“It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their own
independence upon the overruling power of God ... and to
recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and
proved by all history, that those nations only are blest whose
God is the Lord.” Abraham Lincoln
TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT 
VERSE:
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the
gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear
about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one
spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without
being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign
to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be
saved--and that by God. ~ Philippians 1:27-28
THOUGHT:
Let's live as if we've been redeemed! Let's show our love and
character in our daily lives. Let's especially work together, with
one voice and spirit, making a vigorous effort to share the Gospel
with those who have never heard of the grace of God in the ministry
of Jesus. In the face of opposition, let's not be deterred or
divided. Instead, let's work hand-in-hand for the cause of the
Gospel.
PRAYER:
O LORD, give us greater unity of purpose, greater love for each
other, and greater courage in the face of opposition so that we can
show the world that we are your children and Jesus' disciples. In
the name of our Lord and Christ we pray. Amen.
