Pray for America

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. —1 Timothy 2:1-2

What is America’s greatest threat? America’s greatest threat is not from North Korea, Iran, Pakistan or China.

What is America’s greatest problem? It is not bigger government, spineless politicians, atheism, terrorism, or rising debt.

I recently read an article by a well-known evangelist titled, “Who Is Our Country’s Greatest Enemy.”  He asserted America’s greatest enemy are the liberals.

I believe that America’s greatest problem lies at the doorstep of it’s churches.  Most professing Christians are not obeying 1 Timothy 2:1-2 that commands us to make prayer for our nation’s leaders a priority. But, instead of praying for them we find it easier to point the finger at liberal politicians as America’s greatest enemy.

My concern is that Christians are waiting for America to get right first and then things will get better!  For example, if we could just elect enough godly people to government, get rid of abortion, end gay marriages, stop the drug traffic — then everything will be better!

Instead of the church waiting for America to get right, God is waiting on lukewarm Christians within the church to get right!
