Does America Have a Prayer?  ~ New! (pdf)

Although written several years ago and published in a variety of places, this article is more timely than ever in view of the upcoming Presidential election.

 

How do we pray for our country? Do we assume we are a Christian nation? It's important to understand certain elements such as our country's long history of anti-Christian movements and influences, the "Four M's" of a common faith of the state or what has been called "civil religion"; the effects of other religions; and how to pray with God's perspective.

A Turning Point. “The faithful intercession of the saints has a direct relationship to whether the forces of darkness or the forces of righteousness prevail at a given time.”

Quenching the Spirit's Fire—The Second Gnostic Assault by Richard Nathan, M.A., Church History. The re-emergence of an ancient heresy in modern form: the focus on self through psychology. How spiritual and philosophical ideas can quench true revival and destroy the soul.
