Pray for Truth to be Victorious!
Read: Hosea 7
Ephraim is a cake unturned. . . . But they do not return to the Lord their God. —Hosea 7:8,10
Bible In One Year: Psalms 119:1-88; 1 Corinthians 7:20-40
The prophet Hosea used the tribe of Ephraim as a poetic representation of the northern kingdom of Israel. In a colorful admonition, he wrote that Ephraim had become "a cake unturned" (Hosea 7:8).
In today's terminology, the prophet might have said that Ephraim was "half-baked." The people were like a pancake burned on one side but raw on the other. Although they took advantage of the Lord's goodness, they did not seek Him with their heart. When they needed help, they turned to other sources (vv.10-11,14-16). They had become tasteless and useless to God, so He was forced to judge them.
Jesus echoed the words of the prophet. Although He had gentle words for penitent sinners, He gave a scathing rebuke to the haughty and self-righteous who wanted to live as they pleased. He was furious at two-faced religious leaders who talked a good talk but turned around and exploited their followers (Matthew 23:13-30).
God is never soft on sin. He sent His only Son to redeem us from sin's penalty (John 3:16). Let's not be half-baked Christians, claiming God's forgiveness but still living as we please. The only fitting response to God's mercy and grace is to serve Him in humility and love. —Haddon Robinson
Answering a call for Daily Prayer for Truth!
With the election coming at us soon and my work schedule being changed for a couple months it will be hard for me to post coffee in all the threads.
This will be a great place to have coffee, read the Word, and say a Prayer for Truth.

If this thread will be ok to do daily I will make a ping list today/tonight when I get home..
Prayers for the Swiftees. May the truth be victorious!
Wow, I guess this is the right way to start this Thread.. There is a message for someone everyday!
Amen Jim!
If we don't have Truth, we have lost everything!
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. -- John 8:32

Praying for the Swift Boat Veterans and the truth.
Prayers going up. And morning to you, Mayor.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.
Amen.
Joining you in prayers for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
I think this is an excellent idea, please add me to the ping list. Hope everything goes well with your new schedule.
Father Lord give these brave men strength and endurance and all the right words that are needed to accomplish this mission. In the name of Jesus, amen.
Father please be with the men who are willing to stand up and speak the truth, revisiting deep and painful wounds. Give them strength and courage to continue bringing to light events as they actually happened. Please keep them safe and let them know many people are behind them and appreciate so much their continued honor and valor in service to America. Amen.
From the Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus 4:28:
"Fight to the death for truth, and the Lord God will fight on your side."

Thanks for posting this. I was about to ask my wife, a lay reader in our church and our family bible scholar where this quote came from.
"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. -- John 8:32"
There is one way for the truth to get out. The Swift Vets need donations to buy more time for their tv ads. We must support them like we support Free Republic with some of our treasure loaned to us by God. The link below can be used for the first or repea donations for the Truth.
