we turn our backs on those who would follow God and arm those who murder
them. Pray God will raise up a leader
from among the people who can turn the country’s course 180° and attempt to come back to God. Pray the people will recognize that they are
headed down a smooth wide road into the pit, a road that will get smoother and
smoother, steeper and steeper until the only possible way is down. Down, into the depths of the pit. Pray people will recognize there is:
·
One True and Triune God who is goodness in and
of Himself
·
All religions are not equal
·
All ways of life are not equal;
·
The Bible holds the Key to Life;
·
All rights come from God, not the State;
·
Good;
·
Bad;
·
Evil;
·
Right;
·
Wrong;
·
Allah is the Devil;
·
Abortion is no more than sacrifice of children
to Baal.
Pray this
recognition will not come too late. Pray
we will, each of us, do our duty to God, Country and Family, putting His Honor
above all.
Persecuted
The Islamist
group (ISIS) took over Quaragosh, the biggest Christian city in Iraq; 164 men,
women and children were beheaded. People
ask where is God? The real question is
where are the people to enforce God’s will?
Pray the people of the world will see Allah for who he is, the
Devil. Pray for those who remain behind
that they might find a way to safety.
Around the world,
Christians are under attack, not only in the Muslim world, but from Hindus and
others in India. Also, they are under
continual attack in the name of Separation of Church and State in the western
world, as it becomes actively atheist or pro-devil buddy. Please pray for God’s guidance and protection
for all persecuted Christians and those around them.
Education
Aaron is in need of God’s
guidance to see what he needs to do to fulfill his potential and live his life
in a manner which will bring true happiness to him.
Thomas Dabney is
attending Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, to finish his
Bachelor’s Degree. Please pray for
Thomas to focus on education and do his very best at school.

friend of Bill Scrivner) had a stroke the morning of 14 January 2017, he has
now been discharge to home with physical therapy and recovering well. Please join him, his family and friends in

Witherspoon’s mom and Doug Witherspoon’s mother in law) had a kidney
transplant; the surgery was a success and the kidney is working, please give
thanks for that. She has continued healing and not rejected the transplant,
please give thanks for that also.
Everyone continues to pray and hope for the kidney to stay accepted,
please pray for that also.
What is Quinquagesima?
Quinquagesima,
or, in full, Quinquagesima Sunday, is the name for the Sunday next before Ash
Wednesday in the Catholic (Universal or Whole) Church Calendar.
The name
Quinquagesima originates from Latin quinquagesimus (fiftieth), referring to the
fifty days before Easter Sunday using inclusive counting, which counts both
Sundays (normal counting would count only one of these).
Since the
forty days of the Lenten fast included only weekdays, the first day of Lent,
Ash Wednesday, succeeds Quinquagesima Sunday by only three days. The earliest
Quinquagesima Sunday can occur is February 1 and the latest is March 7. The
Roman Church no longer observes much of the Christian Year, including
Quinquagesima and the two immediately before it — Sexagesima and Septuagesima
Sundays.
The
contemporary service books of many claiming to be Anglican provinces do not use
the term but it remains in the Book of Common Prayer.
The 17-day
period beginning on Septuagesima Sunday spanning Sexuagesima and Quinquagesima
Sundays was intended to be observed as a preparation for the season of Lent,
which is itself a period of spiritual preparation for Easter. In many
countries, however, Septuagesima Sunday marks the start of the carnival season,
culminating on Shrove Tuesday, more commonly known as Mardi Gras or Fat
Tuesday.
