Pray for solution

My heart and prayers go out for the daughter of Rob Leach (April 28). He is correct: Many liberals label the unborn as fetuses or viable tissue masses. This is an unfortunate sign of the times.

Virtually every political issue on the dockets is there because special-interest groups are working day and night to push their agendas. Whether it’s the construction of a new casino, gay marriage, or even the rules regarding wolf hunts, it comes down to a few attempting to use the government to force their particular practices and/or beliefs on the many.

I am curious as to whether or not professing Christians are kneeling day and night to avert the disaster that awaits our nation should the materialistic liberals get their way. While I am grateful for those who write letters to warn of God’s wrath, you will accomplish more by prayer and fasting.

Rather than beating them over the head, we should be hammering the gates of heaven. Focus your dialogues on the love and mercy of Christ. Everything else is moot.
