It's wonderful to see Christians speaking out. Though, let us be reminded that our stand is also to be in our community, church, work, schools, home, and with friends ... wherever evil is. We're called to be peculiar people (in world, without being like world) and we've failed.

We carry blame for America's problems. It's our heart that isn't humble, our laziness to pray, our not seeking God on every issue, our way that is wicked, and our sins that need forgiven.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land, II Ch. 7:14.

We go into a state of panic when our child is a few minutes late, as if our worry is going to get them home any faster than trusting God. Satan must get a good laugh.

We receive aggravation on every side, as Satan is alive and well on Sundays. Thinking we don’t need God’s help and no one will be wiser, we go it alone; with our painted smiles, polished attire, and frustrations neatly tucked ... then take it out on our waitress.

When our spouse is out of town; we receive comfort in a friend sleeping over, us staying at mom’s, or one of kids climbing into bed ... as if any person present can make us safer than we already are. God is our protection. Though, maybe we’d rather believe dark will get us.
