xI heard a wonderful sermon that brought out the denial and betrayal by Peter and Judas when our Lord was being persecuted and later crucified. This brought to mind that we as Christians need to stand up an be counted as a “nation under God” and, as the body of Christ, get prayer back into the schools and where needed to change the nation.

When I was growing up, we did not have the problems we have today. We all worked. My father was persecuted for being a Christian and had to come to this nation in order to worship and to study God’s word. He would say how blessed we are as a nation. The government cannot supply our needs. God can bless us as we turn to him and live as he said we would in his word, the holy Bible.
