Has it ever been more clear that we live in two separate Americas?
We have places like California with their degenerate sex parades (you don't want to know) and a governor pushing abortion on citizens of other states. On the other hand, you have states like Tennessee where the governor just signed a bill to make July a month of prayer and fasting to beseech God's mercy upon the state.
In what has been described as an 'historic gesture,' Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed a bill calling for 30 days of prayer and fasting beginning July 1 in the Volunteer State.
Tennessee House Joint Resolution 0803 asks the people of the state 'to seek God's hand of mercy healing on Tennessee.'
Call this Christian nationalism, Christian statism, or whatever you'd like.
As a Christian, I see this as a good and necessary move by the state of Tennessee.
A letter signed by Tennessee state Senator Mark Pidy and Representative Monty Fritts accompanying the resolution invites 'those who are physically able and spiritually inclined to do so to join in a 30-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting for the month of July as a means of humbling ourselves to receive God's grace, mercy, and blessing in Tennessee and in our Nation.'
'We are respectfully inviting you to join with us in leading the people of God across Tennessee into a time of humbling ourselves, praying, seeking God's Face, and repentance during July,' explain Pidy and Fritts.
Amen to that!
We need national repentance now more than ever.
While blue states just wrapped up a month-long celebration of sin, it's heartening to see that some Tennesseans are approaching the throne with cries of mercy for our country.
Lord knows we need it!
Check out some of the language in the resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED THIRTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that the period of July 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024, be recognized as a time of prayer and fasting in Tennessee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we recognize that God, as Creator and King of all Glory, has both the authority to judge and to bless nations or states.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we, as public servants in the Tennessee General Assembly, seek God's Mercy upon our land and beseech Him to not withdraw His Hand of blessing from us.
Looks like someone in the Tennessee legislature has read this Take from our very own Joel Abbott.
Imagine That: A nation that honors God as king!
