Challenge
Speak out: Churches would voice their concerns and uphold our values regarding the direction of our country.
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
Matthew 5:13-16
“I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can under- stand the confident hope he has given to those he called— his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.“
Ephesians 1:18
