Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

Lord, there are many who face daily persecution for their faith, even in this country that was founded as a Christian nation. The President and Attorney General are leading the charge against Your Church; Your Church is under attack and not even recognizing the danger. Sleeping and content, while the devil is preparing the siege works.

We do not hold marriage in honor, we hold mammon above You, we plan and scheme to ensure that our funds are sufficient for our wants; it is no wonder that we are unable to claim Your shield over us and about us. Lord, bring awareness to Your Church.
