These are some of the questions I have been asked about this week.
  • Washington DC Bill 23-171 children as young as 11 consent without parental knowledge to include participation of the insurance company.
  • Childs public school in northern CO, her child has attended 9 days in person and only then to discover artwork all over the school about BLM, my body my choice etc.
  • Mask mandate laws, governor executive orders.
  • Stay at home orders except for things that fuel the economy.
  • State license holders are manipulated in fear of losing licensing for not complying with executive orders which have not been through legislation.
  • Presidential election and other election integrity concerns.
  • Tony Perkins – Family Research Council of 9,000 professed pastors, 44 percent supported Biden, 56 percent supported Trump.
  • I don’t think I make an impact.
 
Here’s what you can do:
·         PrayDaniel 9:18 “We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.”Psalm 34:15 “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry.”James 5:16 “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”1 Timothy 2:1-2 “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

·         Get Involved – Paul wrote Romans, and Luke wrote Acts. They were in unison not in opposition so hear the rebuttal to Romans 13.  

Acts 5:12-34 12 The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. 14 Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women. 15 As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16 Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evil[a] spirits, and they were all healed.
The Apostles Meet Opposition17 The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them, 20 “Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!”
21 So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching.
When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council[b]—the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial. 22 But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported, 23 “The jail was securely locked, with the guards standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!”
24 When the captain of the Temple guard and the leading priests heard this, they were perplexed, wondering where it would all end. 25 Then someone arrived with startling news: “The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple, teaching the people!”
26 The captain went with his Temple guards and arrested the apostles, but without violence, for they were afraid the people would stone them. 27 Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them. 28 “We gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man’s name!” he said. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!”
29 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed him by hanging him on a cross.[c] 31 Then God put him in the place of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior. He did this so the people of Israel would repent of their sins and be forgiven. 32 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, the high council was furious and decided to kill them. 34 But one member, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, who was an expert in religious law and respected by all the people, stood up and ordered that the men be sent outside the council chamber for a while.

  • Gather like-minded people
Ensure you are meeting with other believers, from prayer to fellowship and the necessity of getting together.Hebrews 5:11 - Forsake not the gathering1 Thessalonians 5:11- Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 
  • Seek answers
Proverbs 10:21 21 The words of the godly encourage many,
    but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense. – Don’t look for an excuse to do nothing. That has happened for far too long. Who am I was asked by David? He went from nothing to being the king of a nation.
·         Trust GodPsalm 146:3-5 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
