On average, you generate about five pounds of garbage each day. The good news is that an entire industry actually wants your trash. With high heat and a little creativity, they will turn your rubbish into something new and useful. Recyclers are cleaning up the world one blue bin at a time. It’s not just a worthy cause, but the right thing to do for the next generation.

Matthew 9:1

The Bible says God wants to do a similar thing for you. If you are willing, God will take your old life, the one full of secrets and hopelessness, and power wash the darkness away through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Because of His Son’s work, God will actually give you a fresh new clean heart. Your life can then be full of hope and good work.

People of faith, pray for your president and lawmakers today. Plead earnestly that America’s leaders will personally exchange their brokenness for a fresh and new perspective in Jesus. Pray that America will be preserved, one heart at a time. It’s the right thing to do for the next generation.
