The [Samaritan] woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
Then Jesus told her, “I Am the Messiah!”
….The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” So the people came streaming from the village to see him. John 4.25-29 NLT
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13
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.

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.
