Make America Godly Again, Part 2 (Praying Through the Bible #363) - Sermon Videos

TEXT: 1 Timothy 2:1-8

Christians in America today are rightly concerned about the direction of our nation. This is not strange. Believers of all ages have had to wrestle with societies that seem to be moving further and further away from God. The worst of those societies, such as that of Medieval Europe, moved into paganism, idolatry, and permissive sin under the supposed auspices of "the Church." However, the Christians of yesteryear knew something that Christians in America today seem to have forgotten: godliness in public society can only be regained by inner spiritual transformation, not outward social reform. As we sit in the first quarter of what will be yet another long and rancorous national election season, Christians of both political persuasions are already gearing up to throw their time, money, and labor into work that they believe will bring godliness and Christian influence back to public policy and public life in America. However, if we are to make America godly again, we must operate by a different playbook -- a playbook that is given to us in this passage from First Timothy -- not the playbook of politics, but the playbook of prayer.
