Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8  As we approach Valentine’s Day on February 14th, it’s difficult to enter a store without walking past aisles of cards, candies, balloons, and stuffed animals – all professing the same thing, love, or at least a form of it. Songs from every era tell us things like ‘love is all you... Read more >>

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 3:34-35 Love is often underestimated; wrongly defined by what we have in mind, what we have experienced in supposed earthly love. Love is not merely an emotion, but it should set us in motion. Not fueled by earthly desires but eternal destinies that are at stake. LOVE, real love, is designed and defined by God alone. Love... Read more >>

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Romans 8:2 NASB Next week, on February 1st, as a nation, we will observe National Freedom Day, which was established in January of 1949 by Congress and then President, Harry Truman. The law reads: The President may issue each year a proclamation designating February 1 as National Freedom Day to commemorate the signing by Abraham Lincoln on February 1, 1865, of the joint resolution adopted by the Senate and the House of Representatives that proposed the 13th...

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 From the beginning of our nation, our founders prayed, sought and fought for a culture that embodied, embraced, and encouraged LIFE. In our Declaration of Independence, we all agree as citizens of the United States, that “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  These founding sentiments were focused on the LIFE that can only be ‘endowed by their Creator,’...

Our country observes MLK Day each year to honor the Civil Rights leader Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King. This year, ministry friends at Civil Righteousness are issuing a call to prayer on MLK Day as a way to honor and continue Dr. King’s Spirit-led ministry. Individuals, groups, and churches around the country are invited to host their own Pray on MLK event where people will pause and ponder at places of pain in their city, pray for the Lord’s restoration and press into hard conversations with people outside their normal circle. The Lord planted this idea in Jonathan Tremaine Thomas’s... Read more >>

The end of this year is here! We have put together our annual Impact Report to share and celebrate what the Lord has accomplished as well as introduce how the Lord is directing us for 2021. Please take a few minutes to read through it or download a copy to look through later – we trust that you will be encouraged! As I look back on 2020 I must express great gratefulness to our Lord even in the midst of grieving and great challenges because every trial gave the National Day of Prayer Task Force (NDPTF) the opportunity to mobilize...

LUKE 2 A Savior, Who is Christ the Lord Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all the people were on their way to register for the census, each to his own city.4 Now Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was betrothed to him, and was pregnant. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to...

On that evening, as shepherds sat watch in their fields, keeping an eye and ear on their flocks, they received the most glorious message. Their eyes and ears could hardly comprehend what was happening. The sight and sound of the angels as the message that the Savior, the Messiah, the Lord had come! Imagine the joy and awe that must have filled them from head to toe as they received this, “Good News” and quickly responding to the invitation to go and see their Lord. Emmanuel! The LORD came down to dwell with His creation. Luke 2:8-11 And there were... Read more >>

Greetings! As we step into December, we pray that there is a fresh filling of adoration in your heart; praise for the King of Kings, as we prepare to celebrate His birth. His unchanging attributes not only allow us to praise Him in all circumstances but strengthen our faith and love for Him as we speak and sing His praise. Psalm 95:1-7a "O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD... Read more >>
