PRESIDENTIAL QUOTE:"A
merica was founded by people who believed that God was their rock of
safety. I recognize we must be cautious in claiming that God is on our
side, but I think it's all right to keep asking if we're on His side."
--Ronald Reagan
INSPIRATIONAL REFERENCE OF THE WEEK:
"L
ove must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
--The New Testament, Romans 12:9-12 (NIV)
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR THE WEEK:
"I
sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious
harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields
and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her
vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the
churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I
understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because
she is good and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to
be great."
--Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805-1859
PRAYER QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"A
godly man is a praying man. As soon as grace is poured in, prayer is poured out. Prayer is the soul's traffic with Heaven; God comes down to us by His Spirit, and we go up to Him by prayer."
--T. Watson
