REPENT

In 1990, 86% of people asked claimed to be Christian. In 2001, 77% made the same claim. 40% of those did not attend any type of church service. According to Christianity Today, in a 2006 article, only 17.7% of the population attends a church service.


17 There is hope for your future,” says the LORD.

“Your children will come again to their own land.

18 I have heard Israel saying,

‘You disciplined me severely,

like a calf that needs training for the yoke.

Turn me again to you and restore me,

for you alone are the LORD my God.

19 I turned away from God,

but then I was sorry.

I kicked myself for my stupidity!

I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’

Jeremiah 31:17 - 19 (NLT)

Pray for this country, starting with you and your town, to listen to God, to heed His call to return to Him as the One True God. This is the same message that John the Baptist preached,


“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” Matthew 3:2 (NLT)

Jesus is patiently waiting…

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD
