We Are The People

Nehemiah 13:27-28 “²⁷ Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?  ²⁸ And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.”

Nehemiah was so committed to a sanctified marriage standard that he didn’t even want to be around people like one of the sons of Joiada in verse 28 who marries a heathen.

Pray that Christians have convictions about marriage that will compel them to not want in any way to put their approval upon relationships that are not founded upon God’s Holy Word.  Christian marriage is the very fabric that will keep our nation together as a people.

Special Prayer Focus:  Please pray for families of loved ones lost on the recent airline crashes and the one shot down in Ukraine. Pray that the situations be handled wisely by the world community, especially by our country.  Pray that truth be revealed concerning who was responsible.

Also pray for the crisis in Israel concerning Gaza and Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.  Pray for the protection of innocent lives and that the world community will see the situation through the eyes of truth.  Finally, pray that the United States continue to support our strongest ally in that area of the world, Israel, for in doing so we will be blessed.  Genesis 12:3
