Prayer for our Nation
Scripture Subversives
It was denounced by
politicians and religious leaders as a dangerous instrument that would only
spread “subversive” ideas. But after Johannes Gutenberg began printing Bibles
on his newly invented press, there was no stopping it. “It was one of the great
moments in the history of Western civilization,” wrote historian William
Manchester, “and printers throughout Christendom flocked to kindle their
torches from it.” Soon, presses all over Europe were churning out Bibles, and
the Word of God was available to the masses for the first time.

Through him we have also obtained access by
faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory
of God.
Romans 5:2

“Access” is something
we take for granted today. Even a trip to the library has been rendered
superfluous by modern technology. But it hasn’t always been that way and, in
truth, how few of your neighbors and your nation’s leaders have yet obtained
the access that is gained “by faith” to God’s grace. Don’t assume that easy
access in any way diminishes your responsibility to share the Gospel with
others. They still need to hear, from you, about the love of Christ.
As you pray today, ask God to make you a light unto the world – a spiritual torch from which others will be ignited.
