The most patriotic thing you can do this month is have a broken heart for the 330 million people who need a Savior.
Notes:
Psalm 127:1 (NKJV)
Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Luke 19:40 (NKJV)
But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”
A nation where the gospel can be freely preached is worth fighting for.
Jesus came to deal with sin.
He came to bring spiritual restoration.
He came to rule as an Eternal King.
The Terms of Peace
Luke 19:41–44
Matthew 23:37–38 (NKJV)
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate.”
Luke 19:42 (NKJV)
“If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”
“Jesus knew that their desire for a political Messiah would bring total destruction in less than a generation.” —David Guzik
The most patriotic thing you can do today is to have a broken heart for the 330 million people who need a Savior.
Read Luke 19:45-48
Cleansing the Temple
Luke 19:45–48
The revolution Jesus came to start was never going to begin in the halls of government. It has always started with His people.
“To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian.” —George Washington
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Are we desperate enough?
America is not an accident, and her best days will not be determined in Washington; it will be by all of us.
Psalm 139:23–24 (NKJV)
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my thoughts;
And see if [there is any] wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
