November 26, 2024 | How conversations with Leighton Ford changed the course of my life.

On this Veterans Day, we honor and thank all the brave men and women who have served our country.

Your sacrifices and commitments allowed us all the freedoms we all enjoy and we often take for granted. We are forever grateful for your service. 🙏🏻

In John 17:15-17, Jesus prays for his disciples: “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world”(NIV).

Years ago, I was impacted by Chuck Colson’s book, Kingdoms in Conflict. He said about how God’s Kingdom is so different from earthly kingdoms.

He wrote that “while politics is based on the premise that society must be changed in order to change people, in the politics of the Kingdom it is people who must be changed in order to change society.” As America goes to the polls for an important election, Colson reminds us that God “commands his people to influence the world through their obedience to Him, not by taking over the world.” As Christ-followers, we are called to love our enemies, not just tolerate them! We are called to pe*****te society as salt and light. I encourage Christians to be involved in politics and to pray for those elected to lead.

Near the end of his prayer in John 17, Jesus says “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me” (20-23 NIV).

Colson says Christians should “not rely on government, but on their own pe*******on of society as ‘salt and light.’” In fact, Colson said Christians must therefore resist “the ever-present temptation to usher in the Kingdom of God by political means.” Colson reminded us that the pursuit of power “has been one of Satan’s most effective tools from the beginning, perhaps because he lusts for it so himself.” On this Election Day in America, vote and pray. But seek first the Kingdom of God.

While we can’t help every family affected by this disaster, Boys Home is committed to offering a safe and stable environment for as many young men as possible who were impacted by the storm.

We are here to provide a place of warmth, stability, and support during this stressful and uncertain time. We’re here to help continue your son’s education while surrounding him with a community that cares. To make this easier, we’ve expedited our admissions process to quickly serve those who need us.

Boys Home’s campus is only two hours from Pulaski County, Virginia, four hours from Boone, North Carolina, and four hours from Carter County, Tennessee. We can assist with transportation if needed.

Please help us reach more families by sharing this post or tagging community and agency leaders in the comments.

Contact us today: Brittany Tate at [email protected].

Grace and peace, Anne (LFM board member and chaplain for the Boys Home of Virginia)

This is why we exist, and this is why we love serving those who typically get lost in the world of serving those in the church. If you need or want support please reach out to us, you shouldn’t be walking this leadership journey alone. 🙌🏼

Have you read the attentive life?

Have the leaders in your life led by example?

This is why we aim to help leaders get healthy and stay that way! We are able to live an incredible example when we have wise counsel and people to be honest with. 🙌🏼

There are far too many pastors and leaders walking through tough situations alone. Many of them feel like they have to shepherd everyone around them, leaving the leader feeling lost and frustrated. We are a safe place for leaders to rest and process through these things. 🙏🏼 Tap the link in our bio to learn more!
