>First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2.1-4 NET.
So true. I think I have been so focused on end times prophecy and it all ending, that I have pulled back a little too much from the here and now especially where the world, my nation, and politics are concerned. On the other hand my focus on end times has made me more aware that I need to be witnessing and discipling and bringing people to Jesus because the time is short.
