A few years ago, there was a move to bring gambling to Gettysburg. As news spread, the church began to mobilize in an effort politically to thwart these purposes. At the same time, many local pastors formed prayer groups. I was a part of convening a meeting to pray that gambling would not ...

Daniel prayed a prayer for his nation that I believe is apropos for us as we face the upcoming election. I would encourage us to consider this a prayer for the church and our nation:
