How to become a God Influencer through Prayer - Part 1 (2 of 16)
Series: The God Issue

Colossians 1:9-14
We are again in the book of Colossians today as we continue our series of messages under the heading: THE GOD ISSUE. What the church at Colosse came to understand is what we need to come to understand: that the issue of our time is God and I can prove it. A person's behavior is a reflection of their belief in God.

And if they do not believe it, they will not act like it.
The issue facing our country today is not the debt, it's not unemployment nor is it same-sex marriage. The greatest issue of today is the God issue.
A person's view of God determines how they treat others. A person's view of God determines how they live their lives. God is the issue! And in my estimation .. if America is going to change her current course and avoid God's judgment, we have to start by helping others discover the Bible and the God of the Bible.
I don't know what more motivation is needed than the future of our nation to ...
