Securing the Future

by Sarah Stegall | Jun 11, 2010 | Bible Study

The halls of Congress are witnessing an unprecedented battle for America’s moral future. Activist groups succeed when Christians remain apathetic and unwilling to take a stand.

READ: Josh. 1:6-9; Ps. 40:6-10; Ezek. 33:6-9; Matt. 5:13-16; Matt. 10:32-39; James 2:14-26.

HEART ISSUE: God has called us to be “salt and light” influencing those around us. How are you using your influence?

PRAYER FOCUS: Father, forgive the apathy and fear we have demonstrated in the past. Stir up our zeal for Your righteousness and guide our steps (see Ps. 37:23). Amen.
