-Strength for Today- "Transition isn't a “Protest,” but is a Planned-out Process!" - Matthew 16:18-19

   For far too long, Christians have looked to “worldly-based agendas,” when addressing the “malignant decay” of justice, that’s lacking within our:  

Churches, and  

Nation.  

   But if we’re going to be a nation whose purpose is to seek God’s face, during controversial circumstances, “...the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God, and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be to them that believe not the gospel of God” -1 Peter 4:17. 

Therefore, it's time to prayerfully reach:  

Across racial lines, and  

Biblically invest in every community, and 

  Develop a plan, whose purpose, is to bring about “unity” and “transformation,” throughout the church of Jesus Christ.  

   The “valued purpose” of the church must be to operate with a “Christ based agenda.” This is the only way that the “cause of Christ, can “maturely,” and “spiritually” happen in our land. However, for that to happen:  

Pastors  

Church leaders and  

Congregants must 

   “Obediently” seek the type of "reconciliation,” for “humankind” that Jesus died for. We, as Christians together must be that strong expression for unity, by living lives fully, on a mission for Christ as His disciples – Matthew 28:19-20.  

   However, if we, continue the path we’re on, we’ll never be able to promote:  

Justice or  

Righteousness 

  To a society whose minds are filled with “oppressive skepticism.” And if we don’t settle the “division crisis” that’s plaguing our land, this unbiblical “philosophy will keep us deadlocked hopelessly without a cause or plan, apart from the wise wisdom of God’s Word.  

  Therefore, America, it's time to truly look at the “practical,” “principles” of God’s “prophetic” Word, and ask ourselves,  

   1. “Do we genuinely want to be ONE nation under God? or  

 2. Do we want to continue down the same old path of division, which is apart from God? 

   God has before us a “wake-up call,” in the forms of the:  

Coronavirus, and other  

Inhumane outbreaks. 

   Therefore, if we, as the church that Jesus built (Matthew 16:18), don’t answer “His call,” sooner or later, we won't be a nation at all, but “sieged remnants” of disobedient in a foreign land, due to our immoral thoughts, and against: God, and our and our brothers and sisters in Christ. 

 But if we repent, and do justice, as He did with Israel, “He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and He wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea” - Micah 7:19  

Have Thine Own Way Lord 

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Thou art the potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me after thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.  

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Search me and try me, Savior today! Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now,  as in thy presence humbly I bow.  

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Wounded and weary, help me I pray! Power, all power, surely is thine! Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
