For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4
The Romans 15:4 Project 2008 Vision
“. . . let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
(Romans 13:11-14)
Knights and Ladies! “. . . come out of the closet! March on the Bastille! Mount the barricades. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. What is the ammunition? Courage, commitment, conscience, and convictions. Your children are in the balance!” (Boys)
On the East coast, it is okay for children as young as 11 years old to obtain birth control from the school nurse without their parents being notified.
The CDC (center for disease control) has issued warnings about the rise in STDs (s-xually transmitted diseases).
On the West coast, the state of California has made it law to indoctrinate children into the homos-xual lifestyle.
Locally, I couldn’t even walk with my family through a local High School football game here in the small town of Peoria, Illinois without hearing the F-bomb at least a dozen times from students!
And recently a home schooling mother in Utah was threatened with having her children taken away from her!
It is a fallen and FALLING world; The world is cursed with sin and hurting.
Do we, the disciples of Jesus Christ, understand the times? Are we prepared as Christian Knights yearning for eternity, to keep ourselves Holy as He is Holy and to capture every thought for Christ, as we reach out with love and truth to this hurting world? Have we taken our charge to “go and make disciples of all the nations” seriously?
I pray that the saints wake up soon, or our posterity, our children and our children’s children, will pay the price for our apathy and indifference!
This is the Romans 15:4 Project vision for the year of our Lord 2008:
- to promote discipleship; to encourage the knights to stand in the gaps and begin rebuilding the wall of righteousness (Ezekiel 22:27-31 NLT)
- to promote family values; to encourage the knights to lead their families and take primary responsibility for the upbringing of their children (Deuteronomy 11:19)
- to promote action; to encourage the knights to be prepared and to respond (Romans 13:11-14)
- to glorify God! (John 15:8)
- and to do all of the above with love and the good news of Jesus Christ

Sign up for weekly updates. You will be notified of events and be kept current with discipleship and family building initiatives.
I am developing lesson plans and preparing myself to offer Disaster Response Training (DiRT) this September (National Preparedness Month). I am also preparing lesson plans and preparing myself to start American Heritage small group and community forum events. The materials and preparation are not cheap. I would love for everyone to participate, and could really use your support. A $5 donation or more would go a long way.
Of course the Bible Challenge 2007 will continue until completion near Easter, and will begin again for 2008! Blogging devotionals and current events will continue as well.
Thank you and may God bless you!
God willing,

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
