VERSE OF THE WEEK
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. – Ephesians 2:8-9
Belief
A recent poll released by the Pew Research Center found that 68 percent of Americans say belief in God is not required “in order to be moral and have good values.” The majority of those respondents do not consider religion important in their lives. However, the Reverend Canon J. John of Great Britain said people who dismiss a need for God are deceiving themselves. “Certainly, a person can be moral and have good character who does not have God in his life; but if he thinks those traits and the good things he does will give him eternal benefit, he is deceived. Moreover, he bears a spirit of disobedience, mocking God by ignoring the still, small voice within him that he is wrong.” Pray this week for hearts and minds in this nation to be awakened and drawn to the saving grace of the Lord Almighty.
