Are you MAD?

I hope you are!

Thursday evenings in January I had the privilege of participating in Nightwatch prayer. Joining Christians from the Midwest and Southwest via conference call, a group of people united to intercede for our nation from midnight - 6:00 a.m. EST.

One of the nights I was on the prayer line, I realized I was feeling angry . . . angry at the way I and others have been robbed by spiritual deception and oppression. Angry that so many abortions have taken place in our land. Angry that truth is mocked and rebellion uplifted as the "American way."

As I thought about these things, the word mad came to mind, and with it an acronym: Making A Difference.

It's ok to get mad, as long as we use that "MADness" to Make A Difference, and we can:

* through prayer
* through our lifestyle choices
(personal consecration to purity that draws us close to God and
witnesses to others)
* through involvement in our churches, schools and communities, etc.

So, if you're mad, like me, I hope you'll choose to make a difference in your circle of influence. And we can all make a difference through prayer.
