Forty Days of Prayer for Our Country- Day 27
Scripture:
I have given them your message. But the world has hated them because they don’t belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I’m not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one. They don’t belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. “Use the truth to make them holy. Your words are truth. I have sent them into the world the same way you sent me into the world. John 17:14-18 (GWT)
Thought for the day:
Here are some more states and moral issues on ballots before them:
Here are some more states and moral issues on ballots before them:
The definition of marriage is on the ballot in four states—Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington State. Measures in Washington and Maryland attempt to repeal same-sex marriage statutes passed by the legislature. In Maine, voters will be asked to allow same-sex marriage, while in Minnesota a measure would amend the state constitution to only permit one-man, one-woman marriage. To date, all 32 times the question of defining marriage has been on a state ballot, voters have affirmed it as the union of one man and one woman.
Colorado voters will decide whether to legalize marijuana as a "recreational" drug, allowing adults to possess an ounce or less of it without penalty. Centennial State voters rejected a similar measure in 2006. Opponents say the ballot question is the latest push to legalize marijuana across the nation.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, you have called us to be salt and to be light to this world. You have given us great freedom, help us not to use our freedom to enter into spiritual bondage. Helpus to live in this world as light. Lead us to be in the world but not of it. In Jesus' name, Amen.
