WHAT ABOUT KEN PAXTON???
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program
Attorney General Ken Paxton has been a friend for many, many years and has been endorsed numerous times in the LINK Letter.
There is no doubt that Ken, through his staff at the AGs office, has accomplished much for Texas. This is worthy of applause.

EVERYTHING IS IN DECLINE
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program
Pastor John Bisagno, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Houston, says the following:
“Missiologists say the church may become unable to fulfill the Great Commission within 12 years. Hundreds of unfunded missionaries wait in Richmond. Pastors are quitting. Churches are closing. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America. Baptisms have spiraled downward for 14 years in a row. Our children are shot down in grade school. Gangs are the new family. Homosexuality is celebrated. Politicians are scandalized. Most marriages end in divorce, while more young adults choose to cohabitate. Terrorism threatens. Answers? The government has not a clue. Do we? You bet your boots we do.”
Listen in as Terry Lowry continues with John’s commentary.

PRAYER
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program
Father God,
Thank you for being so very close today. Dry my tears as I cry out to you for forgiveness and peace down deep in my soul.
Accept my shouts for joy as you work in my life today. May I not turn to the right or to the left.
Hold me close as I walk towards heaven.
Help me to cancel out all the noise and distractions that will come across my path.
May I commit all I do, all I say, and all I think to you today.
Father, not my will, but yours be done in my life.
Lord Jesus, shine through me for all to see.
Holy Spirit, fill me to overflowing.
And, if I am granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.
All for the cause of Christ, in whose name I pray,
Amen
