Dr. Malachi - (Dr. Run)
RT @BasedPastorTrav: 🇺🇸🇺🇸 THIS IS WHAT WE NEED
I stood with my friends Senator-elect Barry Moore @BMooreSenate and his wife Heather and prayed over them before a packed room and the American flag on election night. These are praying people. Godly people to the core. I am proud of them and their commitment to Jesus and to our nation.
America and Alabama will be blessed to have their voice in the Senate. They already served our country and our state with distinction in the U.S. House. Heather is a praying woman. Barry is a hard working godly man with wisdom, conviction, and real resilience. My dad called that stick-to-it-iveness. It is a rare ingredient. Barry has modeled it.
To build anything that lasts, whether a family, a community, or a business, you need that grit. One father or one mother who loves Jesus and refuses to quit can change a family for generations. When others walk away, they stay. When hopes are dashed, they keep hope alive. That kind of faith shows up most clearly when your kids are far from God and you stay on your knees, holding onto the promises of the One who formed them.
I do not want to over sensationalize anything. I simply want to honor my friend and encourage you. I am thankful for every Christian who works hard to advance the kingdom of God, who prays for others, and who invests in their family, their church, their community, and the gospel, in the mundane and in the spectacular. And I want to encourage those who still believe America is a nation worth fighting for.
I have been all over the world. There is no place like America. She is not perfect, but she is beautiful. I have watched the church prosper in war torn nations under real persecution. The gates of hell do not prevail. That does not mean the church escapes suffering. Persecution can scatter believers, and the gospel often spreads farther because of it. But after walking with people who have lived through the worst of it, I would not wish that on anyone.
We need God in America. God does not need America. America most certainly needs God.
Thank you to every American Christian who seeks God and works for the good of our cities and our country. And many thanks to Senator elect Barry and Heather Moore for working so hard for our nation and for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
As for me, I am doubly committed to advancing the gospel in my community, my state, and my nation. I am not ashamed of the gospel. I am not ashamed of being pro life. I am not ashamed of standing for the sanctity of the family. I am not ashamed of protecting our children. I am not ashamed of standing for freedom. We can preach the gospel, and we can also work to remain free to preach the gospel in the greatest nation on earth.
I pray your hearts are encouraged and that God works deeply in you so you walk in the abundant life Christ promised to those who follow Him.
