"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know
how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their
governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of
living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God
wants us to live.
He wants not
only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth
we’ve learned: that there’s one God and only one, and one
Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered himself in
exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free.
Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my
appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God,
and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth." [1 Timothy 2:1-7 MSG]
