“Nothing is more dreaded than the national government meddling with religion.” These were the words of President John Adams in 1812 and they express a truth that translates well into this generation in our nation. We are all concerned about the protection of religious liberty…or at least we should be.

Adams, who knew something about the cost of fighting for independence, gave this advice: “Let the pulpit resound with the doctrine and sentiments of religious liberty.” This is not a political issue. It is a spiritual one, built upon the Biblical principle of soul liberty. Paul instructed Timothy to pray “for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2:2). He goes on in verse 4 to connect this prayer to the advancement of the gospel and the salvation of souls. The decisions of government leaders have implications for both time and eternity.

Religious liberty must be a point of emphasis in our training of the next generation and a specific prayer as we pray for our nation. On Tuesday, April 21 a special Zoom call is being conducted on this very subject. “Faith Wins” Founder Chad Connelly and Dr. Paul Chappell are hosting the call with Presidential adviser and former White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus, at 4:30 ET.

Along with Ralph Sexton and Byron Foxx, I have the privilege of leading one of the times of prayer on the call and believe the few minutes we have together will be very informative regarding issues vital to our ministries. Will you join us on the call?

Space is limited and you will need to register. Please click the link below to sign up now: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/5615868767445/WN_Er4YmvBAS5i9MgzmK5iXYA

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
