Our “This Sunday” series will be another a Corona Virus edition. For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for Rioters to Be Saved in Christ.
I thought about what Paul said about himself in 1 Timothy 1:15=
It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.“
Paul himself said he was among those who are the foremost of sinners. His past include involved with mob who have persecuted Christians. He’s had hate in his heart for others.
Yet God saved Him.
Tonight I think its day 100 of unrest in some of America’s streets. I think many people are probably tired of seeing the mob causing destruction and even physical harm. Even those who believe in the cause have had their property destroyed.
For many people at this time I sense ordinary Americans are feeling helpless.
Believers, what is our response that is different than that of the world? We should still be God centered.
I think one of the Gospel centered response is to pray for Rioters to Be Saved in Christ.
I am praying. I hope that one day when we go to heaven we see some of these rioters that God brought out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light. This is a struggle not just only for justice but for people’s souls. Believers, be a social mercy warrior today and pray!
[…] Pray for Rioters to Be Saved in Christ […]
Amen brother 🙏
And Amen! I also think prayer helps one control one’s anger too, for those upset at the evil they see done. America probably sounds crazy to you…I heard many police in the UK don’t even carry guns right? That’s unimaginable here…
Correct, UK police do not carry firearms. They depend on their training and a baton. Some do carry stun guns but firearms units are a few minutes away usually.

Will be praying
Thank you for your prayers. How was your Lord’s Day?
We celebrated Father’s Day in Australia yesterday . The church service was powerful, followed by a lunch with my family . Was a blessing to play with two of my grandchildren. They live the furthest away from me. A boy 7 and a girl 5. My oldest grandson (almost 17) was also there. God’s Providence is a mystery .
I trust your Lord’s Day is going well.
Thank you for this call of prayer, Jim! Praying for them and peace in the US.
Thank you so much for your prayers for the US this means a lot to me. What a weird year it has been!
Weird times are opportune times to reflect on GOD, hanging on to His promises, and draw closer to Him in faith and prayer.
Thanks for this exhortation, brother! In times of social crisis, we get caught up in the temporal circumstances and forget about the spiritual.
Indeed I easily forget too but this week I tried hard to be more spiritual and Gospel focus about these matter. Praying for you all and your safety too. Not going out much I presume?
Thanks, brother. My wife wants to go for a ride somewhere, maybe to one of the Finger Lakes which are 30 minutes south of us and we wouldn’t need to travel through ROC. We’ll see. Hope you have a good Lord’s Day!
This is so important. Thanks for the wonderful reminder. Blessings on this stunning day in paradise. God is in a good mood.
Don’t they have to stop rioting, if they’re to be saved?
It really is their only hope…and ours too to see the end of this madness.

Remember that our light is shining even brighter in these dark times. I will pray for this and courage to keep speaking the truth in love. I will pray God builds up strong Christians to guide the sheep and not be discouraged. Keep your eyes on JESUS. It is easy to get distracted and consumed by all that is in the media. Sharpen your Sword, it can break through STRONGHOLDS. Remember…”our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12) Pray God sends his warrior angles to fight the battle for us and build a wall of protection around your family members and this administration. In Jesus name.
Great reminder!
Thanks! Have a blessed rest of the Lord’s Day!
Same to you! GREAT message!! It’s provided some great discussion for us!!!
Reblogged this on a simple man of God.
So agree with you in prayer! I too have begun to pray for the rioters!
Wow praise God, glad that you are doing so too! Thanks for reading our blog, post, appreciate you reading and commenting! How did you find this blog?
It had been re-blogged and I found it that way!
Joining you in praying for the rioters, brother!
Amen!! 🙏🙏🙏
Early this AM, while driving back from getting some Black Rifle Coffee, I heard testimony of a guy who heeded the call of the Lord while he was in the midst of serving a stint in prison.
Wow praise God for that guy turning around and getting saved! I never heard Black Rifle Coffee, are they available in stores or only subscription based or do you live near their HQ? How is the coffee?
The company is veteran-owned and very much pro-America. And here they opened up a location within a stones’ throw from a long-standing Starbucks. Ha! I’ve long-refused to do biz with Starbucks, but I’ll happily support and endorse BRC. I predict they’ll put a sizable dent in this Starbucks’ biz.
Check out their website:

I have been praying for the salvation of terrorists daily since 2005 (long story). It hadn’t occurred to me until just now that I should include these domestic terrorists, as well. (Duh.)
Wow I remember you blogged about that before, of how you pray for terrorists! It was in one of your posts a few years back you mentioned it. God bless you for doing that. By the way an you check your spam filter for my comments under “spam” since WordPress is acting up and for some reason some blogs my comment is not getting through…
Thanks!
BTW, I recently listened to an audiobook about one of those would-be suicide bombers I was praying for, how my (detailed) prayer was answered ( in detail)! It’s called “Defying Jihad,” by Esther Ahmad. I’m looking forward to meeting her someday. (In this life or the next. 😉)
Thank you for this reminder. We all need to step back and align our hearts with God especially in these sensitive times. We can not let the devil win. Hate and fear are not from God.
Beth
Prayer works! ✝️
Amen Dawn! I agree 100%! Sister I just left a comment on one of your post about 10 minutes ago and I don’t know why it seems my comments have been caught up by spam filters on WordPress this weekend…will you be able to check if my comments are in your spam box?
Yes I will check it out! Thanks for letting me know. 😊
I am praying for our urban areas to seek the peace of Jesus with less violence and strife. As Dawn says, “Pray works!”
Great post! Praise the Lord 🙌🙏🏻❤️
Amen! I pray for their salvation and deliverance.
