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 Robert P.
