THE NEED FOR GOD

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
