For the Love of Us All

THE NEED FOR GOD

Contrary to the public opinion

In today’s world

There is a NEED FOR GOD

In our lives

In fact more today

Than ever before

More in our lives globally

More in our lives nationally

And more in our lives

Both in our families

And in our lives individually

Take a look around

Are you seeing

The same world that I am seeing

We have war in our streets

We have murder

We have rape

We have incest

And we have child abuse

Our families are NOT safe

Our children are NOT safe

And it is NOT safe to be on the streets

Of any major city in this country

And we have

MORE of a need for God

In our lives than ever before

“Do not be like them ( the pagans )

For your Father

Knows what you need

Before you ask him”                                                                           Matthew 6:8

We have war among governments

We are having complete financial breakdowns

In many European countries

And yet the prevailing opinion is

For less God

In today’s world

The last time that I checked

It was not God

Who was responsible

For many of these things

It was us-but of course-WE KNOW BETTER

MORE GOD-not less

“Share with God’s people

Who are in need

Practice hospitality”                                                                             Romans 12:13

MORE GOD-not less

Love God with your whole heart

Love your neighbor as yourself

Forgive 70x7

It doesn’t sound to me

Like God’s teachings

Lead to murder in the streets,

Rape, incest, or child abuse

It’s the me first-you last-or you never attitude

That exists in our world today

Selfishness

That is what gets us into trouble

Families breaking down-losing friendships

Over health, money, sex, and death

“He who despises his neighbor sins

But BLESSED is he

Who is kind to the needy”                                                                 Proverbs 20:21

MORE GOD-not less

Leave the NAME OF GOD on money

Leave PUBLIC PRAYER in schools

Let us all

PRAY to the ONE true God

Whose name is LOVE

“So when you give to the needy

Do NOT announce it with trumpets

As the hypocrites do

In the synagogues

And on the streets

To be honored by man

I tell you the truth

They have received their reward in full”                                                   Matthew 6:2

More we-LESS I
MORE GOD-less me

We pray WITH GREAT NEED

To God

To my/our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ

To help us

To HELP THIS WORLD

IN OUR TIME OF NEED

“The Lord

Will guide you always

He will satisfy your needs

In a sun-scorched land

And will strengthen your frame

You will be

Like a well-watered garden

Like a spring

Whose waters NEVER FAIL”                                                         Isaiah 58:11

We pray for help

To the one true God

WHOSE NAME IS LOVE

THE NEED FOR GOD

In our lives and in our world

Is greater than ever before
