not with us.
Amen, brother. Worship is a battleground, and prayer is powerful. God in Heaven rejoices the moment he hears our prayers.
