Psalm 14:1-2 (NLT)

 FROM TODAY’S READING (10/22/2020)...

“If anyone believes that our smiles involve abandonment of the teaching of Marx, Engels, and Lenin, he deceives himself. Those who wait for that must wait until a shrimp learns to whistle.”

Nikita Khrushchev (September 17, 1955 speech in Moscow)


Psalms‬ ‭14:1-2‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) “Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.


Psalms‬ ‭10:4, 11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead...The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us! He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!”

‭‭

1 Timothy‬ ‭2:1-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.
