Kopp Disclosure
(John 3:19-21)

Lord,
America and her
mainline churches are declining; and over and over and over again, You say,
"Return to Me and I will restore you."
Increasingly and
intentionally shutting You out of our civil and ecclesiastical governments,
classrooms, market, media, and entertainment, the rivers of living water that
refreshed the land are turning into trickles.
While our part of
the Kingdom known as PCUSA gets smaller and smaller and smaller in size and
cultural influence, claiming 1.7 million on rolls that translates into about a
third of that in really active worship and ministries, we rejoice with the
elders meeting in Detroit this week who remain true to You as a remnant of what
we were yet can still be if we seize this GA meeting moment to confess,
repent, and return to You through Jesus by the book as compelled/chastened by
the Holy Spirit.
Mustard seeds
come to mind.
Gospeling
leaven that mixes in to make all better generates existential hopes for eternal
envisionings.
We thank You for
predestining commissioners, smaller in number yet poorer in spirit, who will
look up, stand up, speak up, and act up for Jesus by the book with enthusiasm
and without equivocation; and though the darkness blurring sight will
strategize to marginalize if not silence them, we trust resurrection for all
who remain faithful during these meantimes.
Your saving
sovereignty as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit regenerates our strong calm sanity
to worship You alone, work for You alone, and witness to You alone with the
Bible as our manual and Jesus as our Master in whose name we pray.
Amen.
