It's been seven days...
Seven days may seem short, but a lot can happen in one week. God created this world in six days and then had a day of rest. He has patterned history on that model.
One week ago today, Americans chose the 47th president of the United States. Donald Trump delivered a reflective and forward-looking victory speech at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday, December 6th. The President-Elect's plans for Day 1 of his return to Washington have stirred many emotions- jubilation, indifference, and horror. Despite the decisive victory, America remains a nation divided.
What will happen on Day 1 of a new Trump administration? Donal J. Trump has been planning for January 20, 2025, for four years. For all of his bluster, Trump is a doer, not a waiter. He is working hard today for an anticipated yet uncertain future day. Now, let's make a spiritual switch. Almost fifty years ago, I learned about spiritual switches from one of my disciplers. To Russell Kelfer, a spiritual switch was the spiritual application to a story or an event he would often use to make his point.
As followers of Jesus Christ, all we have is Day 1. The end of your time on earth could be today. You could die, or the Rapture could occur. If either of those were to happen today, what would become of all your plans?
Today is Day 1!
Please take three significant steps. First, step outside your home. Ask yourself, 'Do I know the names of all the people living in the ten houses closest to me?' Second, pray today and every day, asking God to open your neighbors' doors. Third, prepare yourself to step through their homes as a disciple of Jesus Christ. God placed you in your neighborhood for a reason. Introduce your neighbors to His Son, Jesus. Let's unite in prayer for this high calling. Jesus is the Light, the only beacon of hope for America!
The spiritual renewal of America will not begin on January 20, 2025, on the steps of the Capitol. It's been said that all politics are local. Barak Obama stakes his claim to fame on how he came to power as a community organizer. Observe the worldly lessons of those who sought your vote over the last four years. They organized their outreach house-by-house, neighborhood by neighborhood. Democrats and Republicans campaigned as if they had read, understood, and believed the power of community building found in Acts 2.
Listen Church! If we do not act today according to Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations, we should be ashamed. Spiritual renewal in America cannot be achieved via retribution or anger. It cannot be accomplished through force. It must be done through the personal gentle urging of our Savior.
"Come to Me, all who are weary and have laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. - Jesus
Friends, today is Day 1. Let's not underestimate the power of this moment. It's a day filled with potential and opportunities. Let's seize it and use it well. Carpe Diem!

So glad to hear good news of spreading the Gospel and bringing glory to the precious Lord Jesus our Savior. Will be praying daily like I do now so others may receive Him as their savior too. The Lord bless all of you on the front lines.
nEven so come Lord Jesus, come.
Thanks for the encouragement to stay on task. It's easy to forget.
