Governing the nation and our own personal life.

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."

George Washington



I friend reminded me of this quote recently by our first President. Does this sound like a man who wanted God and His Word, the Bible, taken out of our nation? It sure doesn't to me. Matter of fact it is plainly stated that our nation can not be run correctly without God and His Word. Have you taken a look around recently? Who is our nation being governed by? It is certainly not God. Pray for our nation and our leaders that their will be a turning back to God, the future of our nation depends on it!



What about our individual lives? Are we allowing our lives to be run by God or are we in the drivers seat? What George Washington said about about nation is also true for our lives. If we are not allowing God to make our decisions and if we are not running our lives by the Bible then we are headed down hill quickly. God is clear in His Word that he desires our worship and total dedication. Not 50/50 our any other percentage...he wants all of us and every area of our life.



So ask yourself....who is in charge God or me?



1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
