A Call to Prayer
I would like to call upon our congregation to join in a season of prayer for our nation between now and our next election on November 5th. In our Republic, we have a biblical mandate and a constitutional obligation to vote in order to express our consent or disagreement with our elected representatives. With this in mind, November 5th will prove to be a defining moment in the history of our country.
Uppermost in many of our minds is our understandable concern about election fraud, especially since we no longer depend primarily upon paper ballots. Electronic manipulation through hackers with evil intentions is always a distinct possibility in spite of false, deceptive assurances from many of our elected officials and agency heads, and there are several other avenues through which fraudulent behavior is distinctively possible as well. It is for this reason that I am especially asking that we join our hearts together in intercessory prayer, asking for God’s will and protection that righteousness will prevail. I also ask that we petition the Lord to grant us courage and wisdom to fight the forces of evil and corruption which are tearing at the framework of the eternal principles upon which this country was founded.
Finally, if you and your family/friends need to register to vote, by all means, please do so!
Devotedly your pastor,
Bill Blanchard
