Training Room-thoughts for Aug 11th

I went and voted today in the local primary election here in Nevada, I took my 4 year old daughter Nadia with me…I explained to her the honor of voting, the responsibility of voting and the fact that many had died for us to be able to vote…and then standing in the Carson City NV community center I began to cry…I cried for my nation, I cried for my daughter, I cried because the heart of my God breaks for our country.

Unlike many of you I was not born in this nation, I was born in a foreign land… I was adopted by United States Air Force hero, Senior Master Sergeant John W. Hill, you see he purchased me for two cases of scotch on the black market in Tehran, Iran and brought me to this nation. Only God could do something like that!

This nation is the only nation is the history of the globe that is built on principles… all the other nations of the globe have been built on familial ties, religious ties, ethic or cultural ties... but our nation, our nation was built on principles and values and it has been those values that have made us a shining light to the rest of the world for much of our history.

Our nation is dying a slow death…moral decay, the absence of truth and a complete turning away from the true and living God…so what will we do? I was not brought to this nation and given the gift of freedom to stand idly by and watch as it goes to hell in a hand basket and the great thing is, I know you feel the same way!

How,you might say, will this thing get turned around? By you and I being to each other (or someone) the change we want to see in our nation…the bible says that what makes us special, we Christians, is the way “we love one and other” …that is it, that alone will cause us to stand out in the crowd…we must be of one accord, in unity and like minded…the mind of Christ…this has nothing to do with some project, this has to do with changing ourselves so that we can be used by God for His purposes and His glory…before we can do any project, change any lives, impact any nation we must be able to live out Philippians chapter 2 with and for each other and to the glory of God.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts...by the way don't forget our
