For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13
Day: August 29, 2012
During election time, the opposition focuses on fragmented bits of society to descend upon and exploit their sensibilities to fear. They dangle the socialistic carrot on a stick to steer seniors in fear of losing Medicare and now women fearing to lose their ‘right’ to free contraception and abortion.
Democrats want a socialist government with little actual benefits while gaining brutal taxes to fund it. But they decry foul to those that enjoy doing things on their own like planning their own families, operating their own businesses and shopping for their own health insurance. The ‘Land of the Free’ is becoming a land of Stepford-Wife-like soylent-green-eating manikins. No one has value, only pockets that hold tax money.
Demonizing and dehumanizing unborn human life is not new to the Obamanation. The current federal government is aware of its true weakness – the ‘Unborn’ vote.
Being female myself, I find it embarrassing…

Please pray for Moroccan people.
August 29 | Morocco – The church is growing in unity and action as a result of a strong basis of prayer and respect. Please pray also for a genuine love for studying the Bible deeply and for an application of the lessons in daily life. Pray for an extension of the study program inside the country.
Morocco has a population of over 32 million people, approx 22,000 are Christian. Proselytising is strictly forbidden and converts from Islam can pay a heavy price – see Open Doors link.
This Wikipedia article will give you some background on Morocco – click here – but the plight of Christians is better told here – Open Doors link.
In Morocco, Christian expats have a degree of freedom to assemble and worship. The difficulty comes with faith sharing.
“But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.” 1 Peter 3.14-16 NLT
Please pray for God to provide opportunities for Christians to explain the reason for their hope in Christ… and that Christians would have a story to tell and a lifestyle that proves it.
Today, in most countries, it’s easy enough to own a Bible. In some places, having a Bible would put your life in danger. That’s quite a price to pay just for having a Bible, but people in these countries are willing to pay that price for truth.
Many, in America, have more than one Bible. Our lives are not threatened for having possession of a Bible. Sometimes, I wonder if we would choose to own a Bible if it meant risking our lives. We have yet to be challenged with such a price. Perhaps, if we were, the Bibles in our homes would not be taken for granted.
